Array.GetLowerBound(Int32) Method

Definition

Gets the index of the first element of the specified dimension in the array.

public int GetLowerBound (int dimension);

Parameters

dimension
Int32

A zero-based dimension of the array whose starting index needs to be determined.

Returns

The index of the first element of the specified dimension in the array.

Exceptions

dimension is less than zero.

-or-

dimension is equal to or greater than Rank.

Examples

The following example uses the GetLowerBound and GetUpperBound methods to display the bounds of a one-dimensional and two-dimensional array and to display the values of their array elements.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      // Create a one-dimensional integer array.
      int[] integers = { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 };
      // Get the upper and lower bound of the array.
      int upper = integers.GetUpperBound(0);
      int lower = integers.GetLowerBound(0);
      Console.WriteLine($"Elements from index {lower} to {upper}:");
      // Iterate the array.
      for (int ctr = lower; ctr <= upper; ctr++)
        Console.Write($"{(ctr == lower ?"   " : "")}{integers[ctr]}" +
                      $"{(ctr < upper ? ", " : Environment.NewLine)}");

      Console.WriteLine();

      // Create a two-dimensional integer array.
      int[,] integers2d= { {2, 4}, {3, 9}, {4, 16}, {5, 25},
                           {6, 36}, {7, 49}, {8, 64}, {9, 81} };
      // Get the number of dimensions.
      int rank = integers2d.Rank;
      Console.WriteLine($"Number of dimensions: {rank}");
      for (int ctr = 0; ctr < rank; ctr++)
        Console.WriteLine($"   Dimension {ctr}: " +
                          $"from {integers2d.GetLowerBound(ctr)} to {integers2d.GetUpperBound(ctr)}");

      // Iterate the 2-dimensional array and display its values.
      Console.WriteLine("   Values of array elements:");
      for (int outer = integers2d.GetLowerBound(0); outer <= integers2d.GetUpperBound(0);
           outer++)
        for (int inner = integers2d.GetLowerBound(1); inner <= integers2d.GetUpperBound(1);
             inner++)
           Console.WriteLine($"      {'\u007b'}{outer}, {inner}{'\u007d'} = " +
                             $"{integers2d.GetValue(outer, inner)}");
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Elements from index 0 to 9:
//          2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
//
//       Number of dimensions: 2
//          Dimension 0: from 0 to 7
//          Dimension 1: from 0 to 1
//          Values of array elements:
//             {0, 0} = 2
//             {0, 1} = 4
//             {1, 0} = 3
//             {1, 1} = 9
//             {2, 0} = 4
//             {2, 1} = 16
//             {3, 0} = 5
//             {3, 1} = 25
//             {4, 0} = 6
//             {4, 1} = 36
//             {5, 0} = 7
//             {5, 1} = 49
//             {6, 0} = 8
//             {6, 1} = 64
//             {7, 0} = 9
//             {7, 1} = 81

Remarks

GetLowerBound(0) returns the starting index of the first dimension of the array, and GetLowerBound(Rank - 1) returns the starting index of the last dimension of the array.

The GetLowerBound method always returns a value that indicates the index of the lower bound of the array, even if the array is empty.

Note that, although most arrays in .NET are zero-based (that is, the GetLowerBound method returns zero for each dimension of an array), .NET does support arrays that are not zero-based. Such arrays can be created with the CreateInstance(Type, Int32[], Int32[]) method, and can also be returned from unmanaged code.

This method is an O(1) operation.
