System.Collections.Generic API Documentation

Introduction

This section provides a comprehensive overview of the System.Collections.Generic namespace.

Key Classes

Here's a breakdown of the important classes in System.Collections.Generic:

List: Represents a list of items.
Dictionary: Represents a dictionary (mapping keys to values).
LinkedList: A doubly linked list.
Queue: A FIFO (First-In, First-Out) queue.
HashSet: A set that stores unique elements.
SortedSet: A set that stores elements sorted according to a specific comparison function.

Example Code

Example using List:

        System.Collections.Generic.List  myList = new System.Collections.Generic.List() {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        Console.WriteLine(myList);

Example using Dictionary:

        System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary myDict = new System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary() {
          {"name", 1},
          {"age", 30},
          {"city", "New York"}
        };
        Console.WriteLine(myDict);

Example using LinkedList:

        System.Collections.Generic.LinkedList myList = new System.Collections.Generic.LinkedList() {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        Console.WriteLine(myList);

Example using Queue:

        System.Collections.Generic.Queue myQueue = new System.Collections.Generic.Queue() {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        Console.WriteLine(myQueue);

Example using HashSet:

        System.Collections.Generic.HashSet mySet = new System.Collections.Generic.HashSet() {
          "apple", "banana", "cherry"
        };
        Console.WriteLine(mySet);

Example using SortedSet:

        System.Collections.Generic.SortedSet mySet = new System.Collections.Generic.SortedSet() {
          1, 2, 3, 4, 5
        };
        Console.WriteLine(mySet);
