What is the difference between Find() and FindAll() in List<T>?
Short answer: Method Returns Find() First match FindAll () All matches in a new list Example: var firstEven = list.Find(x => x % 2 == 0); var allEvens = list.FindAll(x => x % 2 == 0);
Example code
Method Returns Find() First match FindAll () All matches in a new list Example: var firstEven = list.Find(x => x % 2 == 0);
var allEvens = list.FindAll(x => x % 2 == 0);
Real-world example (ShopNest)
In ShopNest, an order page loads products with List<Product> so you can Add items to the cart and access them by index. Use IEnumerable<T> when you only need to loop (for example, printing invoice lines).
Say this in the interview

- Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
- Trade-off — when you would not use it.
