If you invoke this method from within Main(), you will get the output shown in Figure 4-7.

The System.Array class provides functionality to all .NET arrays.

Notice that many members of System.Array are defined as static members and are therefore

called at the class level (for example, the Array.Sort() or Array.Reverse() methods). Methods such

as these are passed in the array you wish to process. Other methods of System.Array (such as the

GetUpperBound() method or Length property) are bound at the object level, and thus you are able to

invoke the member directly on the array.
