Anonymous Function - Anonymous Method

Anonymous Function - Anonymous Method

//using System;
//using System.Collections.Generic
//derived from http://www.dotnetperls.com/anonymous-function
//ON section 'Anonymous Functions'
/*
KEY POINTS
The FindAll method used here in the anonyMethod syntax allows for filtering 
of a list.   This would be handy in the future if you have a list data type,
and you want to filter, based on MULTIPLE CONDITIONS.

	• AnonyFunctions/Methods use delegates
	• Lambda though clearer, not as robust if you need to test for
	multiple statements.

Syntax here provides more powerful method bodies.

	//This syntax enables you to embed multiple statements in a anonymous function.
