C# | Get the first node of the LinkedList<T>

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

LinkedList<T>.First

property is used to get the first node of the LinkedList<T>.

Syntax:

public System.Collections.Generic.LinkedListNode First { get; }

Return Value:

The first

LinkedListNode<T>

of the

LinkedList<T>

. Below given are some examples to understand the implementation in a better way:

Example 1: CSHARP


 // C# code to get the first
// node of the LinkedList
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Creating a LinkedList of Strings
        LinkedList<String> myList = new LinkedList<String>();

        // Adding nodes in LinkedList
        myList.AddLast("Geeks");
        myList.AddLast("for");
        myList.AddLast("Data Structures");
        myList.AddLast("Noida");

        // To get the first node of the LinkedList
        if (myList.Count > 0)
            Console.WriteLine(myList.First.Value);
        else
            Console.WriteLine("LinkedList is empty");
    }
}

Output:

Geeks

Example 2: CSHARP


 // C# code to get the first
// node of the LinkedList
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Creating a LinkedList of Integers
        LinkedList<int> myList = new LinkedList<int>();

        // To get the first node of the LinkedList
        if (myList.Count > 0)
            Console.WriteLine(myList.First.Value);
        else
            Console.WriteLine("LinkedList is empty");
    }
}

Output:

LinkedList is empty

Note:

LinkedList accepts null as a valid Value for reference types and allows duplicate values.
If the LinkedList is empty, the First and Last properties contain null.
Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
