Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by a specified predicate, and returns the zero-based index of the last occurrence within an Array or a portion of it.
Overloads FindLastIndex<T>(T[], Predicate<T>)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 Array.
FindLastIndex<T>(T[], Int32, Predicate<T>)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 range of elements in the Array that extends from the first element to the specified index.
FindLastIndex<T>(T[], 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 last occurrence within the range of elements in the Array that contains the specified number of elements and ends at the specified index.
ExamplesThe following code example demonstrates all three overloads of the FindLastIndex generic method. 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 FindLastIndex<T>(T[], Predicate<T>) method overload traverses the array backward from the end, passing each element in turn to the EndsWithSaurus
method. The search stops when the EndsWithSaurus
method returns true
for the element at position 5.
Note
In C#, F# and Visual Basic, it is not necessary to create the Predicate<string>
delegate (Predicate(Of String)
in Visual Basic) explicitly. These languages infer the correct delegate from context and create it automatically.
The FindLastIndex<T>(T[], Int32, Predicate<T>) method overload is used to search the array beginning at position 4 and continuing backward to the beginning of the array. It finds the element at position 1. Finally, the FindLastIndex<T>(T[], Int32, Int32, Predicate<T>) method overload is used to search the range of three elements beginning at position 4 and working backward (that is, elements 4, 3, and 2). It returns -1 because there are no dinosaur names in that range that end with "saurus".
