Arrays and Collection Classes Collection Classes

The document discusses module 9 which covers collection classes as alternatives to arrays. It notes that unlike arrays, collection classes do not require defining a size upon creation and can hold elements of any data type. The key advantages are that collection classes allow dynamically sized collections while arrays have a fixed size. Some common collection classes in C# are Lists, which allow accessing elements using an index like arrays.

Module 9

Arrays and Collection Classes



Lecture
Collection Classes

Module 9 Learning Objectives

Last time, we discussed arrays as a way to store
multiple elements for ease of use
Arrays are available in almost every modern
programming language, but we need to know
exactly how many elements we need in the array
when we create the array object
In this lecture, were going to look at collection
classes, which dont have that limitation
In-Lecture Quiz

Collection classes hold collections of

A: elements
B: coins

C: dolls
D: no matter what, this is NOT the answer


What can we store in
collection classes?
Anything! But
A particular
collection can only
store a single data
type
Where can we find
the collection
classes C# provides?

In-Lecture Quiz

Unlike with arrays, when we create a collection object
we dont need to know

A: the size
B: the weight

C: the mass
D: your enemy
In-Lecture Quiz

We access individual elements of a List using

A: the list name and an index
B: the list name and a chainsaw
C: the list name and an array name
D: Am I on a list?

Recap
We discussed how we can use collection classes
instead of arrays when the size of our collection is
likely to change
End of Module 9
Next Time
Well look at the last control structure we need to
implement our problem solutions
