                    });

        foreach (var val in result)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(val.Count+"File(s) with "+val.Extension+" Extension ");

Explanation:

In the above program, we created a class LinqDemo that contains the Main() method. In the Main() method we created a string array fileNames that contains the name of the files with different extensions. Then we count the file extensions and group them using LINQ. Then we print the extension and its count using the foreach loop on the console screen.
