- length
- Int32
The length of the collection that the Index will be used with. Must be a positive value.
Returns
The offset.
Remarks
For performance reasons, this method does not validate if length or the returned value are negative. It also doesn't validate if the returned value is greater than length.
Collections are not expected to have a negative length/count. If this method's returned offset is negative and is then used to index a collection, the runtime will throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException, which will have the same effect as validation.
