Is List.where identical to List.filter?

Question

I intended to use List.filter but accidentally wrote List.where without noticing (I'm used to LINQ). To my surprise this function seems to actually exist and do the exact same thing as List.filter. However, I couldn't find any documentation on List.where on MSDN.

Are the two functions equivalent?

Answer 1

Yes, they're identical; I assume .where's existence is solely for LINQ users who would wonder where it is otherwise.
