Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, and returns the last occurrence within the entire Array.

public:
generic <typename T>
 static T FindLast(cli::array <T> ^ array, Predicate<T> ^ match);

public static T FindLast<T> (T[] array, Predicate<T> match);

public static T? FindLast<T> (T[] array, Predicate<T> match);

static member FindLast : 'T[] * Predicate<'T> -> 'T

Public Shared Function FindLast(Of T) (array As T(), match As Predicate(Of T)) As T

Type Parameters

T

The type of the elements of the array.

Parameters

array: T[]

The one-dimensional, zero-based Array to search.

match: Predicate<T>

The Predicate<T> that defines the conditions of the element to search for.

Returns

The last element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, if found; otherwise, the default value for type T.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

array is null.

-or-

match is null.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the Find, FindLast, and FindAll generic methods. An array of strings is created, containing 8 dinosaur names, two of which (at positions 1 and 5) end with "saurus". The code example also defines a search predicate method named EndsWithSaurus, which accepts a string parameter and returns a Boolean value indicating whether the input string ends in "saurus".

The Find generic method traverses the array from the beginning, passing each element in turn to the EndsWithSaurus method. The search stops when the EndsWithSaurus method returns true for the element "Amargasaurus".

Note

In C# and Visual Basic, it is not necessary to create thePredicate<string> delegate (Predicate(Of String) in Visual Basic) explicitly. These languages infer the correct delegate from context and create it automatically.

The FindLast generic method is used to search the array backward from the end. It finds the element "Dilophosaurus" at position 5. The FindAll generic method is used to return an array containing all the elements that end in "saurus". The elements are displayed.

The code example also demonstrates the Exists and TrueForAll generic methods.

Remarks

The Predicate<T> is a delegate to a method that returns true if the object passed to it matches the conditions defined in the delegate. The elements of array are individually passed to the Predicate<T>, moving backward in the Array, starting with the last element and ending with the first element. Processing is stopped when a match is found.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is the Length of array.
