Repeated Word Count In A String Using C# Dictionary

This blog presents a repeated word count in a string, using C# dictionary.

In this blog, we are going to learn how to get a duplicate word in a given string. Today(4/11/2017) a person posted a query to find the duplicate word from a textbox and wanted to display it on another textbox. For this reason, I am posting this blog for all the users who needs to apply the same logic in the future. It will be helpful to others. 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace CountRepeatedWordCount
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string Word;
            Console.WriteLine("Enter the word!..");
            Word = Console.ReadLine();   // Read the Input string from User at Run Time
            var Value = Word.Split(' ');  // Split the string using 'Space' and stored it an var variable
            Dictionary<string, int> RepeatedWordCount = new Dictionary<string, int>();
            for (int i = 0; i < Value.Length; i++) //loop the splited string
            {
                if (RepeatedWordCount.ContainsKey(Value[i])) // Check if word already exist in dictionary update the count
                {
                    int value = RepeatedWordCount[Value[i]];
                    RepeatedWordCount[Value[i]] = value + 1;
                }
                else
                {
                    RepeatedWordCount.Add(Value[i], 1);  // if a string is repeated and not added in dictionary , here we are adding
                }
            }
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine("------------------------------------");
            Console.WriteLine("Repeated words and counts");
            foreach (KeyValuePair<string, int> kvp in RepeatedWordCount)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(kvp.Key + " Counts are " + kvp.Value);  // Print the Repeated word and its count
            }
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

Step 1

Copy the code and paste it on C# console Application.

 

Note

Create the Application with same name CountRepeatedWordCount or alter the copied code, as per your Application name.

 

Step 2

Save and Run the Application. Now, you can enter the string and see the output.
