Chapter 10. Arrays

Most of the examples in previous chapters have dealt with one object at a time. In many applications, however, you want to work with a collection of objects all at the same time. The simplest collection in C# is the array, the only collection type for which C# provides built-in support. The other collection types, such as stack and queue, are not part of the language; they are part of the Framework Class Library. The collection classes are covered in detail in Chapter 14. In this chapter, you will learn to work with three types of arrays : one-dimensional arrays, multidimensional rectangular arrays, and jagged arrays.
