how to access the next item in the list in lambda expressions

I am creating a simple query (if this is even the term of using LINQ) that takes each number in the list, added is to the index, and then from the new list I want to divide the value with the highest index with the value that has the highest index - 1 and then do that same action on all the indexes in the pairs (index val, index val-1) so the result will be a list half a size of the original list, and then pick the highest result from the new list.

 var lst = new List<int>() { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };

   var fianle = lst
               .Select((value, i) => new { i, value })
               .Select(item =>
          item.value + item.i)
             .Select((x , how to accse the previos item? ) => x/previositem)
            .Max(x => x);

so i want to know

  1. how to loop backward using lambda expressions
  2. how to access the previous item in the list using lambda expressions

thank you in advance!

You can have a property in your anonymous object to hold previous one:

var listWithPrevious = lst
               .Select((value, i) => 
                          new { 
                                Index = i,
                                Value = value,
                                Previous = lst.ElementAtOrDefault(i + 1) 
                              });

and then use the collection above to do what ever is required.

You can modify your code to be like:

var fianle = lst
           .Select((value, i) => 
                         new { 
                                Index = i,
                                Value = value,
                                Previous = lst.ElementAtOrDefault(i + 1) 
                              })
           .Select(item =>
      item.value + item.i)
         .Select((x , Previous ) => x/Previous)
        .Max(x => x);
