List<T>.FindIndex Method

Definition

Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by a specified predicate, and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the List<T> or a portion of it. This method returns -1 if an item that matches the conditions is not found.

Overloads

FindIndex(Int32, Int32, Predicate<T>)

Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the range of elements in the List<T> that starts at the specified index and contains the specified number of elements.

FindIndex(Predicate<T>)

Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the entire List<T>.

FindIndex(Int32, Predicate<T>)

Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the range of elements in the List<T> that extends from the specified index to the last element.

public:
 int FindIndex(int startIndex, int count, Predicate<T> ^ match);
public int FindIndex (int startIndex, int count, Predicate<T> match);
member this.FindIndex : int * int * Predicate<'T> -> int
Public Function FindIndex (startIndex As Integer, count As Integer, match As Predicate(Of T)) As Integer

Parameters

startIndex
Int32

The zero-based starting index of the search.

count
Int32

The number of elements in the section to search.

match
Predicate<T>

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

Returns

The zero-based index of the first occurrence of an element that matches the conditions defined by match, if found; otherwise, -1.

Exceptions

match is null.

startIndex is outside the range of valid indexes for the List<T>.

-or-

count is less than 0.

-or-

startIndex and count do not specify a valid section in the List<T>.

Examples

The following example defines an Employee class with two fields, Name and Id. It also defines an EmployeeSearch class with a single method, StartsWith, that indicates whether the Employee.Name field starts with a specified substring that is supplied to the EmployeeSearch class constructor. Note the signature of this method

public bool StartsWith(Employee e)
Public Function StartsWith(e As Employee) As Boolean

corresponds to the signature of the delegate that can be passed to the FindIndex method. The example instantiates a List<Employee> object, adds a number of Employee objects to it, and then calls the FindIndex(Int32, Int32, Predicate<T>) method twice to search the entire collection (that is, the members from index 0 to index Count - 1). The first time, it searches for the first Employee object whose Name field begins with "J"; the second time, it searches for the first Employee object whose Name field begins with "Ju".

Remarks

The List<T> is searched forward starting at startIndex and ending at startIndex plus count minus 1, if count is greater than 0.

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 the current List<T> are individually passed to the Predicate<T> delegate. The delegate has the signature:

public bool methodName(T obj)
Public Function methodName(obj As T) As Boolean

This method performs a linear search; therefore, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is count.
