Programming C# 6, Part 12 of 12: Arrays and Sorting

Course description

According to programming expert Don Kiely, it’s hard to imagine a C# application that doesn’t make use of the language element known as arrays. In this course Kiely examines what arrays are and how to create and initialize them with data. He will also explore the support that the .NET framework offers arrays as well as how to use advanced sorting techniques.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course builds upon: Programming C# 6: Getting started Programming C# 6: Your First App Programming C# 6: Projects and Syntax Programming C# 6: Variables and Data Types Programming C# 6: Adv Data Types and Operators Programming C# 6: Strings, File I/O and Date Types Programming C# 6: Conditions and Looping Programming C# 6: Objects and Classes It is considered a more Intermediate to advanced topic after you have gone through these other courses.
