Index out of bounds

[Madmartigan]

Hi

I'd like to know how to inlcude a check to make sure the index requested is not out of bounds in C#.

In the following code I have created an array to store ten numbers at most. The array must be accessible using an Indexer. In the Indexer I would like to include the check.

using System; 
 class Numbers {

 private int[] nums = new int[10]; 
 public int this [uint index] {

   get {
                // can I add a check here and if so what is the syntax?
    	return nums[index];
    }
    set {
 	// will I need it here too?
      	lots[index] = value; 
    }
 
  }


static void Main() {
    Numbers num = new Numbers(); 
    num[0] = 1; 
    num[1] = 23; 
    num[2] = 5; 
    num[3] = 5;
    num[4] = 24;
    num[5] = 5;
    num[6] = 5;
    num[7] = 67;
    num[8] = 90;
    num[9] = 11;


    for (uint i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
		Console.WriteLine("The numbers " + num[i]);


   }
 } 
 	
 }

Thanks for your help.

All the arrays have a .Length property that tells how many there are.
In your case:

nums.Length

It will return a 10. Your index should be allowed 0-9 (assuming C#)
So index <nums.Length
