Input: IEnumerable
Optional expression: TSource => bool
Count simply enumerates over a sequence, returning the number of items:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int fullCount = new int[] { 5, 6, 7 }.Count(); // 3
Console.WriteLine(fullCount);
}
}
The output:
3
You can optionally supply a predicate:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int digitCount = "rntsoft.com".Count(c => char.IsDigit(c)); // 3
Console.WriteLine(digitCount);
}
}
