Code inspection: Replace with LastOrDefault($args$)

This inspection reports a conditional expression that checks Any(...) before calling Last(...), and returns null when there is no match. That pattern is equivalent to LastOrDefault(...).

Example

var result = items.Any(x => x.IsValid) ? items.Last(x => x.IsValid) : null;

var result = items.LastOrDefault(x => x.IsValid);

Quick-fix

Replace the Any(...) ? Last(...) : null pattern with LastOrDefault(...).
