C# interview questions
- What’s the advantage of using System.Text.StringBuilder over System.String? StringBuilder is more efficient in the cases, where a lot of manipulation is done to the text. Strings are immutable, so each time it’s being operated on, a new instance is created.
- Can you store multiple data types in System.Array? No.
- What’s the difference between the System.Array.CopyTo() and System.Array.Clone()? The first one performs a deep copy of the array, the second one is shallow.
- How can you overload a method? Different parameter data types, different number of parameters, different order of parameters.
- If a base class has a bunch of overloaded constructors, and an inherited class has another bunch of overloaded constructors, can you enforce a call from an inherited constructor to an arbitrary base constructor? Yes, just place a colon, and then keyword base (parameter list to invoke the appropriate constructor) in the overloaded constructor definition inside the inherited class.
- What’s the difference between System.String and System.StringBuilder classes? System.String is immutable; System.StringBuilder was designed with the purpose of having a mutable string where a variety of operations can be performed.
- What’s a delegate? A delegate object encapsulates a reference to a method. In C++ they were referred to as function pointers.
- What’s a multicast delegate? It’s a delegate that points to and eventually fires off several methods.
