the Array

Question

When I run the code bellow in the console application I got the error " Index was outside the bounds of the array". Why do I get the error and how to fix it?

static void Main(string[]args)
{
   string aString= "This is a string";
   string [] sArray= aString.Split(' ');
   Console.WriteLine(sArray[sArray.Length]);
}

I thinks,should I convert the sArray.Length to int because it still be a string form. right?

Try this its working static void Main(string[] args) { string aString = This is a string; string[] sArray = aString.Split(' '); Console.WriteLine(sArray[sArray.Length-1]); } you r getting error bcoz u r trying to access array value which is out of index range bcoz array starting from 0 and ur last array index will be 3 and u r trying to access index 4 because sArray.Length is 4 here.Thats why u r getting this error.

Hi sArray.Length will be 4 . Since the array positions starts from 0(Length calculation starts from 1)  the array will be having the four positions as of 0123. 4 is outside the four positions it throws the error.
