This method is used to search for an element which matches the conditions defined by a specified predicate and returns the zero-based index of the last occurrence within the List<T> or a portion of it. There are 3 methods in the overload list of this method:
- FindLastIndex(Predicate<T>) Method
- FindLastIndex(Int32, Predicate<T>) Method
- FindLastIndex(Int32, Int32, Predicate<T>) Method
Here, we will discuss only the first method i.e.
FindLastIndex(Predicate<T>)
List<T>.FindLastIndex(Predicate<T>) Method searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate and returns the zero-based index of the last occurrence within the entire
List<T>.
Syntax:
public int FindLastIndex (Predicate <T> match);
Here, the
match is the Predicate <T> delegate that defines the conditions of the element to search for.
Return Value: If the element is found then it returns the zero-based index of type int or Int32 of the last element that matches a specified condition by the parameter "match". And if not found then it returns "-1".
Exception: This method will throw
ArgumentNullException if the
match is null.
Example 1: In this example, creating a List named "PC" that contains some element. Our task is to find an element named "Computer" and prints its index.
Example 2: This example is the extended form of the previous example. In this example, we use an XML file and search an item and prints the index of that item. If the item is not found then prints "-1" and if found then prints the index. The item is\ "GeeksForGeeks".
