c# arary declare code example

Example 1: c# initialize array

string[] stringArray = new string[6];
//or
int[] array1 = new int[] { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 };
//
string[] weekDays = new string[] { "Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" };
//etc

Example 2: c# array

// ------------ How to initialize 1-dimensional Arrays? ------------ //

// 1º Method
int[] myArray = new int[];
myArray[0] = 2;
myArray[1] = 5;
myArray[2] = 9;
  

// 2º Method
int[] myArray = {2, 5, 9};


// 3º Method
int[] myArray = new int[]{2, 5, 9};


// ------------ How to initialize 2-dimensional Arrays? ------------ //

// Rectangular Array
int[,] myRetArray = { {8, 2}, {9, 4} };   // 2 rows and 2 columns
//OR
var myRetArray = new int[3, 5];   // 3 rows and 5 columns
myRetArray[0,1] = 12;


// Jagged Array
var myJagArray = new int[3][];   // 3 rows

myJagArray[0] = new int[2];  // The first row as 2 columns
myJagArray[1] = new int[6];  // The second row as 6 columns
myJagArray[2] = new int[4];  // The third row as 4 columns

// OR
var myJagArray = new int[3][];   // 3 rows

myJagArray[0] = new int[] {7, 8, 4, 6, 1};  // The first row as 5 columns
myJagArray[1] = new int[] {2, 6, 6};       // The second row as 3 columns
myJagArray[2] = new int[] {7, 12, 4, 9, 13, 10, 3};  // The third row as 7 columns

// OR
int[][] myJagArray = new int[][] 
{
    new int[] {1, 4, 3},
    new int[] {9, 2, 3},
	new int[] {2, 5, 9}
};


// -------- How to initialize 3 or more dimensional Arrays? -------- //

var myArray = new int[3, 5, 8];  // 3 rows, 5 columns and 8 cells thick


// -------------- How to creat an Array of Lists? ----------------- //
