Introduction

In this article I will describe how to swap the values of two arrays. Previously, I have always swapped the values of variables. But now I have decided, why not interchange the values of two arrays. So in this article we are doing something different.

Use the following procedure to create it.

Step 1

First of all you must create a new Windows Store Application.

Step 2

Write the following XAML code in "Mainpage.Xaml" (that is available in Solution Explorer):

<Page

x:Class="swap_array_app.MainPage"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:local="using:swap_array_app"

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

mc:Ignorable="d">

<Grid Background="Red">

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="275*"/>

<ColumnDefinition Width="321*"/>

<ColumnDefinition Width="770*"/>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="60*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="41*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="42*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="56*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="44*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="45*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="43*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="50*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="56*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="331*"/>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<TextBlock Text="First array before swapping " Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="White" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Width="258"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock x:Name="text1" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" Width="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="White" FontSize="20"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock Text="Second array before swapping " Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="3" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="White" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Width="285"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock x:Name="text2" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="4" Width="285" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="White" FontSize="20"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock Text="First array After swapping " Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="White" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Width="258" Visibility="Collapsed" Name="hidetextblock1"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock x:Name="text3" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="6" Width="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="White" FontSize="20"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock Text="Second array After swapping " Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="7" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="White" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Width="285" Visibility="Collapsed" Name="hidetextblock2" ></TextBlock>

<TextBlock x:Name="text4" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="8" Width="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="White" FontSize="20"></TextBlock>

<Button x:Name="button1" Content="Show array After swapping" Background="Yellow" Foreground="Black" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="4" Click="button1_Click"></Button>

</Grid>

</Page>

Step 3

Now write the following C# code for the button within "Mainpage.Xaml.cs".

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.IO;

using System.Linq;

using Windows.Foundation;

using Windows.Foundation.Collections;

using Windows.UI.Xaml;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Data;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Input;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;

namespace swap_array_app

{

public sealed partial class MainPage : Page

{

public MainPage()

{

this.InitializeComponent();

}

protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)

{

showarray();

}

int i,j;

int[] arr1 = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };

int[] arr2 = { 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 };

int[] arr3 = new int[5];

public void showarray()

{

for (i = 0; i < arr1.Length; i++)

{

text1.Text += arr1[i] + " ";

}

for (j = 0; j < arr2.Length; j++)

{

text2.Text += arr2[j] + " ";

}

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

swaparry();

this.hidetextblock1.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

this.hidetextblock2.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

}

public void swaparry()

{

for (i = 0; i < arr1.Length; i++)

{

arr3[i] = arr1[i];

arr1[i] = arr2[i];

arr2[i] = arr3[i];

}

for (i = 0; i < arr1.Length; i++)

{

text3.Text += arr1[i] + " ";

}

for (j = 0; j < arr2.Length; j++)

{

text4.Text += arr2[j] + " ";

}

}

}

}

Step 4

Run your app.
