The MethodOverloading application is located under the Chapter 4 subdirectory.

That wraps up our initial examination of building methods using the syntax of C#. Next up, let’s

check out how to build and manipulate arrays, enumerations, and structures.

Array Manipulation in C#

As I would guess you are already aware, an array is a set of data items, accessed using a numerical

index. More specifically, an array is a set of contiguous data points of the same type (an array of

ints, an array of strings, an array of SportsCars, and so on). Declaring an array with C# is quite

straightforward. To illustrate, create a new Console Application project (named FunWithArrays) that

contains a helper method named SimpleArrays(), invoked from within Main():
