Hi,

For Example:

My Row data is

C#

string[] filePaths1 = { "7.1", "7.1", "7.2", "7.2", "7.3", "7.4" };

I need a linq query that will give me the list of list with the number of unique data.

For example:

7.1 => 2
7.2 => 2
7.3 => 1
7.4 => 1

Thanks,

You could do like this:

C#

string[] filePaths1 = { "7.1", "7.1", "7.2", "7.2", "7.3", "7.4" };

List<string> distinctFilePaths = filePaths1.Distinct().ToList();

foreach(string filePath in distinctFilePaths)
{
    int count = filePaths1.Count(x => x == filePath);
}

@downvoter: What is wrong with this solution?

Solution 2

Use a generic Dictionary<string, int>. Iterate over the original list, comparing every entry with the dictionary using the ContainsKey() method. Keys that don't exist yet, get a new entry in the dictionary with Add(whateverString, 1), existing keys just increase their value using YourDictionary[whateverString]++

Solution 1

For example using Linq:

C#

string[] filePaths1 = { "7.1", "7.1", "7.2", "7.2", "7.3", "7.4" };

var qry = from s in filePaths1
		group s by s into grp
		select new{
			num = grp.Key,
			count = grp.Count()
		};
//then...
foreach(var o in qry)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} -> {1}", o.num, o.count);
}
