my design of a bin packing problem is necessary of using an array of lists
(List<double>[n]), each list is list of doubles ..I want to search in each list in the array for equality ,
if repeated I want to... count++
to avoid repeated printed lines.
for example i want a result like that (3,4,3 count 3)instead of printing this line 3 times like that
(3,4,3).
(3,4,3).
(3,4,3).
and if any another ways recommended instead of (Sequence Equal) thanks a lot

What I have tried:

this piece of code
C#
if (resArrofLists[j].SequenceEqual( resArrofLists[j + 1]))

causes this exception
( System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: second

C#
while (resArrofLists[index] != null)
{
	var lineString = new StringBuilder();
	var cutOfOnePole = resArrofLists[index];
	lineString.Append($"{(index+1)}: ");
	foreach (var length in cutOfOnePole)
	{
		
		lineString.Append($"{length} ");
	}

	
	int count = 1;

	for (int i = 0; i < resArrofLists.Length; i++)
	{

		for (int j = i; j < resArrofLists.Length ; j++)
		{

			if (resArrofLists[j].SequenceEqual( resArrofLists[j + 1]))
				count ++;
		}
	}

	lineString.Append($"Count: {count}");
}

The SequenceEqual method requires two parameters. See Enumerable.SequenceEqual Method (System.Linq) | Microsoft Learn[^].

Here is a novel way of achieving the result you require. Each array is converted into a string where each element is separated by a '*'. Matched strings are grouped together and the string and matches count are stored for each group. Finally, each string is deconstructed into an int[] using an extension method and the results are enumerated. It is probably not the best way to go but it was fun to write


C#
internal class Program
{
   private static void Main(string[] args)
   {
     List<int[]> arrayList = new() { new int[] { 1,12,3 }, new int[] { 4,33,5},
     new int[] { 1,12,3 }, new int[] { 4,33,5},new int[] { 4,33,5},new int[] { 6,7,8} };
     int[][] jaggedArray = arrayList.ToArray();
     StringBuilder sb = new();
     List<string> list = new();
     foreach (var array in jaggedArray)
      {
       sb.Clear();
       foreach (var i in array)
        {
          sb.Append(i).Append('*');
        }
        list.Add(sb.ToString().TrimEnd('*'));
         //eg Add("1*12*3")
      };
      var res = list.GroupBy(s => s, (key, matches) => (Id: key, Count: matches.Count()));
      List<(int[] array, int count)> result = new();
      //convert back to int array using a custom extension method
      foreach (var (Id, Count) in res) result.Add((Id.ToIntArray(), Count));
      foreach (var (array, count) in result)
       {
         Console.WriteLine($"{string.Join(',', array)}\t {count}");
       }
           /* prints
            1,12,3   2
            4,33,5   3
            6,7,8    1
           */
           Console.ReadLine();
       }

   }

   public static class Extensions
   {
     public static int[] ToIntArray(this string s)
     {
       string[] elements = s.Split('*');
       List<int> result = new();
       foreach (var e in elements)
        {
         result.Add(Convert.ToInt32(e));
        }
        return result.ToArray();
     }
   }

Thanks for your implementation and for revision for all these collections types
But I guess I didn't mention enough details about the algorithm..
My inputs are a group of 2 parameters let's say 2 integers are (required_lenght & required_quantiy)
Like that
(
Input.Add(length =7, quantity =3)
Input.Add(length =5, quantity =5)
The algorithm's function is to nesting this lengths with this quantity along( a bin or a 1-d pole) with a length of 12 meter
Until this my algorithm is good printing
But printing
(7, 5)
(7, 5)
(7, 5)
(5, 5)
I want to group these repeated results
Like that
(6,5) count 3
(5, 5)count 1


and this is the complete code ..but i deleted body of first and second methods as it is the algorithm of nesting ..if you want them i will send them immediately
i tried to specify it as much i can
and thank you


public class BinPacking
{

static List<double>[] firstFitDec(double[] Requred_lenght, int n, int c)
{


}
static List<double>[] firstFit(double[] Requred_lenght, int n, int c)
{

return resArrofLists;

}


public static void Main(String[] args)
{

var inputList = new List<inputmodel>();
// taking input from a user and add them to list (and repeating elements as requiered quantity)
while (true)
{
Console.WriteLine("Please enter your record with lengh and count like '2,3', and type 'e' to end or type 'a' to abort");
//take value from user
var userInput = Console.ReadLine();
if ( userInput.ToLower() == "a")
{
//end prgram
}
//to end user input at this point
if (userInput.ToLower() == "e")
break;

//parse value to array of two items
var userInputAsIntArray = userInput.Split(',').Select(x =>
{
if (double.TryParse(x, out var number))
return number;
return 0;
}).ToArray();

if (userInputAsIntArray.Length != 2 || userInputAsIntArray.Any(x => x == 0))
{
Console.WriteLine("something went wong");
break;
}
var inputModel = new InputModel { Leng = userInputAsIntArray[0], Coun = (int)userInputAsIntArray[1] };
inputList.Add(inputModel);
}
//convert list of input to arry of ints
var inputAsArray = inputList.Select(x =>
{
return Enumerable.Repeat(x.Leng, x.Coun);
}).SelectMany(a => a.ToArray()).ToArray();



int c = 12;
int n = inputAsArray.Length;

var resArrofLists = (firstFitDec(inputAsArray, n, c));

;
var index = 0;
while (resArrofLists[index] != null)
{
var lineString = new StringBuilder();
var cutOfOnePole = resArrofLists[index];
lineString.Append($"{(index+1)}: ");
foreach (var length in cutOfOnePole)
{

lineString.Append($"{length} ");
}


int count = 1;

lineString.Append($"Count: {count}");

Console.WriteLine(lineString);
index++;


for (int i = 0; i < resArrofLists.Length; i++)
{

for (int j = i; j < resArrofLists.Length; j++)
{
List<double> l1 = resArrofLists[j];
List<double> l2 = resArrofLists[j + 1];
if (l1.SequenceEqual(l2))
count++;
}
}
}
//Console.WriteLine($"all Count: {finalResult.SkipWhile(x=> x == null).Distinct(new ListCompare()).Count()}");
//Console.ReadLine();


}
