Arrays and string manipulations

Arrays and strings are important in C# programming. There may be chances when you need string manipulation or play with complex data using arrays. In this section, we will discuss arrays and strings.

Arrays

An array is nothing but a data structure that stores fixed-size sequential elements of the same type. Elements of an array that contained data are basically variables, and we can also call an array a collection of variables of the same type, and this type is generally called an element type.

Note

An array is a block of contiguous memory. This block stores everything required for an array, that is, elements, element rank, and length of the array. The first element rank is 0 and the last element rank is equal to the total length of array - 1.

Let's consider the char[] vowels = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'}; array. An array with size five. Every element is stored in a sequential manner and can be accessed using its element rank. The following is the diagram showing...
