Find index of item in list

Questions & Answers

The purpose of the following code is to create a list of indexes of ammo that matches the requirements of a given weapon (type and caliber and effect)

In the following code, I get require a predicate to get it to work. (at the find index method)

How is this done/ is there a better method?

the code:

    /// <summary>
	/// Returns ammo matching the given type and prefix
	/// </summary>
	/// <returns>ammo matching the given type in a list</returns>
	/// <param name="theAmmoType">The ammo type enum.</param>
	public List<int> FetchAmmo (ammoType theAmmoType, string ammoPrefix)
	{
		// list to return
		List<int> result = new List<int>();
		// iterate through whitelisted ammo
		foreach (var item in availableAmmo) 
		{
			// sort
			if (item.myAmmoType == theAmmoType)
			{
				// check prefix of string
				if (item.name.Contains(ammoPrefix))
				// add the item
				result.Add(availableAmmo.FindIndex(item));
			}
		}
		// throw back
		return result;
	}

You are looking for the index of the item so use IndexOf with the item instead:

  result.Add(availableAmmo.IndexOf(item));

if availableAmmo is an array

 result.Add(Array.IndexOf(availableAmmo, item));

or use a for loop:

for (int i = 0; i < availableAmmo.Length ; i++) // or count if it is a list
{
    if(condition){
          result.Add(i);
    }
}
