A method to count occurrences in a list

Your outer loop is looping over all the words in the list  It s unnecessary and will cause you problems  Remove it and it should work properly

You can do something like this to count from a list of things   IList lt String gt  names   new List lt string gt       ToString    Format     IEnumerable lt String gt  methodNames   typeof String  GetMethods   Select x   gt  x Name    int count   methodNames Where x   gt  names Contains x   Count      To count a single element  string occur    Test1   IList lt String gt  words   new List lt string gt      Test1   Test2   Test3   Test1     int count   words Where x   gt  x Equals occur   Count

How about something like this      var l1   new List lt int gt      1 2 3 4 5 2 2 2 4 4 4 1     var g   l1 GroupBy  i   gt  i     foreach  var grp in g       Console WriteLine    0   1    grp Key  grp Count          Edit per comment   I will try and do this justice      In my example  it s a Func lt int  TKey gt  because my list is ints   So  I m telling GroupBy how to group my items   The Func takes a int and returns the the key for my grouping   In this case  I will get an IGrouping lt int int gt   a grouping of ints keyed by an int    If I changed it to  i   gt  i ToString     for example  I would be keying my grouping by a string   You can imagine a less trivial example than keying by  1    2    3      maybe I make a function that returns  one    two    three  to be my keys      private string SampleMethod  int i          magically return  One  if i    1   Two  if i    2  etc      So  that s a Func that would take an int and return a string  just like      i   gt      magically return  One  if i    1   Two  if i    2  etc     But  since the original question called for knowing the original list value and it s count  I just used an integer to key my integer grouping to make my example simpler
