C# Querying With LINQ Now You're Querying Using Query Syntax

Need some assistance with this one. Please help with this LINQ query question.

I tried writing a LINQ query as expressed in the course and also using a lambda expression, but I cannot seem to get past this challenge.

NumberAnalysis.cs
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class NumberAnalysis
    {
        private List<int> _numbers;
        public NumberAnalysis()
        {
            _numbers = new List<int> { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 };
        }


        public NumbersGreaterThanFive()
        {

               //First Attempt:  Failed...

               // IEnumerable<int>numbersGreaterThanFive = 
               // from n in _numbers 
               // where n > 5 
               // select n;

               // no return line on the first attempt...

               //Second Attempt:  Failed...

               //IEnumerable<int>NumbersGreaterThanFive =  from n 
               //in _numbers 
               //where n > 5 
               //select n;  

               //return NumbersGreaterThanFive;

               return _numbers.Where(n => n > 5); //version 3

                //return numbersGreaterThanFive;
        }

    }
}

John,

Are you receiving an error message? If so, what does the error message say?

Thanks ~James

Hi James. Thank you for reaching out. I figured out what I did wrong a few minutes ago. I needed to declare the method as IEnumerable..... public IEnumerable<int> NumbersGreaterThanFive()

After I did that I was able to pass the challenge.
