Remarks

The one-dimensional Array is searched backward starting at the last element and ending at the first element.

The elements are compared to the specified value using the Object.Equals method. If the element type is a nonintrinsic (user-defined) type, the Equals implementation of that type is used.

Since most arrays will have a lower bound of zero, this method would generally return -1 when value is not found. In the rare case that the lower bound of the array is equal to Int32.MinValue and value is not found, this method returns Int32.MaxValue, which is System.Int32.MinValue - 1.

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

In .NET Framework 2.0 and later versions, this method uses the Equals and CompareTo methods of the Array to determine whether the Object specified by the value parameter exists. In earlier versions of .NET Framework, this determination was made by using the Equals and CompareTo methods of the value Object itself.

CompareTo methods of the item parameter on the objects in the collection.

Remarks

The one-dimensional Array is searched backward starting at startIndex and ending at the first element.

The elements are compared to the specified value using the Object.Equals method. If the element type is a nonintrinsic (user-defined) type, the Equals implementation of that type is used.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is the number of elements from the beginning of array to startIndex.

Searches for the specified object and returns the index of the last occurrence within the range of elements in the one-dimensional Array that contains the specified number of elements and ends at the specified index.

Public Shared Function LastIndexOf (array As Array, value As Object, startIndex As Integer, count As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

array: Array

The one-dimensional Array to search.

value: Object

The object to locate in array.

startIndex: Int32

The starting index of the backward search.

count: Int32

The number of elements in the section to search.

Returns

Int32

The index of the last occurrence of value within the range of elements in array that contains the number of elements specified in count and ends at startIndex, if found; otherwise, the lower bound of the array minus 1.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

array is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex is outside the range of valid indexes for array.

-or-

count is less than zero.

-or-

startIndex and count do not specify a valid section in array.

RankException

array is multidimensional.

Examples

The following code example shows how to determine the index of the last occurrence of a specified element in an array. Note that the LastIndexOf method is a backward search; therefore, count must be less than or equal to (startIndex minus the lower bound of the array plus 1).

Remarks

The one-dimensional Array is searched backward starting at startIndex and ending at startIndex minus count plus 1, if count is greater than 0.

The elements are compared to the specified value using the Object.Equals method. If the element type is a nonintrinsic (user-defined) type, theEquals implementation of that type is used.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is count.

LastIndexOf<T>(T[], T)

Searches for the specified object and returns the index of the last occurrence within the entire Array.

public:
generic <typename T>

public static int LastIndexOf<T> (T[] array, T value);

static member LastIndexOf : 'T[] * 'T -> int

Public Shared Function LastIndexOf(Of T) (array As T(), value As T) As Integer

Type Parameters

T

The type of the elements of the array.

Parameters

array: T[]

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

value: T

The object to locate in array.

Returns

Int32

The zero-based index of the last occurrence of value within the entire array, if found; otherwise, -1.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

array is null.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates all three generic overloads of the LastIndexOf method. An array of strings is created, with one entry that appears twice, at index location 0 and index location 5. The LastIndexOf<T>(T[], T) method overload searches the entire array from the end, and finds the second occurrence of the string. The LastIndexOf<T>(T[], T, Int32) method overload is used to search the array backward beginning with index location 3 and continuing to the beginning of the array, and finds the first occurrence of the string. Finally, the LastIndexOf<T>(T[], T, Int32, Int32) method overload is used to search a range of four entries, beginning at index location 4 and extending backward (that is, it searches the items at locations 4, 3, 2, and 1); this search returns -1 because there are no instances of the search string in that range.

Remarks

The Array is searched backward starting at startIndex and ending at the first element.

The elements are compared to the specified value using the Object.Equals method. If the element type is a nonintrinsic (user-defined) type, the Equals implementation of that type is used.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is the number of elements from the beginning of array to startIndex.

Applies to

LastIndexOf<T>(T[], T, Int32, Int32)

Source:: Array.cs

Source:: Array.cs

Source:: Array.cs

Searches for the specified object and returns the index of the last occurrence within the range of elements in the Array that contains the specified number of elements and ends at the specified index.

public:
generic <typename T>
 static int LastIndexOf(cli::array <T> ^ array, T value, int startIndex, int count);

public static int LastIndexOf<T> (T[] array, T value, int startIndex, int count);

static member LastIndexOf : 'T[] * 'T * int * int -> int

Public Shared Function LastIndexOf(Of T) (array As T(), value As T, startIndex As Integer, count As Integer) As Integer

Type Parameters

T

The type of the elements of the array.

Parameters

array: T[]

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

value: T

The object to locate in array.

startIndex: Int32

The zero-based starting index of the backward search.

count: Int32

The number of elements in the section to search.

Returns

Int32

The zero-based index of the last occurrence of value within the range of elements in array that contains the number of elements specified in count and ends at startIndex, if found; otherwise, -1.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

array is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex is outside the range of valid indexes for array.

-or-

count is less than zero.

-or-

startIndex and count do not specify a valid section in array.

Remarks

The Array is searched backward starting at startIndex and ending at startIndex minus count plus 1, if count is greater than 0.

The elements are compared to the specified value using the Object.Equals method. If the element type is a nonintrinsic (user-defined) type, the Equals implementation of that type is used.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is count.
