Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains Employee class and a Main() function. The Employee class contains the data member id, name, age, and salary.

The Main() function is the entry point for the program. In the Main() function, We created a list of employees and then skip the first 3 records using LINQ query syntax and then print the result on the console screen.
