how to use array c# code example

Example 1: array syntax c#

class TestArraysClass
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Declare a single-dimensional array of 5 integers.
        int[] array1 = new int[5];

        // Declare and set array element values.
        int[] array2 = new int[] { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 };

        // Alternative syntax.
        int[] array3 = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };

        // Declare a two dimensional array.
        int[,] multiDimensionalArray1 = new int[2, 3];

        // Declare and set array element values.
        int[,] multiDimensionalArray2 = { { 1, 2, 3 }, { 4, 5, 6 } };

        // Declare a jagged array.
        int[][] jaggedArray = new int[6][];

        // Set the values of the first array in the jagged array structure.
        jaggedArray[0] = new int[4] { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
    }
}

Example 2: how to make a c# array

// Syntax: 
datatype_variable[dimension] = new datatype[size]{array};

// For example:
string MyArray[] = new string[1]{"Hello","World"};

// or just:
string MyArray[]={"Hello","world"};

// for multidimensions:
// 2D array:
         	  // 2 arrays, 3 values //
int MyArray=[,]=new int[1,2]{
  {1,2,3},
  {1,2,3}
}

// 3D array:
              // 2 arrays, 3 arrays, 4 values //
int MyArray=[,,]=new int[1,2,3]{
  {
    {1,2,3,4},
    {1,2,3,4},
    {1,2,3,4}
  },
  {
    {1,2,3,4},
    {1,2,3,4},
    {1,2,3,4}
  }
}
