What just happened?

The following screenshot is the Console output. Notice the first output tells you there is a total of 3 elements in the List:

Note

Please notice that your code is using dot syntax, which will be discussed in more detail in the next chapter. The main concepts I want you to focus on here are the features of a List.

The analysis of code is as follows:

• The code on line 2 is as follows:

  Using System.Collections.Generic;

  To be able to use a List, this tells Unity where to find the necessary C# code files for using a List.

  Change the using statement to using System.Collections.Generic;.

• The code on line 8 is as fololws:

  List<string> myFavoritePonies = new List<string>();

  This statement creates an empty L ist object.
