How does LINQ compare to traditional for loops in performance?

How does LINQ compare to traditional for loops in performance?

LINQ can be more readable and concise, but it may have performance overhead compared to traditional for loops.

What specific scenarios should I use LINQ over for loops?

Use LINQ for data querying and manipulation when readability is a priority, especially with complex data sets.

Are there any benchmarks available for comparing their performance?

Yes, benchmarks often show that for loops are faster for simple iterations, while LINQ shines in more complex queries.

Can you provide an example of both in C#?

Sure! For a for loop: for(int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++) { ... } and for LINQ: var result = array.Where(x => x > 10);.
