array contains c# code example

Example 1: c# arraylist contains

IList arList = new ArrayList();
arList.Add(100);
arList.Add("Hello World");
arList.Add(300);

Console.WriteLine(arList.Contains(100)); // true

Example 2: c# check if string is in array

using System;

namespace Example
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string[] planets = { "Mercury", "Venus",
                "Earth", "Mars", "Jupiter",
                "Saturn", "Uranus", "Neptune" };
          
          	if (planets.Contains("Jupiter"))
            {
              Console.WriteLine("It contains Jupiter");
            }

            Console.WriteLine("One or more planets begin with 'M': {0}",
                Array.Exists(planets, element => element.StartsWith("M")));

            Console.WriteLine("One or more planets begin with 'T': {0}",
                Array.Exists(planets, element => element.StartsWith("T")));

            Console.WriteLine("Is Pluto one of the planets? {0}",
                Array.Exists(planets, element => element == "Pluto"));
        }
    }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       One or more planets begin with 'M': True
//       One or more planets begin with 'T': False
//       Is Pluto one of the planets? False

Example 3: how to know if an element is in an array c#

string[] names = "John", "Susan", "Sophie";
if (names.Contains("John") //Using Contains you can know if a specific value is on an array
    {
    Console.WriteLine("John is a name");
    }

Example 4: c# string array contains

string[] array = { "cat", "dog", "perl" };

// Use Array.Exists in different ways.
bool a = Array.Exists(array, element => element == "perl");
bool c = Array.Exists(array, element => element.StartsWith("d"));
bool d = Array.Exists(array, element => element.StartsWith("x"));

Example 5: c# check if array contains value

public static bool Contains(Array a, object val)
    {
        return Array.IndexOf(a, val) != -1;
    }
