  • If you want to be more Linq-like without creating a `ForEach` method:
  • ````
  • vehicles = vehicles
  • .Select(
  • v =>
  • new Vehicle
  • {
  • Make = v.Make,
  • VIN = v.VIN,
  • Color = v.Color,
  • HsRegistration = vinList.Contains(v.VIN)
  • }
  • ).ToList();
  • ````
  • Here we're treating `Vehicle` and the list like immutable objects, and creating modified copies rather than mutating them.

  • Can you make Vehicle a `record` rather than a `class`?
  • ````
  • record VehicleRecord
  • {
  • internal string Make;
  • internal string VIN;
  • internal string Color;
  • internal bool HasRegistration;
  • }
  • ````
  • If so you can simplify this to:
  • ````
  • vehicles = vehicles
  • .Select(
  • v => v with { HasRegistration = vinList.Contains(v.VIN) }
  • ).ToList();
  • ````

````
