Question

Please give proper definition of array.

Ayappan Alagesan · Answer

Array is an index based collection,which hold the data of same datatype. An array is used to store a collection of data, but it is often more useful to think of an array as a collection of variables of the same type stored at contiguous memory locations.array index starts from 0. Eg: double [] balance = new double [ 10 ]; balance is array name [10] is size of array. double is datatype.

Nilesh Shah · Answer

An array is a collection of multiple values. Using array you can store more than one value of same data type in a single variable. An array can be single dimentional or multi-dimentional

Amit Kumar · Answer

hi, Array is a collection of similar data types into single unit. In other words Arrays are using for store similar data types grouping as a single unit. We can access Array elements by its numeric index. The array indexes start at zero. The default value of numeric array elements are set to zero, and reference elements are set to null .

Hi Nandini, An array stores a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same type. An array is used to store a collection of data, but it is often more useful to think of an array as a collection of variables of the same type stored at contiguous memory locations.

An array stores a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same type. An array is used to store a collection of data, but it is often more useful to think of an array as a collection of variables of the same type stored at contiguous memory locations. Declaring Arrays C# supports single-dimensional arrays, multidimensional arrays (rectangular arrays), and array-of-arrays (jagged arrays). The following examples show how to declare different kinds of arrays: Single-dimensional arrays: int[] numbers; Multidimensional arrays: string[,] names; Array-of-arrays (jagged): byte[][] scores;

An array stores a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same data type. Declaring Arrays: [] Example: int[] numbers; Initializing an Array: int[] numbers = new numbers[10]; Create and Initialize an Array: int [] marks = new int[5] { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50}; // With Size int [] marks = new int[] { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50}; // Without Size C# supports multidimensional arrays, which are arrays of arrays called Jagged arrays. Examples: int[][] scores = new int[2][]; int[][] scores = new int[2][]{new int[]{92,93,94},new int[]{85,66,87,88}};

In simple terminology, array means collection in any sort of tech stack. In the real-world scenario, a group of children is called a collection...

Mageshwaran R · Answer

An array is a collection of data items, all of the same type, accessed using a common name. A one-dimensional array is like a list; A two dimensional array is like a table; The C language places no limits on the number of dimensions in an array, though specific implementations may.

Kapil Gaur · Answer

All contributors have really explained your answer Nandini. I just would like to add few more points over here that arrays have fixed size because of this they give better performance. So If size of your collection is not fixed you must use List. Else array is best choice. Sometimes people have generic list then they convert it to array before processing. For that you can easily use list.ToArray();

Jignesh Kumar · Answer

Hi Nandini, Array is basically colletion of same data type valuse. Its very good explanation and easy to understand at below website. You can reafer this site for C# learning as well. http://www.tutorialsteacher.com/csharp/array-csharp // Example of Integer Array int [] intArray = new int [5]{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; // Example of String Array string [] stringArray = new string [5]{ "One" , "Two" , "Three" , "Four" , "Five" }; Thanks.
