Short Circuit Linq for (Count > 1) [duplicate]

Question

One of the advantages of linq.Any() is that it short Circuits once the first result is returned, so is O(1) not O(n).

If I want to check if Linq.Count() > n where n > 1, what is the optimal way to short circuit the expression, so that it doesn't significantly slow things down when Linq.Count() is close to n, but speeds things up when Linq.Count() is large.

Answer 1

I used

Linq.Skip(n).Any();

If you know that no elements are null, you could use

Linq.ElementAtOrDefault(n) != null

Although I don't know if there would be any speed advantage to this.
