Change the value in the list without changing the variable

Hello. I have a list. I want to change the last element in it. But without changing the object and / or variable. And when you change an item in the list, the variable also changes. How to do it?

     class ClassM
     {
         public int value { get; set; }
     }
    
         ClassM dimTemp;
         List<ClassM> lstData = new List<ClassM>();
    
    
 lstData.LastOrDefault().value = dimTemp.value + lstData.LastOrDefault().value;

I need the value in dimTemp not to change. And it changes.

Currently dimTemp is unassigned or null, the list is empty, and the statement does not work. Show an example that works.

I dont think you posted all the code. I suspect you added dimTemp to the list. So the last item in the list is dimTemp and updating the item in the list will make it to the variable. Add a clone of dimTemp to the list if you do not want the dimTemp variable to update.

 class ClassM:ICloneable
 {
     public int value { get; set; }
     public object Clone()
     {
         return new ClassM()
         {
             value = this.value
         };
     }
 }


         ClassM dimTemp;
         List<ClassM> lstData = new List<ClassM>();
         dimTemp = new ClassM();
         dimTemp.value = 1;
         lstData.Add((ClassM)dimTemp.Clone());
         Console.WriteLine(dimTemp.value);
         lstData.LastOrDefault().value = dimTemp.value + lstData.LastOrDefault().value;

 ClassM = dimTemp;
 List<ClassM> lstData = new List<ClassM>();
 void Start()
 {
 dimTemp = new ClassM () { value = 1 };
    
 AddMetod();
 AddMetod();
    
 ChangeMetod();
 }
    
 void AddMetod()
 {
 dimTemp = new ClassM (){value = 1};
 lstData .Add(dimTemp);
 }
 void Changemetod()
 {
    
 lstData.LastOrDefault().value = dimTemp.value + lstData.LastOrDefault().value;
    
 }

dimTemp also becomes 2. Although it should remain 1.
