Can you store multiple data types in System.Array?..

Answer / joe

Yes and no. Yes you can but it is no longer an array. You
would want to use a Structure. In a way, structures are
better arrays. Look 'em up, they are very handy.

Can you store multiple data types in System.Array?..

Answer / sudhir sheoran

The answer is yes and no.
Ideally array is collection of single data types
E.g :-
array [] arr = new int [10];
it will store only int because datatype is defined
as int in this case.

In case of some particular requirements array can be used
to store diff data types. But in this case array has
to be declared as object array
E.g:-
class Test
{
public static void Main()
{
object[] arr = new object[10];
arr[0] = 1;
arr[1] = "Hello";
Console.WriteLine(arr[0]);
Console.WriteLine(arr[1]);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
This is successfully complied.
