Arithmetic Operation on Two Arrays in C# 4.5

Introduction

In this article I describe how to perform arithmetic operations on two arrays in C# .Net. In this article however I have declared both arrays with the same length to perform the arithmetic operations on an array, like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I have performed all these operations in a simple and easy way. So let us understand the procedure.

• Open Visual Studio 2012
• "File" -> "New" -> "Project..."
• Choose "Template" -> "Visual C#" -> "Console application"

Perform Addition

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

 

namespace ConsoleApplication1

{

    class Program

    {

        public static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            const int n = 5;

 

            int[] a = new int[n] { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };

            int[] b = new int[n] { 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };

            int[] arr = new int[n];

            for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < a.Length; i++, j++)

            {

                arr[i] = a[i] + b[j];                             

            }

            for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)

            {

                Console.Write(arr[i] + " ");

            }

            Console.Read();

        }

      

    }

 }

 

Output

Note: In the code shown above the sum of two single-dimension arrays is produced.  Which is done simply  by the "+" operator.

Perform Subtraction

public static void Main(string[] args)

{

    const int n = 5;

 

    int[] a = new int[n] { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };

    int[] b = new int[n] { 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };

    int[] arr = new int[n];

    for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < a.Length; i++, j++)

    {

        arr[i] = a[i] - b[j];                             

    }

    for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)

    {

        Console.Write(arr[i] + " ");

    }

    Console.Read();

}

 

Output

Perform Multiplication

public static void Main(string[] args)

{

    const int n = 5;

 

    int[] a = new int[n] { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };

    int[] b = new int[n] { 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };

    int[] arr = new int[n];

    for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < a.Length; i++, j++)

    {

        arr[i] = a[i] * b[j];                             

    }

    for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)

    {

        Console.Write(arr[i] + " ");

    }

    Console.Read();

}

 

Output

Perform Division

public static void Main(string[] args)

{

    const int n = 5;

 

    int[] a = new int[n] { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };

    int[] b = new int[n] { 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };

    int[] arr = new int[n];

    for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < a.Length; i++, j++)

    {

        arr[i] = a[i] / b[j];                             

    }

    for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)

    {

        Console.Write(arr[i] + " ");

    }

    Console.Read();

}

 

Output

Summary

In this article I have described all the arithmetic operations on a single-dimension array using the same methods in a simple way.
