How can I loop through a List and grab each item?

Question

How can I loop through a List and grab each item?

I want the output to look like this:

Console.WriteLine(\"amount is {0}, and type is {1}\", myMoney         


        

Answer 1

Just like any other collection. With the addition of the List<T>.ForEach method.

foreach (var item in myMoney)
    Console.WriteLine("amount is {0}, and type is {1}", item.amount, item.type);

for (int i = 0; i < myMoney.Count; i++)
    Console.WriteLine("amount is {0}, and type is {1}", myMoney[i].amount, myMoney[i].type);

myMoney.ForEach(item => Console.WriteLine("amount is {0}, and type is {1}", item.amount, item.type));

Answer 2

This is how I would write using more functional way. Here is the code:

new List<Money>()
{
     new Money() { Amount = 10, Type = "US"},
     new Money() { Amount = 20, Type = "US"}
}
.ForEach(money =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"amount is {money.Amount}, and type is {money.Type}");
});

Answer 3

Just for completeness, there is also the LINQ/Lambda way:

myMoney.ForEach((theMoney) => Console.WriteLine("amount is {0}, and type is {1}", theMoney.amount, theMoney.type));

Answer 4

foreach:

foreach (var money in myMoney) {
    Console.WriteLine("Amount is {0} and type is {1}", money.amount, money.type);
}

Alternatively, because it is a List<T>.. which implements an indexer method [], you can use a normal for loop as well.. although its less readble (IMO):

for (var i = 0; i < myMoney.Count; i++) {
    Console.WriteLine("Amount is {0} and type is {1}", myMoney[i].amount, myMoney[i].type);
}
