Find the most frequent numbers in an array using LINQ [duplicate]

Answer 1

I think the most frequent number can also be achieved in a single query like this-

  var query = (from i in list
               group i by i into g
               orderby g.Count() descending
               select new { Key = g.Key, Count = g.Count() }).FirstOrDefault();
  if (query == null) Console.WriteLine("query = NULL");
  else  Console.WriteLine("The number '{0}' occurs {1} times.", query.Key, query.Count);

Null check is not really required but it may be useful when null is actually expected (like Empty list?)
