Edit Question
Title
Body
I understand this is somewhat trivial but... What the best way to get the reference the first item of a collection if any exist? Assume the collection contains items of a reference-type. Code Sample 1: if (collection.Any()) { var firstItem = collection.First(); // add logic here } The above sample has two separate calls on the collection starting an iteration which complete as soon as the first is detected. Code Sample 2: var firstItem = collection.FirstOrDefault(); if (firstItem != null) { // add logic here } The above sample only has a single call on the collection but introduces a variable that is unnecessarily in a wider scope. Is there a best-practices related to this scenario? Is there a better solution?
