help translating pseudocode into C#

Unity Engine
1

I’ve recently begun working with unity C# and I’ve been having a lot of trouble overcoming a seemingly simple task. I am basically writing a simple script that asks a parent for a list of it’s children, and then loops through the children comparing their names to a master list that I have created.

I’m struggling with getting this to function and the only thing I can think to do is to give you guys some psuedo code and see if anyone can help me create a functioning script.

If simple things like loop constructs and arrays/lists are stumping you I’d suggest you invest in a C# book or find some a good online course or set of tutorials that teaches from basic command structures and primitive types though to collections. It’ll save you a lot of time in the long run.

a bunch of parentheses could be removed, but for completeness i kept them all.

int count = 0;
List<Transform> failedObj = new List<Transform>();

foreach(Transform childTransform in transform)
{
  bool hasMatched = false;

  foreach(Transform obj in MasterList)
  {
    if (childTransform == obj)
    {
      hasMatch = true;
      break;
    }
  }

  if(hasMatch)
  {
    failedObj.Add(childTransform);
  }

  count++;
}

I agree entirely with what you’re suggesting. That is what I am doing and plan on continuing to do, however my current project is time sensitive and i’m having to work in an area I am not comfortable with yet.

thank you Landern, this gives me a great place to start. I appreciate your time.
