Question

I have as List of strings with where i remove each duplicates, now I want to filter it even more to get the last 5 records. How can I do this?

What I got so far

 List<string> query = otherlist.Distinct().Select(a => a).ToList();

Answer 1

You do not need the .Select(a => a). Thats redundant.

You can get the last 5 records, by skipping over the rest like

List<string> query = otherlist.Distinct().ToList();
List<string> lastFive = query.Skip(query.Count-5).ToList();
