can we store multiple datatypes in system.array ?

yes ,we cannot store multiple data types to array .
we do this to arraylist not to array.
array store homogenous types of data i.e have samedatatype .

Array

Array is belong to System.Array namesapace.
Array store only single datatype.

Example-

string [] name= new name[2];
name[0]="Suman";
name[1]="Sonu";

The answer is yes.

Yes you can. Check this out:

object[] array = new object[2];
array[0] = new Cat();
array[1] = new Dog();

There you go, I just did it. One object of type Cat and one object of type Dog.

The answer is NO!

Actually, the answer should be NO. When you declare an array as "new object[x]", you are not "storing multiple data types", you only have objects. That those objects may be int, string, etc., is immaterial.

for Example: foreach(object obj in arrayOfObjects) { }. As you see you are working with single data type "object", which can be converted to other data types.

Can you store multiple data types in System.Array?

Ideally Yes.
If you create Array of object.Then its possible to store any datatype with it as object is the base class.

But practically, you should not do that

Store multiple data in System.array

1> ARRAY belongs to System.array
2> ARRAYList belongs to System.collection

arraylist can hold multiple types of data, but array don't.
So Answer is NO

Answer:

No, If the System.Array is of Some Particular Data Type.(Primitive Data Type)

yes, If the System.Array is of Object Type.

Ex :

create an array of objects.

int in = 50;
string st = "Fifty";

object [] obj = new object[2];
obj[0] = in;
obj[1] = st;

System.Array is not a namespace it is an abstract class

It stores nothing. There are implementations that can store multiple types and there implementations that can't.

The question is garbage.

Ans

Yes,U can bcz System.Array class contains Arraylist.
And Arraylist is the collection of multiple data type.

Multiple data types in an array

I don't think you can store different data types in an array without using an array of references.

Paul 08-9-2013 12:50 PM
