This article describes the usage of C# index attributes. Share it for your reference. The details are as follows:
Here we demonstrate how C# class declares index properties to represent a collection of similar arrays of different kinds of things.
// using System; public class Document { // The following types allow the document to be viewed the same way as the word array: public class WordCollection { readonly Document document; // Include document internal WordCollection(Document d) { document = d; } // Helper function -- search in character array "text" starting from character "begin" // WordCount "wordCount". If the word count is less than wordCount, // Returns false. Put "start" and // "length" is set to the position and length of the word in the text: private bool GetWord(char[] text, int begin, int wordCount, out int start, out int length) { int end = ; int count = 0; int inWord = -1; start = length = 0; for (int i = begin; i <= end; ++i) { bool isLetter = i < end && (text[i]); if (inWord >= 0) { if (!isLetter) { if (count++ == wordCount) { start = inWord; length = i - inWord; return true; } inWord = -1; } } else { if (isLetter) inWord = i; } } return false; } // Get and set an indexer containing words in the document: public string this[int index] { get { int start, length; if (GetWord(, 0, index, out start, out length)) return new string(, start, length); else throw new IndexOutOfRangeException(); } set { int start, length; if (GetWord(, 0, index, out start, out length)) { // Replace the string "value" at start/length // Character: if (length == ) { ((), 0, , start, length); } else { char[] newText = new char[ + - length]; (, 0, newText, 0, start); ((), 0, newText, start, ); (, start + length, newText, start + , - start - length); = newText; } } else throw new IndexOutOfRangeException(); } } // Get the count of words containing the document: public int Count { get { int count = 0, start = 0, length = 0; while (GetWord(, start + length, 0, out start, out length)) ++count; return count; } } } // The following types allow the viewing method of documents like "array" of characters // Same: public class CharacterCollection { readonly Document document; // Include document internal CharacterCollection(Document d) { document = d; } // Get and set an indexer containing characters in the document: public char this[int index] { get { return [index]; } set { [index] = value; } } // Get the count containing characters in the document: public int Count { get { return ; } } } // Since the field type has an indexer, // So these fields are displayed as "Index Attributes": public WordCollection Words; public CharacterCollection Characters; private char[] TextArray; // Document text. public Document(string initialText) { TextArray = (); Words = new WordCollection(this); Characters = new CharacterCollection(this); } public string Text { get { return new string(TextArray); } } } class Test { static void Main() { Document d = new Document( "peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. How many pickled peppers did peter piper pick?" ); // Change the word "peter" to "penelope": for (int i = 0; i < ; ++i) { if ([i] == "peter") [i] = "penelope"; } // Change the character "p" to "P" for (int i = 0; i < ; ++i) { if ([i] == 'p') [i] = 'P'; } (); } }
I hope this article will be helpful to everyone's C# programming.
