What is more readable? [closed]

Question

I have these two pieces of code, wich one is more readable?

1. foreach

   decimal technicalPremium = 0;
   foreach (Risk risk in risks)
   {
        technicalPremium = technicalPremium + risk.TechnicalPremium;
   }
   return technicalPremium;
   

2. linq

   return risks.Sum(risk => risk.TechnicalPremium);
   

Answer 1

If the team that works on the code knows what the Linq version does and knows its inner workings, then it is more readable.

Answer 2

Use whichever you prefer but hide it in a method:

return risks.SumTechnicalPremium();

Answer 3

Neither. The first one is more verbose and likely to be understood by everyone. The second one is more concise and easily understood by everyone with even a passing knowledge of linq.

I'd say you can base your choice on the environment you are in.
