Using LINQ for Efficient Data Access

One common C# idiom is using LINQ (Language Integrated Query) to query data from various sources, such as databases, XML files, and collections.

LINQ allows you to write queries that are concise and expressive, and it can often be more efficient than traditional query methods.

Implementing the Null-Conditional Operator (?.)

The null-conditional operator (?.) is a useful C# idiom for safely accessing members of an object that may be null.

It allows you to avoid `NullReferenceException` errors by providing a default value if the object is null.
