Remove last x elements from the list

Question

Lets say I have a List<Car> Cars that have n items and I want to delete the last two. The best way that I found is:

Cars.RemoveRange(Cars.Count-2, 2);

Is there better way? I searching something like this:

Cars.RemoveFrom(Cars.Count-2); //pseudocode

Answer 1

No, there isn't... But if you want you can put it in an extension method.

static class ListEx
{
    public static void RemoveFrom<T>(this List<T> lst, int from)
    {
        lst.RemoveRange(from, lst.Count - from);
    }
}

Answer 2

Now we have the option

void List<T>.RemoveRange(int index, int count);

See Microsoft Docs List.RemoveRange(Int32, Int32) Method for Core
