Set two arrays that you wish to merge −int[] arr1 = new int[5] {    5,    15,    25,    30,    47 }; int[] arr2 = new int[5] {    55,    60,    76,    83,    95 };Now take a third array that would merge both the above arrays −int[] merged = new int[10];The following is the code that merges two arrays into the third array in C# −Example Live Demousing System; using System.Collections.Generic; class Program {    static void Main() {       int i = 0;       int j = 0; ...

To get the difference between two lists, firstly set two lists in C# −// first list List < string > list1 = new List < string > (); list1.Add("A"); list1.Add("B"); list1.Add("C"); list1.Add("D"); // second list List < string > list2 = new List < string > (); list2.Add("C"); list2.Add("D"); foreach(string value in list2) {    Console.WriteLine(value); }To get the difference, use IEnumerable and Except() as shown below. The difference is shown in the third list −IEnumerable < string > list3; list3 = list1.Except(list2);The following is the complete code −Example Live Demousing System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; public class Demo ...

Use the DateTime.TryParseExact method in C# for Date Format validation.They method converts the specified string representation of a date and time to its DateTime equivalent. It checks whether the entered date format is correct or not.Example Live Demousing System; using System.Globalization; namespace Demo {    class Program {       static void Main(string[] args) {          DateTime d;          bool chValidity = DateTime.TryParseExact(          "08/14/2018",          "MM/dd/yyyy",          CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,          DateTimeStyles.None,          out d);          Console.WriteLine(chValidity);       }    } }OutputTrue

Java has SortedMap Interface, whereas an equivalent of it in C# is SortedList.SortedList collection in C# use a key as well as an index to access the items in a list.A sorted list is a combination of an array and a hash table. It contains a list of items that can be accessed using a key or an index. If you access items using an index, it is an ArrayList, and if you access items using a key, it is a Hashtable. The collection of items is always sorted by the key value.Let us see an example to work with ... Read More

Firstly, set a string array −string[] arr = new string[] {    "Indian",    "Moroccon",    "American", };To sort the words in lexicographical order −var sort = from a in arr orderby a select a;Example Live DemoLet us see the complete code −using System; using System.Linq; class Program {    static void Main() {       string[] arr = new string[] {          "Indian",          "Moroccon",          "American",       };       var sort = from a in arr       orderby a       select a;       foreach(string res in sort) {          Console.WriteLine(res);       }    } }outputAmerican Indian Moroccon

Declare an array and initialize −int[] arr = new int[] {    87,    23,    65,    29,    67 };To sort, use the Sort() method and CompareTo() to compare and display in decreasing order −Array.Sort < int > (arr, new Comparison < int > ((val1, val2) => val2.CompareTo(val1)));Let us see the complete code −Example Live Demousing System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; public class Demo {    public static void Main(string[] args) {       int[] arr = new int[] {          87,          23,          65,     ...

ReaderWriterLock synchronize access to a resource. A ReaderWriterLock has better throughput than a Monitor, which is one-at-a-time lock. This works for a situation when a resource is changed rarely. Let us see how to declare a ReaderWriter lock in C# − static ReaderWriterLock r = new ReaderWriterLock(); The following are the properties of a ReaderWriter lock in C# − Sr.No. Property & Description 1 IsReaderLockHeld Gets a value indicating whether the current thread holds a reader lock. 2 IsWriterLockHeld Gets a value indicating whether the current thread holds a Writer lock. ...

Unit testing is a key for C# code since it can help in maintaining code in the development process. It lets you know about the problems in the development cycle. With Unit Testing, you can make the code reliable and reusable. One of the fundamental principles of adopting unit testing is to follow a TDD (Test Driven Development) approach where we have to write tests case first, and then write the simple code that will make the test pass For Unit testing, you need to work with Microsoft Testing tools, which is what we call MS Unit Test. To create ... Read More

The .NET Framework 4 introduced System.Collections.Concurrent namespace. The namespace has numerous collection classes. These classes are both thread-safe and scalable. Multiple threads can safely add or remove items from these collections, The following concurrent collection types use lightweight synchronization mechanisms: SpinLock, SpinWait, etc. These are new in .NET Framework 4. Let us see the concurrent collection in C# − Sr.No. Type & Description 1 BlockingCollection Bounding and blocking functionality for any type. 2 ConcurrentDictionary Thread-safe implementation of a dictionary of key-value pairs. 3 ConcurrentQueue Thread-safe implementation of a FIFO ...

In C#, Task parallelism divide tasks. The tasks are then allocated to separate threads for processing. In .NET, you have the following mechanisms to run code in parallel: Thread, ThreadPool, and Task. For parallelism, use tasks in C# instead of Threads.A task will not create its own OS thread, whereas they are executed by a TaskScheduler.Let us see how to create tasks. Use a delegate to start a task −Task tsk = new Task(delegate { PrintMessage(); }); tsk.Start();Use Task Factory to start a task −Task.Factory.StartNew(() => {Console.WriteLine("Welcome!"); });You can also use Lambda −Task tsk = new Task( () => PrintMessage() ...
