Questions and Answers

What is the problem with the solution of creating a class (ex. ListOfNumbers) to copy the contents of the array to a new array?

It leads to code duplication when creating a list of a different data type (correct)
It results in slow performance when handling large arrays
It makes the code too complex and difficult to understand
It leads to memory leaks and potential crashes

What are the drawbacks of using the data type 'object' to solve the problem?

One list can accept different types of data and casting must be used repeatedly (correct)
It restricts the types of data that can be stored in the list
It leads to increased memory consumption and slower performance
It causes compatibility issues with certain programming languages

What is one big limitation of arrays mentioned in the text?

Inability to store multiple data types
Inability to easily change their size by adding and removing items (correct)
Inability to perform mathematical operations on the elements
Inability to access individual elements

What is the motivation for using generics as mentioned in the text?

What are the restrictions for a static class in C#?

What does it mean when a member of a class is declared as static in C#?

When a member of a class is declared as static in C#, it means that no matter how many objects of the class are created, there is only one copy of the static member. Signup and view all the answers

What are the characteristics of a static class in C#?
