C# how to treat ints like they are array? [closed]

Answer 1

You can't actually do this in .NET. ints are value types, so you can't make a reference to them directly.

There are a number of ways around this, however. Here's just one:

class IntReference
{
    int Value { get; set; }
}

IntReference a = new IntReference() { Value = 10 };
IntReference b = new IntReference() { Value = 20 };

IntReference[] rihanna = { a, b };

for (int i = 0; i < rihanna.Length; i++)
    rihanna[i].Value = rihanna[i].Value + 1;

Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} ", a.Value, b.Value); // "11 21"

Although you really shouldn't have to do this, ever. It goes counter to the design of value types in .NET.
