Florin Olariu: "Alexandru Ioan Cuza", University of Iași Department of Computer Science

This document provides an introduction to .NET and covers several key topics: - It discusses object-oriented programming concepts in .NET like inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. - Arrays are defined as fixed-size lists that can be accessed using indexes. Methods for declaring, populating, and iterating arrays are presented. - Generic lists are introduced as strongly typed and expandable alternatives to arrays. The differences between lists and arrays are explained. - Examples are provided for declaring and populating generic lists using initializers. - Frequently asked questions about when to use lists versus arrays and their performance differences are addressed. - Upcoming topics like generic dictionaries, collection interfaces, and LINQ are

Do Avoid
Use arrays when the size is known at Do not use arrays when the data
the design time comes from a database call
For an array name use ‘pluralization’
