Summary
In this chapter, you’ve seen the C# notation
to create and use simple, multidimensional and jagged arrays. The
Array class is used behind the scenes of
C# arrays, and this way you can invoke properties and methods of
this class with array variables.
You’ve seen how to sort elements in the array by
using the IComparable and IComparer interfaces. The features of the
IEnumerable, ICollection, and IList
interface as implemented with the Array class was described, and
finally you’ve seen the advantages of the yield statement that is new with C# 2.0.
For more information about arrays and related
topics, you can read these chapters: Chapter 6 focuses on
operators and casts where you can read about creating a custom
indexer. Chapter 7 gives you information about delegates
and events. Some methods of the Array
class use delegates as parameters. Chapter 10 is about
collection classes that already have been mentioned in this
chapter. Collection classes give you more flexibility of the size,
and there you can also read about other containers such as
dictionaries and linked lists.
