C# has a concept of boolean values: true and false, C and C++ don't.

Why not just use Max with SecondsDiff?

var max = input.OrderByDescending(s=> s.SecondsDiff).Max();

TheQFromDB GetItem = input.Max(ele=> ele.SecondsDiff);

So, why do you try to loop through... one element?

TheQFromDB GetItem = input.First();
foreach (var item in input)
