C# Array Definition Guide: Best Practices

There are several points to keep in mind when defining arrays in C#.

  1. The type of an array must be specified at the time of declaration, for example: int[] numbers;
  2. The size of the array must be specified either during its definition or during subsequent initialization, for example: int[] numbers = new int[5];
  3. The size of the array must be a non-negative integer, it cannot be a negative number or a floating-point number.
  4. The array index starts from 0, and the maximum index is the length of the array minus 1.
  5. The length of an array is fixed and cannot be changed after it is defined.
  6. The elements in an array can be of any data type, including primitive types and custom types.
  7. Arrays can be initialized with initial values at the time of definition, for example: int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
  8. Elements in an array can be accessed and modified using indexes, for example: numbers[0] = 10;
  9. The length of an array can be obtained using the Length property, for example: int length = numbers.Length;
  10. Passing references of arrays as parameters in a method allows for the modification of the array’s values within the method.
