Arrays: An Array Is A Data Structure That Contains Several Variables of The Same Type. User Defined Reference Type

An array is a data structure that can hold multiple variables of the same type. Arrays can be single or multi-dimensional. To create an array, you declare it with a type and size, allocate memory for it using the new keyword, and then assign values to elements using indexes. Arrays store their first element address in the stack but the array elements themselves are stored in the heap. Common array operations include initialization, iteration with foreach loops, sorting, and accessing properties like Length. Jagged arrays are arrays whose elements are other arrays of varying sizes.

Arrays

An array is a data structure that contains several variables of the same type. User defined reference type.

Types of arrays
1. Single Dimension 2. Multi Dimension

Creating an Array
Declaring an array Creating memory locations Putting values into memory locations

Note- The address of first index of array is stored in stack but the array is stored in heap.

Declaration of arrays
type [] arrayName Ex- int [] count; float [] marks; double [] x,y;

Creation of Arrays
arrayName =new type[size]; Ex- count=new int[5]; marks=new float[10];

Initialization
arrayName[index]= value; Ex- marks[0]=98; marks[1]=45; . . . marks[9]=60;

Other ways of array declaration


Int [] number={1,2,3,4,5}; Int[] number=new int[5]{1,2,3,4,5};

foreach loop
Read only, forward only loop Syntaxforeach(type identifier in expression) { //code here } Ex-foreach (string str in array2) { Console.WriteLine(str); }

Properties and Methods


Properties Length Rank Methods GetUpperBound() GetLowerBound()

Sorting and params keyword


Sorting Array.Sort(arrayName); params keyword It is a keyword used for creating as a parameter in our methods

Params keyword
static int add(params int[] array) { int total = 0; foreach (int i in array) { total += i; } return total;

Multi dimension Array


Arrays with more than one dimension. Syntaxint[,] array=new int[No of rows,No of cols]; Ex-int[,]arr=new int[,]{{1,2},{3,4}}; //OK int [,]array={{1,2},{3,4}}; //Ok int [, ] ar; ar ={{1,2},{3,4}}; //Error

Methods and Properties


Properties Length Rank Methods Sort Clear GetLength GetValue SetValue CreateInstance

Jagged Arrays
Array whose elements are arrays. Syntaxint[][] jaggedArray=new int[3][]; jaggedArray[0]=new int[4]; jaggedArray[1]=new int[5]; jaggedArray[2]=new int[6];

Example of jagged Array


int[][] jaggedArray = new int[3][]; jaggedArray[0] = new int[4]{1,2,3,4}; jaggedArray[1] = new int[5]; jaggedArray[1][0] = 33; jaggedArray[2] =new int[] {1,2,3,4,5,5}; foreach (int []item in jaggedArray) { foreach (int x in item) { Console.Write(x+" "); } Console.WriteLine( ); }
