Csharp/CSharp Tutorial/LINQ/GroupBy

GroupBy partitions a list of numbers by their remainder when divided by 5.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        int[] numbers = { 5, 4, 1, 3, 9 };
        var numberGroups =
            from n in numbers
            group n by n % 5 into g
            select new { Remainder = g.Key, Numbers = g };
        foreach (var g in numberGroups) {
            Console.WriteLine("Numbers with a remainder of {0} when divided by 5:", g.Remainder);
            foreach (var n in g.Numbers) {
                Console.WriteLine(n);
            }
        }
    }
}

using System.Reflection;
public class MainClass{
   public static void Main(){
            var query = from m in typeof(double).GetMethods()
                        select m.Name;
            var q = from m in typeof(double).GetMethods()
                    group m by m.Name into gb
                    select new {Name = gb.Key, Overloads = gb.Count()};
   }

uses GroupBy to partition trimmed elements of an array using a custom comparer

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        string[] anagrams = { "from ", " salt", " earn ", " last ", " near ", " form " };

                    new AnagramEqualityComparer()
                    );
        foreach (var v in orderGroups) {
            Console.WriteLine(v);

    }
    public class AnagramEqualityComparer : IEqualityComparer<string> {

        }

            return getCanonicalString(obj).GetHashCode();
        }
        private string getCanonicalString(string word) {
            char[] wordChars = word.ToCharArray();
            Array.Sort<char>(wordChars);
            return new string(wordChars);
