Algorithms.FirstConsecutiveEqual(T) Method (IList(T), Int32, BinaryPredicate(T))

AlgorithmsFirstConsecutiveEqualT Method (IListT, Int32, BinaryPredicateT)

Finds the first occurence of count consecutive "equal" items in the list. The passed BinaryPredicate is used to determine if two items are "equal".

Syntax

public static int FirstConsecutiveEqual<T>(
	IList<T> list,
	int count,
	BinaryPredicate<T> predicate
)

public:
generic<typename T>
static int FirstConsecutiveEqual(
	IList<T>^ list, 
	int count, 
	BinaryPredicate<T>^ predicate
)

list: Type: System.Collections.GenericIListT
The list to examine.
count: Type: SystemInt32
The number of consecutive equal items to look for. The count must be at least 1.
predicate: Type: X3Platform.CollectionsBinaryPredicateT
The BinaryPredicate used to compare items for "equality".

T: [Missing <typeparam name="T"/> documentation for "M:X3Platform.Collections.Algorithms.FirstConsecutiveEqual``1(System.Collections.Generic.IList{``0},System.Int32,X3Platform.Collections.BinaryPredicate{``0})"]

Type: Int32
The index of the first item in the first run of count consecutive equal items, or -1 if no such run exists.

Remarks

Since an arbitrary BinaryPredicate is passed to this function, what is being tested for need not be true equality.
