Swapping Items in List Replaces Value Instead
Hey all. I'm trying to swap two items in a list and the values just start replacing each other versus actually switching. For example:
List<int> list = new List<int>();
list.Add(1);
list.Add(7);
list.Add(8);
list.Add(15);
int temp = list[2];
list[2] = list[3];
list[3] = temp;
Theoretically the list should print [1, 7, 15, 8] but instead it prints [1, 7, 15, 15]. I assume its because temp is referencing list[2] so when list[2] becomes 15, so does temp. Anyone know why that is, or how to step around it?
I've looked around pretty earnestly for a solution to this on the web and couldn't find one, which is surprising since this seems like a pretty basic problem. If there is an answer somewhere, a redirect would work just fine :D
If not, an answer here would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance.
I just run this
List<int> list = new List<int>();
list.Add(0);
list.Add(1);
list.Add(2);
int temp = list[1];
list[1] = list[2];
list[2] = temp;
for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++) // Loop with for.
{
Console.WriteLine(list[]);
}
And the output was 0 2 1. Could you be printing the list value before 3rd one is assigned to temp.
You're doing something else with your list apart of the code above.
I've even run it in a single run just to show you the result:
List<int> list = new List<int>();
list.Add(1);
list.Add(7);
list.Add(8);
list.Add(15);
int temp = list[2];
list[2] = list[3];
list[3] = temp;
foreach (int ila in list) Debug.Log(ila);
Result:
And that^ is an expected behavior.
Actually you're correct, I was storing it in another variable as such:
if(list[parent] >= insert){
int temp = list[parent];
list[parent] = insert;
insert = temp;
index = parent;
}else{
...
Ins$$anonymous$$d of actually changing the values of the list items. Don't know why I overlooked that.
