TABLE OF CONTENTS C# for Java Programmers
Solutions Fast Track
Strings
-
Strings can be created either by supply or a literal, or via a constructor.
-
Strings are immutable, meaning once they are created they cannot be modified.
-
If a mutable string is required, use the stringBuilder class.

-
C# also provides the new foreach loop for iteration through arrays and collections.
