Arrays and Methods

Objectives
• Passing Array to Method
• Passing Array Element to Method
Passing an Array to a Method (continued)
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int i;
int[] originalArray = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
IncreaseAllByTen(originalArray);

for (i = 0; i < originalArray.Length; i++)


Console.WriteLine(originalArray[i]);
Console.ReadLine();
} // end of void Main

static void IncreaseAllByTen(int[] originalArray)


{
int x;
for (x = 0; x < originalArray.Length; x++)
originalArray[x] += 10;
}
Passing an Array to a Method (continued)
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int i;
int[] originalArray = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
IncreaseAllByTen(originalArray);

for (i = 0; i < originalArray.Length; i++)


Console.WriteLine(originalArray[i]);
Console.ReadLine();
} // end of void Main

static void IncreaseAllByTen(int[] originalArray)


{
int x;
for (x = 0; x < originalArray.Length; x++)
originalArray[x] += 10; // increase each value by 10
}
 The next slide is the same example.

 Array name has changed when it’s passed into the


method.

 The result is the same. Permanent changes have been


made to the array.
Passing an Array to a Method (continued)
 With regards to the previous slides,
any changes made to the array (even if these
changes take place within a method) are permanent
changes, and are reflected throughout the program.
Passing a single array element to a method
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] colours = { "blue", "purple", "yellow" };

DisplayColours(colours[2]);

Console.ReadLine();
} // end of void Main

static void DisplayColours(string someColour)


{
Console.Write("The colour is {0}.", someColour);
}
Passing a single array element to a method
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] colours = { "blue", "purple", "yellow" };

DisplayColours(colours[2]);

Console.ReadLine();
} // end of void Main

static void DisplayColours(string someColour)


{
Console.Write("The colour is {0}.", someColour);
}

• The colour “yellow” is passed through to the method (not the entire
array).
• It comes through as a normal string variable into the DisplayColor
method.
