How to Create An Empty String Array? C#

C#

There are three simple ways to declare an Empty String Array:


  • new string[] { }

  • { }

  • Array.Empty< string >


Check C# example:
using System; namespace EmptyArrayApplication
{ internal class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //Variant 1 string[] myEmptyArray1 = new string[] { }; //Variant 2 string[] myEmptyArray2 = { }; //Variant 3 string[] myEmptyArray3 = Array.Empty<string>();//for .NET Framework 4.6 and later Console.WriteLine(myEmptyArray1.Length); Console.WriteLine(myEmptyArray2.Length); Console.WriteLine(myEmptyArray3.Length); } }
}

If you use .net Framework 4.6 or later use Array.Empty() construction. Usually, an empty array uses to return the default value from the function.
