Modify Elements

Lesson 9 of 14 in Coddy's Strings and Arrays in C# course.

To access elements in an array, refer to the element index number.

Just like in a string, indexes start at 0:

int[] numbers = {5, 9, 12};
int firstElement = numbers[0];  // Holds 5
int secondElement = numbers[1]; // Holds 9
int thirdElement = numbers[2];  // Holds 12

Note that accessing indexes that do not exist will result in an error, for example - numbers[3]

To change the value of a specific element in an array:

numbers[1] = 13;

Now, the numbers array looks like this:

{5, 13, 12}

Challenge

Easy

Write a function named printSome that gets an array of strings as an argument and prints the 1st and 3rd elements.

You can assume that the array will always be at least 3 elements long.

Try it yourself

using System;

class PrintSome {
    public static void printSome(string[] a) {
        // Write code here
    }
}
