Maybe this question has been addressed before, but I just stumbled with the
issue so I'll post it here.
Since I can remember array declaration in any language I've
worked(Basic/VB/VB.NET/C/C++) was:
(Example in Basic-way)
Dim Arr('UpperBound ') as Type
Ex. Dim Arr(0) as String gives you a String Array with 1 element
But in C# string arr[0] gives you 0 elements, meaning the syntax is now
Type Arr('Count');
I'll like to know who though it would be a wonderful thing to break the
natural flow of thought by doing this in C# while all the remaining .NET
languages (with the possible exception of J# which I haven't tried) use the
UpperBound declaration type.
To me declare an array using count just seems counter-intuitive, maybe it's
just me.
Would like to hear your comments, for me this is an issue which should be
corrected.

So declaring the number of elements you require is counter-intuitive?

Wrong.
C/C++/Java use the number of elements.

Dim Arr('UpperBound ') as Type

I think so.

No way.
The only language that declares arrays the way you state is VB. So,
what you're really asking is why don't all of the other languages in
..NET change to conform to the way VB does things.
So, yes: I think it's just you. :)

When this should be corrected it should in my opinion be in VB.
It is in my opinion crazy that
dim a(1) as string gives an array of 2 strings and that while that is the
only place it is done like that.
The problem is probably in the indexing. In VB is tried to start the
indexing in the more for people logical One, in the same way as we learn to
count.
In the C derived languages is not made direct the conversion from the
register Zero to the Human One, that legacy will probably never be solved.
(By the way I find One more logical however would be a while in big problems
when that would be done, because I am as well very much used to that
counting from Zero and than every time to subtract 1).
Just my thought,
Cor

I have a one-dimesional array of potentially thousands of items, each of

A nested loop would answer this problem - and does for the time being.

Are there any differences between using Array.Length and

We have a team of developers and most people use Array.Length but one

I read that Array.Length has special meaning to the...

Hello,
I have an array of strings and need to find the matching one with the
fastest possible code. I decided to order the array and then write a binary

What I came up with is the following. I noticed that if I set:
int upper = strings.GetUpperBound(0);
I never match the last element in the array (i.e. "iii")

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
