Summary

This chapter was dedicated to lists, which are among the most common data structures that are used while developing various kinds of applications. However, this topic is not very easy because there are various variants of lists, including simple, sorted, and linked ones. Even this structure can be further divided as you saw while reading this chapter.

First, you learned about simple lists, which can be implemented as an array list or as a generic list. One of the most important differences between them is that the array list is not strongly typed, while the generic list is. You learned about various properties and methods available for these data structures, together with extension methods. Such information was supported by code snippets.

Next, you learned about sorted lists, which ensures a proper order of elements available in the collection. It is a bit of a different data structure but can be useful in various development scenarios. You learned how to use it while...
