 ## Query operators
 
-In a LINQ query, the first step is to specify the data source. In a LINQ query, the `from` clause comes first in order to introduce the data source (`customers`) and the *range variable* (`cust`).

-The range variable is like the iteration variable in a `foreach` loop except that no actual iteration occurs in a query expression. When the query is executed, the range variable serves as a reference to each successive element in `customers`. Because the compiler can infer the type of `cust`, you don't have to specify it explicitly. You can introduce more range variables in a `let` clause. For more information, see [let clause](../../language-reference/keywords/let-clause.md).
