Finding count of particular items from a list

[marcialwushu]

I have a List<String> with 1000 names. I want to find out the count of names which is starting with letter "S".

What will be the best option to do it?

If Linq is available

using System.Linq;
list.Where(s=>s!=null && s.StartsWith("S")).Count();

if Linq is not available.

int count=0;
foreach (string s in list) {
  if (s!=null && s.StartsWith("S")) count++;
}

var count = list.Where(x => x != null && x.StartsWith("S")).Count();

[marcialwushu]

int k = 0;
foreach (string aName in yourStringList)
{
  if (aName.StartsWith("S"))
    {
    k++
    }
}

List<string> list = new List<string>();
...
int count = list.Count(c =>  c!= null && c.StartsWith("S"));
