C# Round to list values

Question

I'm trying to round a result value to the next number in a list.

If the value is (187) I need to set the result to (240)

int[] list = new int[] { 16, 25, 35, 50, 70, 95, 120, 150, 185, 240, 300, 400 };
double max;
max = list.Where(x => x <= result).Max();

But this does not work.

Answer 1

You're close:

list.Where(x => x >= result).Min();

Answer 2

You just want the first item greater than or equal to your expected result:

var max = list.FirstOrDefault(x => x >= result)

NOTE: This assumes the list is ordered, as your example seems to suggest.

If you want to get an exception if there's no match then just use First:

var max = list.First(x => x >= result)
