Select with Anonymous Types: iterates over each element to print the element's name

public class MainClass {

Select with Anonymous Types: prints uppercase and lowercase versions of each string in an input array

        foreach (var ul in upperLowerWords) {
            Console.WriteLine("Uppercase: {0}, Lowercase: {1}", ul.Upper, ul.Lower);
        }
