Lambda expression vs LINQ Query Expression in c#

Question

What is the difference between Lambda expression and LINQ Query expression in c#?

 

Please refer the below code.

 

// Student collection
IList<Student> studentList = new List<Student>() {
new Student() { StudentID = 1, StudentName = "John", Age = 13} ,
new Student() { StudentID = 2, StudentName = "Moin", Age = 21 } ,
new Student() { StudentID = 3, StudentName = "Bill", Age = 18 } ,
new Student() { StudentID = 4, StudentName = "Ram" , Age = 20} ,
new Student() { StudentID = 5, StudentName = "Ron" , Age = 15 }
};
// Method -1 LINQ Query Syntax to find out teenager students
var teenAgerStudent = from s in studentList
where s.Age > 12 && s.Age < 20
select s;


// Method -2 Lambda expression to find out teenager students
var teenAgerStudent1 = studentList.Where(x=>x.Age > 12 && x.Age < 20).Select(x=>x).ToList();

Which is best method and why ?

Difference between method-1 and method-2?
