I need function in C# to removeat and function to add element to array in C# without using built in function

Question

3.00/5 (2 votes)

See more:

the function array i had created but but its repeat the function
when i add 1 to integer array the the result is 1
and when i call a function A gain for Example add number 2 output is
1
1
2

and I need function to RemoveAt but I Can't Create

What I have tried:

string[] FirstArray = new string[0];

public void Add(string item)
{

string[] NewArray = new string [FirstArray.Length+1];
int i;
for (i = 0; i < FirstArray.Length; i++)

{

NewArray[i] = FirstArray[i];

}

FirstArray = NewArray;

foreach (var x in FirstArray)
{

Console.WriteLine(x);

}

Hi Mr Richard Nice To meet You , i want to Create Function To add element to array C# Without Using built-in Function , but i have Error in logic the function work First time the Outbut is 1 but when i calling function a gain and add second number 2 The Out but is 1 1 2

If this is an assignment, you need to clarify what the assignment actually is.

An assignment to create a structure that emulates a C# Array, but provides Add/Remove functions makes no sense: if you remove an element the indexes may no longer point to the elements they were originally accessed by.

The array in C# is not a "resizable" object - to genuinely add or remove an item you need to create a new array and fill it with the required data. That's actually not an efficient thing to do, and you are much much better off using the built in List<T> class which encapsulates an array allowing Insert and Remove operations to be as efficiently as possible.

This may help: List<T> - Is it really as efficient as you probably think?[^]
It's also worth checking the reference source: Reference Source: Generic List[^]

You Are right but i need it just For deep Learning

OriginalGriff 23-Dec-21 12:37pm

Then follow the reference source - it will show you how Microsoft does it.

For Example int[] array = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 };

Solution 1

In your add method, you never actually add anything to the new array:

C#

string[] NewArray = new string [FirstArray.Length+1];
int i;
for (i = 0; i < FirstArray.Length; i++)
{
    NewArray[i] = FirstArray[i];
}
// You need to add the new item here
NewArray[i] = item;

Of Course i do that Now thanks , but i have Error in logic the function work First time the Outbut is 1 but when i calling function a gain and add second number 2 The Out but is 1 1 2 Why Mr Richard MacCutchan

Richard MacCutchan 23-Dec-21 10:41am

Because you are printing all the items in the array each time. So move the printing code somewhere else so it is only executed after you have added all the items.

Done Thanks Really Thanks Really nice to meet you

It is just the reverse of the add method. Create a NewArray that is one smaller than FirstArray. Then copy all the elements except the one that you want to remove. You can use the actual value or the position in the array to indicate which item to remove.

You have to do what I suggested in my previous comment. As others have pointed out, arrays are fixed length, so you cannot add or remove items without creating a copy of the original.

To both echo, and amplify, OriginalGriff's reply:

0) burn this into your brain:) C# Arrays are fixed length entities: you cannot add to them, or delete an element in them

1) you allocate the size of the Array when you create it

2) you can: change/replace a value of an array element

Everything you say you want to do can be handled easily by using a generic List which offers Add, Remove, Clear, etc. methods: [^]

It's a school/college assignment which specifically instructs them not to use built-ins, but to write the code themselves.

BillWoodruff 24-Dec-21 4:31am

Yes, a possible hypothesis, but, i think we don't have enough information to make that a probable hypothesis. imho, the most probable hypothesis is that the OP is confused.

I've added another comment to the OP's post.
to try and get them to clarify,

Merry Xmas :)

Richard MacCutchan 24-Dec-21 4:55am

Not a hypothesis at all, it is clearly stated in the question, and in various comments by the OP.
