I am trying to write some code to return an array in C#, but don't know the proper syntax. I think my method is set up correctly, but to set an array to the result of the method is what I'm having difficulty with.
Method Declaration:
double[,] function(double variable)
{
...
code
...
return array
}
Here is an example of how to create the two dimensional array, put some values in it, and return it:
double[,] function(double variable) {
double[,] result = new double[2,2];
result[0,0] = 1.0;
result[0,1] = 2.0;
result[1,0] = 3.0;
result[1,1] = 4.0;
return result;
}
If it is a one dimentional array that you want (the question is a bit unclear about that):
double[] function(double variable) {
double[] result = new double[3];
result[0] = 1.0;
result[1] = 2.0;
result[2] = 3.0;
return result;
}
double[,] x = function(1.5); (The parameter is unused in the example above.)function from a static method?Array is double[]. double[,] is a two dimensional array (matrix).
Guffa's answer illustrates how to create and populate a two-dimensional array (which it looks like is what you want to do).
To set a variable to the return value of this method, you would do this (supposing the method's name were MyMethod):
double myVariable = 12.34;
double[,] myArray = MyMethod(myVariable);
public static ANameOfSomeClass
{
public static double[] SingleDoubleArraryMethodName(double parameterValue)
{
double[] values = new double[3];
values[0] = 1.0;
values[2] = 1.5;
values[2] = 1.75;
return values;
}
public static double[,] MultDimDoubleArraryMethodName(double parameterValue)
{
double[,] values = new double[2,2];
values[0,0] = 0.0;
values[0,1] = 1.0;
values[1,0] = 2.0;
values[1,1] = 2.5;
return values;
}
}
You could call it like
double[] results = ANameOfSomeClass.SingleDoubleArraryMethodName(1.2);
If you remove the keyword static it becoms
ANameOfSomeClass yourObj = new ANameOfSomeClass();
double[] results = yourObj .SingleDoubleArraryMethodName(1.2);
