Linq and lambda expression

Question

What is the difference between LINQ and Lambda Expressions? Are there any advantages to using lambda instead of linq queries?

Answer 1

In a nutshell:

LINQ is a quering technology (Language Integrated Query). LINQ makes extensive use of lambda's as arguments to standard query operator methods such as the Where clause.

A lambda expression is an anonymous function that contain expressions and statements. It is completely separate and distinct from LINQ.
