What is the difference between array in c and c sharp language?

Answer 1

The syntax to access a particular element in an array are the same in both languages:

For example:

assume array is an array of 10 int(egers):

to get the first element: array[0] (both are 0 based indexing]

int i = 0;

while (i < array.Length) {

// do something to array[i]

}

int i = 0;

int length = sizeof(array) / sizeof(int);

while (i < length) {

// do something to array[i]

}

However, an array in C# is also enumerable (C does not have this feature)

in C#, you may loop thru the array by:

foreach (int number in array) {

// do something to array[i]

}

Plus, C# is an Object-Oriented Language, so that an array may be of some object types, not just those primitiives data types in C:

object[] objectArray; // any object derived from Object may be placed into objectArray, not just struct.

In another variation, an array may be of Delegate type in C#(sort of like function pointers in C)
