C# | Check if the BitArray is read-only

• The BitArray class is a collection class in which the capacity is always the same as the count.
• Elements are added to a BitArray by increasing the Length property.
• Elements are deleted by decreasing the Length property.
• Elements in this collection can be accessed using an integer index. Indexes in this collection are zero-based.

public bool IsReadOnly { get; }

// C# code to check if the
// BitArray is read-only
using System;
using System.Collections;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Creating a BitArray
        BitArray myBitArr = new BitArray(new byte[] { 0, 0, 0, 1 });

        // Checking if the BitArray is read-only
        Console.WriteLine(myBitArr.IsReadOnly);
    }
}

False

• A collection that is read-only does not allow the addition, removal, or modification of elements after the collection is created.
• This method is an O(1) operation.
• A collection that is read-only is simply a collection with a wrapper that prevents modifying the collection. Therefore, if changes are made to the underlying collection, the read-only collection reflects those changes.
