How do I get the n-th element in a LinkedList?

Question

How can I get the n-th element of a LinkedList instance? Is there a built-in way or I might need to introduce my own implementation? For example an extension method?

Answer 1

You can do it with LINQ as in list.ElementAt(n) or list.Skip(n - 1).First() , but if you find yourself making indexed access into a linked list you are probably doing something wrong (linked lists do not efficiently support this operation). Perhaps another data structure would be more appropriate?
