How does LINQ affect correctness under floating-point and cultural comparison rules?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
LINQ inherits comparison behavior from underlying runtime or database, leading to inconsistencies across cultures and numeric precision rules.
Deep explanation
String comparisons in LINQ may depend on culture settings in .NET or collation rules in databases. Similarly, floating-point comparisons may behave differently depending on evaluation context (client vs server). This leads to subtle correctness bugs when data moves between systems.
