Is there a better lambda expression for this

Unity Engine
1

I’m using a lambda expression to find the element in a list:

var ienumerable = this.deployedFirecrackers.Where(x => x.firecracker.gameObjectInstance == firecrackerGameObject);
FirecrackerListEntry fle = ienumerable.ElementAt(0);

Basically, the element is guaranteed to be in the list. And it will only exist in the list once.
Hence the code works, but is there a better/alternative lambda expression for finding the element when the above conditions are guaranteed?

Are you looking for FirstOrDefault?

Or maybe just First?

Yes, that works out better than my original approach.

var fle = this.deployedFirecrackers.First(x => x.firecracker.gameObjectInstance == firecrackerGameObject);

FirstOrDefault is always best since it never throw null exception on empty element.
