Get previous/next item of a given item in a List<>

Question

Says I have this List : 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13

For example, given value is : 9, the previous item is 7 and the next item is 13

How can I achieve this using C#?

Answer 1

var index = list.IndexOf(9);
if (index == -1) 
{
   return; // or exception - whater, no element found.
}

int? nextItem = null; //null means that there is no next element.
if (index < list.Count - 1) 
{
   nextItem = list[index + 1];
}

int? prevItem = null;
if (index > 0) 
{
   prevItem = list[index - 1];
}
