LINQ ElementAt() Method

In LINQ, ElementAt() operator is used to return the elements from the list/collection based on the specified index.

Generally, in the list, the index will start with zero, so if we want to get the first element, then there is a need to send zero (0) as an index position.

Syntax of LINQ ElementAt() Method

In the above syntax, we are getting the element at second index position element from the collection.

Example of LINQ ElementAt() Method

Here is the example of using the LINQ ElementAt() method to get the elements at specified index position.

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    class Program1
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
    //create an array named 'a' type int with assigning values
            int[] a = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
/*With the help of ElementAt() method will fetch the element from
    the specified position and store the value in 'result' and 'val' variable.*/
            int result = a.ElementAt(1);
            int val = a.ElementAt(3);
/*WriteLine function will print the value of the specified index*/
            Console.WriteLine("Element At Index 1: {0}", result);
            Console.WriteLine("Element At Index 3: {0}", val);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

    }

    }

From the above example, we are trying to get the different elements in the collection based on the different index positions.
