Question

I have a dictionary which is sorted in descending order.Each string (key) is a term and the int (value) its count. How I get the first count? because it refers to the maximum count (frequency)……. thanks in advance.

Just to inform some of whom commented that the dictionary<string,int> will change its
rank. Be sure, if you are grouping  the dictionary by its count, there is no problem  
with the order . Always the dictionary will come with highest count at first.

Answer 1

What do you mean by ‘dictionary sorted in descending order’? A Dictionary<TKey,TValue> by definition is unsorted! Do you mean SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue>? If so, you can use:

var firstCount = sortedDictionary.First().Value;
