C# How to make an array in C#

[Deleted member 613]

string[] Superpowers = { "water", "earth", "fire", "wind", "ice" };

To do this, type string with square brackets, the name of the array, an equals sign, curly brackets, and then inside put the info seperated with commas.

To print this do:

Console.WriteLine(Superpowers);

This is a 2D array

I'd just like to correct you but, you got that one wrong. What you have shown others is a single-dimensional array. A multi-dimensional array(Two-Dimensional, three-dimensional, etc.), would be like this:

int array[20][2] = {
                                {...},
                                {...}
                           };

That's a multi-dimensional array(Two-Dimensional in this instance)

Regarding this: Console.WriteLine(Superpowers);

Never have I seen that done in any language before and I know this as I have worked with more than just one language. C, Java, Lua, Python, they all require you to use a for-loop if you want to print out the elements of an array. As seen here:

int Array[20];

for(int I = 0; I <= 20; I++)
     // Note: Because there hasn't been any values initialized in the array itself, the program will simply print garbage values.
     printf("%d\n", Array[I]);

The same would in fact, be required for C#(Of course, you'd use the syntax for C#. My example was done in C, which was where C# descended from).

I would like to suggest one thing and it's that before you go around writing tutorials, actually make sure you are proficient in the language. That includes it's syntax, it's built-in standard library functions, the rules, etc. Because if you're actually proficient in the language, you won't be spreading around code that doesn't even work to beginners.
