Okay, so let's say I have a List<car>
. Each car also contains a List<part>
. Each part has an ID
associated with it. I'm only given the ID
to a part
, and I want to find the car
that contains that part
. What is the best way to find this car
?
Using any() along with a generator expression: list1 = ['item1','item2','item3'] list2 = ['item4','item5','item3'] if any(x in list1 for x in list2): print("Duplicates found.") else: print("No duplicates found.")
Use the any() function to check if a value exists in a two-dimensional list, e.g. if any('value' in nested_list for nested_list in my_2d_list): . The any() function will return True if the value exists in the list and False otherwise.
There are 2 ways to understand check if the list contains elements of another list. First, use all() functions to check if a Python list contains all the elements of another list. And second, use any() function to check if the list contains any elements of another one.
How about with LINQ?
List<Car> cars = ...
var carToFind = cars.FirstOrDefault(car => car.Parts.Any(part => part.Id == idToFind));
In English: "Find the first car (or null if no such car exists) that has any part with an Id matching the desired Id."
