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

Also if you want compact solution with circular logic without creating new list you can use following code:

int nextNumber = list[(list.IndexOf(currentNumber) + 1) % list.Count];
int previousNumber = list[(list.IndexOf(currentNumber) - 1 + list.Count) % list.Count];
