C# List: Dynamic Arrays Explained

In C#, List is a dynamic array that can store multiple elements and can expand in size dynamically. It is a generic collection class that can store elements of a specific type (such as integers, strings, etc.).

To use the List class, the System.Collections.Generic namespace needs to be imported in the code. The List class offers various methods and properties to manipulate elements in a collection, such as adding elements, deleting elements, and searching for elements.

Below are some common methods and properties of the List class:

  1. Add an element to the List.
  2. Remove the specified element from the List.
  3. Count: Obtain the number of elements in the List.
  4. Clear(): Remove all elements from the List.
  5. Contains(T item): Check if the List contains the specified element.
  6. IndexOf(T item): Retrieve the index position of the specified element in the List.

Using List makes it convenient to manage and manipulate data in a collection, and is one of the commonly used data structures in C#.
