C# Sorteddictionary

The C# SortedDictionary<TKey, TValue> class implements a hashtable mechanism to organize and store data based on keys. It ensures that keys are unique and maintains a sorted order based on the keys. Using the keys, users can efficiently search for or delete elements within the collection. This class is located within the System.Collections.Generic namespace.

C# SortedDictionary__PRESERVE_4__ example

Let's explore a sample implementation of a generic SortedDictionary<TKey, TValue> structure that stores items via the Add function and traverses them using a for-each loop. In this scenario, we utilize the KeyValuePair class to access both the key and the value associated with each element.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;



public class SortedDictionaryExample

{

    public static void Main(string[] args)

    {

        SortedDictionary<string, string> names = new SortedDictionary<string, string>();

        names.Add("1","Sonoo");  

        names.Add("4","Peter");  

        names.Add("5","James");  

        names.Add("3","Ratan");  

        names.Add("2","Irfan");  

        foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> kv in names)

        {

            Console.WriteLine(kv.Key+" "+kv.Value);

        }

    }

}

Output:

1 Sonoo

2 Irfan

3 Ratan

4 Peter

5 James
