C# Array Class

Example

using System;
class Array_Rank {
public static void Main()
{
int[] arr;
arr = new int[] {50, 10, 40, 90, 80, 20};
Console.WriteLine("Length of the array: {0}", arr.Length);
foreach(int i in arr)
Console.WriteLine(i + " ");
}
}

In the above example, we are using the length property of the Array Class to print out the size of the array.

using System;
class Array_Rank {
public static void Main()
{
int[] arr;
arr = new int[] {50, 10, 40, 90, 80, 20};
Console.WriteLine("Rank of the array: {0}", arr.Rank);
foreach(int i in arr)
Console.WriteLine(i + " ");
}
}

In the above example, we have used the rank method to print the rank of the Array. The rank for a one-dimensional array is one and for a two-dimensional array is two.

using System;
class Array_Rank {
public static void Main()
{
int[] arr;
arr = new int[] {50, 10, 40, 90, 80, 20};
Console.WriteLine("Array before reverse");
foreach(int i in arr)
Console.WriteLine(i + " ");
Console.WriteLine();
Array.Reverse(arr);
Console.WriteLine("Array after reverse");
foreach(int i in arr)
Console.WriteLine(i + " ");
}
}

In the above example, we are using the Array.Reverse method to reverse all the elements in the array.

using System;
class Array_Rank {
public static void Main()
{
int[] arr;
arr = new int[] {50, 10, 40, 90, 80, 20};
Console.WriteLine("Array before sorting");
foreach(int i in arr)
Console.WriteLine(i + " ");
Console.WriteLine();
Array.Sort(arr);
Console.WriteLine("Array after sorting");
foreach(int i in arr)
Console.WriteLine(i + " ");
}
}

In the above example, we are using the Array.Sort method to sort all the elements in the array in ascending order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is C#?

What is the syntax to create an array in C#?

Arrays can be created using the following syntax in the C and C++ programming languages,

data_type[][] name_of_array = new data_type[rows][]

What is the Array Class in C#?

The Array Class in C# is used to manipulate data present in an array. Developers can reverse, sort, clone, empty, and perform many more functions on an array using the Array Class.

What are the applications of C#?
