 Arrays

4 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071

 Arrays

string[] str = new string[]{"One","Two","Three"};

string[] str = {"One", "Two", "Three"};

int[] intArray = new int[4]{20, 22, 23, 0};

int[] dblArray = {10.01,20.02,30.03,40.04,50.05};

5 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071

 Arrays

static void Main(string[] args)

{
const int SIZE = 10;
int [] myArrays = new int[SIZE];

for(int i=0; i<SIZE; i++)

{
Console.Write("Element:\t{0}", i);
}
}

6 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071

 Multidimensional Arrays

 C# supports two varieties of multidimensional

arrays
‒ Rectangular arrays
‒ Jagged arrays

 Rectangular arrays are simply arrays of

multiple dimensions, where each row is of the
same length

7 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071

 Rectangular Arrays

int[,] rectangularArrays = new int[2,2];

int[ , ] recatngularArray = {{1,2}, {3,4}};

Column 0 Column 1 Column 2 Column 3

Row 0 array[0,0] array[0,1] array[0,2] array[0,3]
Row 1 array[1,0] array[1,1] array[1,2] array[1,3]
Row 2 array[2,0] array[2,1] array[2,2] array[2,3]

8 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071

 Rectangular Arrays
int[,] arr = new int[3,3];

// Outer loop for rows

for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
{
// Inner loop for columns
for(int j=0; j<3; j++)
{
Console.Write("Enter Element");
arr[i,j]= int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
}
}

9 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071

 Rectangular Arrays
Console.WriteLine("------------------");

for(int i=0; i<3; i++)

{
for(int j=0; j<3; j++)
{
Console.Write(arr[i,j], "\t");
}
Console.WriteLine();
}

Console.WriteLine("------------------");

 Jagged Arrays

 Jagged arrays contain some number of inner

arrays, each of which may have a different
upper limit
 A jagged array is maintained as a one-
dimensional array in which each element
refers to a one-dimensional array
 The manner in which jagged arrays are
represented makes them quite flexible,
because the lengths of the rows in the array
need not be the same
12 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071
 Jagged Arrays

int[][] jagged = { new int[] {1, 2},

new int[] {3},
new int[] {4, 5, 6}
};

13 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071

 Jagged Arrays
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int[][] jagged = new int[3][]; int i;
jagged[0] = new int[4];
jagged[1] = new int[3];
jagged[2] = new int[5];

// Store values in first array

for(i=0; i<4; i++) { jagged[0][i] = i; }
// Store values in second array
for(i=0; i<3; i++) { jagged[1][i] = i; }
// Store values in third array
for(i=0; i<5; i++) { jagged[2][i] = i; }

14 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071

 Jagged Arrays

// Display values in first array

for(i=0; i<4; i++)
Console.Write(jagged[0][i] + "\t");

// Display values in second array

for(i=0; i<3; i++)
Console.Write(jagged[1][i] + "\t");

// Display values in third array

for(i=0; i<5; i++)
Console.Write(jagged[2][i] + "\t");
}

 Arrays as Arguments & Return Values

static void Display(int[] array)

{
for(int i=0; i<array.Length; i++)
Console.WriteLine("{0}", array[i]);
}

static string[] GetStrings()

{
string[] str = { "CS", "NTU", "FSD" };
return str;
}

17 Object Oriented Programming – CSC2071

 Arrays as Arguments or Return Values
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Pass array as parameter
int[] ages = {20, 24, 23, 22} ;
Display(ages);

// Get array as return value

string[] strs = GetStrings();
foreach(string str in strs)
{
Console.WriteLine(str);
}
}

 The System.Array Base Class
Members Meaning
Clear() This static method sets a range of elements in the array
to empty values (0 for numbers, null for object references,
false for Booleans)
CopyTo() This method is used to copy elements from the source
array into the destination array
Length This property returns the number of items within the array
Rank This property returns the number of dimensions of the
current array
Reverse() This static method reverses the contents of a one-
dimensional array
Sort() This static method sorts a one-dimensional array of
intrinsic types
