The LINQ documentation had contradictory information about the
group by
syntax. Two pages showed different syntax patterns:group … by
(incomplete)group <element> by <key>
syntaxThe first syntax was missing the ellipsis after "by" to indicate that a key expression is required. This made it appear as if you could write
group something by
without specifying what to group by, which is incorrect.Changes
Updated the syntax tables in both files to show the complete syntax:
group … by
togroup … by …
group <element> by <key>
The fix ensures consistency across all LINQ documentation by showing that both the element to group and the grouping key are required parts of the syntax.
Fixes #41003.
