help translating pseudocode into C#

I've recently begun working with unity C# and I've been having a lot of trouble overcoming a seemingly simple task. I am basically writing a simple script that asks a parent for a list of it's children, and then loops through the children comparing their names to a master list that I have created.

I'm struggling with getting this to function and the only thing I can think to do is to give you guys some psuedo code and see if anyone can help me create a functioning script.

 

If simple things like loop constructs and arrays/lists are stumping you I'd suggest you invest in a C# book or find some a good online course or set of tutorials that teaches from basic command structures and primitive types though to collections. It'll save you a lot of time in the long run.

 

a bunch of parentheses could be removed, but for completeness i kept them all.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. int count = 0;
3. List<Transform> failedObj = new List<Transform>();
4.  
5. foreach(Transform childTransform in transform)
6. {
7.   bool hasMatched = false;
8.  
9.   foreach(Transform obj in MasterList)
10.   {
11.     if (childTransform == obj)
12.     {
13.       hasMatch = true;
14.       break;
15.     }
16.   }
17.  
18.   if(hasMatch)
19.   {
20.     failedObj.Add(childTransform);
21.   }
22.  
23.   count++;
24. }
25.  

 

I agree entirely with what you're suggesting. That is what I am doing and plan on continuing to do, however my current project is time sensitive and i'm having to work in an area I am not comfortable with yet.

 

thank you Landern, this gives me a great place to start. I appreciate your time.
