How to count number of times a value is in a list

I am basically running a simulation about 1000 times and wanting to store the total that the player receives in each run into a list. At the end of the 1000 times, I want to then cycle through the list and figure out how many times each round total is on the list.

So for example I run a simulation 5 times:

The list will contain 5 int values ex: 1000, 750, 1100, 750, 1000

I want to cycle through that list and print out how many times a total shows up.

"1000 = 2 times"
"750 = 2 times"
"1100 = 1 time"

Hopefully, this is making sense and I appreciate any help!

 

use loop to count how many time for each Index

int totalTime =0;

for(int i = 0; i < list.Lenght; i++)
{
totalTime += list [ i ] .times
}

EDIT ( not sur to understand your problem ^^)

 

Linq has a GroupBy method and a Count method. You could also use its ToDictionary functionality or just the overload of Count that takes a Predicate<int>.

 

Yeah, you can use linq, but it can be slow:

Code (CSharp):

1. foreach (var group in list.GroupBy(i=>i))
2. {
3.     Debug.Log(string.Format("Item {0}: {1} times", group.Key, group.Count()));
4. }

 

LOL

 

What is so funny?

 

It's a non-Unity programming problem. Easy to look up. It's also a standard array example. Make int[] AllScores; going up the the highest possible score. After each run use: AllScores[pointsThisRun]++;.

 

Thanks, this worked out perfect for me!

 

The note that linq can be slow juxtaposed with the context set by the original question.
