Voting System Using List (C#)

Question

Good morrow to you all.

I've been making this card game, and encountered a problem that I myself can't solve.

So, there is a deck of cards (list of strings, the game doesn't require anything more complex), and a list of players.

Every player can vote a player once, and in a function I want to calculate how many votes each player gets.

 for (int i = 0; i < playerAmount; i++)
 {
     if (votedPlayers.Contains(players[i]))
     {
         voteCounts[i]++;
     }
 }

votedPlayers contains a string for what player the voter voted for.

voteCounts contains an int for how many votes a player gets.

This really isn't the proper way to do it since it does not work, so I am asking if the humble community of Unity would know how to help me.

Best Regards,

Kirei

Personally I would create a dictionary to store the voting data.

Assuming the following declarations:

 List<string> votedPlayers;
 Dictionary<string, int> voteCounts;

Then the following should do the trick:

 foreach(string player in votedPlayers){
     voteCounts[player] += 1;
 }
