Private Shared Sub Sample_ToLookup_Lambda()
Dim words As String() = {“one”, “two”, “three”, “four”, “five”, “six”, _
“seven”}

Dim result = words.ToLookup(Function(w) w.Length)

For i As Integer = 1 To 5
    Debug.WriteLine([String].Format("Elements with a length of {0}:", i))
    For Each word As String In result(i)
        Debug.WriteLine(word)
    Next
Next

End Sub

ToLookup is the same as GroupBy; the only difference is the execution of GroupBy is deferred whereas ToLookup execution is immediate.

taken from here:

for Learning purpose we would recommend to start with GroupBy

about the let keyword you got answered some days back: LINK

k is representing the key which is used for grouping and acts similar a local variable within the LINQ statement. Same is for cd, cn ,ra, grp and let it use within the statement.
grp is representing the current group within the LINQ statement

A more info to the LINQ Query syntax find here:

Maybe it looks more as a filter task:

But could look like this:

same in the Query Syntax:
(From i in {10,20,50,35,40}
Group i by k=(i Mod 10) into grp=Group
Select grp.ToArray).ToList
