Conversion Operators

linq54: ToArray

//c#

    for (int d = 0; d < doublesArray.Length; d += 2) 
    { 
        Console.WriteLine(doublesArray[d]); 
    } 
}

linq55: ToList

//c#
public void Linq55()

    var sortedWords = 
        from w in words

linq56: ToDictionary

//c#

linq57: OfType

//c#
