Arrays// Single-dimensional int[] array1 = new int[10];

// Declare and set values for a single-dimensional array int[] array2 = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };

// OR int[] array2 = { 1, 2, 3 };

// Declare a 2D array int[,] twoDimensionalArray1 = new int[2,1];

// Declare and set 2D array int[,] twoDimensionalArray2 = { { 1 }, { 2 } };

Class Program

{ static void Main()

{ int[] array = new int[10];

for(int i=0; i < array.Length; i++)

array[i] = i*i; }

}

ArrayClassSta-cMethods

•  void Clear(array, index, len) – setsarangetonull,orzero,orfalse,dependingontheelementtypeofthearray

•  int BinarySearch(array, value, comparer) –returnseithertheindexofthesearchedvalue,oranega-venumberifthevalueisnotfound

•  void ForEach(action) – performs the action on each element of the array

GenericCollec-ons

•  Workwithbuilt‐inanddeveloper‐definedtypes(thus“Generic”–alltypesyoudefineinheritfromobject)

•  Immediatebenefits:typesafety•  AredefinedintheSystem.Collec-ons.Genericnamespace

•  Providealargevariety,readyforyouruse:Lists,Dic-onaries,SortedLists,LinkedLists,SortedDic-onaries,Sets,Stacks,Queues,andmore…

List<T>

•  Unlikeanarray,aListdynamicallysizesasneeded

•  Ifyouneedsequen-alaccesstoelements,useaLinkedList<T>

•  Listssupportaddinganelementorarangeofelementsattheendofthelist(AddandAddRange)

Dic-onary<Tkey,Tvalue>

•  Usefulmethods:– ContainsKey,– ContainsValue,– Remove(removesthevalueassociatedwiththepassedkey)

– Clear– Add(willthrowanexcep-onifkeyalreadyexistsmustcheckifthedictcontainsthekeyyoutrytoadd)

– TryGetValue(getsthevalueassociatedwiththekeyyou’repassingtoit)

–  Regexexpression=newRegex(pa\ern);–  expression.IsMatch(stringYouWishToMatch);

OR– MatchCollec-onlist=expression.Matches(stringYouWishToMatch);
