Initializing Arrays at Declaration

C# provides simple and straightforward ways to initialize arrays at declaration time by enclosing the initial values in curly
braces ({}). The following examples show different ways to initialize different kinds of arrays.

ReDim Preserve [VB.Net]
ReDim: Reallocate storage space for an array variable.
Preserve: Preserve the data in the existing array when you change the size of only the last dimension.

However, with multidimensional arrays, using a

nested for loop gives you more control over
the array elements.

for
foreach, in
The while statement executes a statement or a block of statements until a specified expression evaluates to
false.
while
while (expression)  Because the test of expression takes place before each execution of the loop, a while
{
statement(s);
loop executes zero or more times.
} A while loop can be terminated when a break, goto, return, or throw statement
transfers control outside the loop. To pass control to the next iteration without exiting
the loop, use the continue statement.

 Jump Statements
break
C#.Net VB.Net
continue
goto
Branching is performed using jump statements, which cause an immediate transfer of the program control.
return break Terminates the closest enclosing loop
DEMO
throw continue Passes control to the next iteration of the enclosing iteration statement in which it appears.

goto Transfers the program control directly to a labeled statement.

return Terminates execution of the method in which it appears and returns control to the calling method.

throw Used to signal the occurrence of an anomalous situation (exception) during the program execution.
 Exception Overview
System.Exception Overview
C# provides built-in support for handling anomalous situations, known as exceptions, which may occur
during the execution of your program.
System.Exception class represents errors that occur during application execution.

System.Exception Overview
 System.Exception class represents errors that occur during application execution.

Some of the important properties of System.Exception

InnerException Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception.
Message Gets a message that describes the current exception.
StackTrace Gets a string representation of the call stack.

Some of the important methods of System.Exception

GetBaseException Returns the Exception that is the root cause of the subsequent exceptions.
GetType Gets the runtime type of the current instance.
ToString Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception.
