1. Introduction to Collections

Duration: 9:57
This section introduces you to the fundamental concepts of collections in C#. It covers the importance of collections and how they are used to manage groups of related objects efficiently.

2. Generic vs Non-Generic Collections

Duration: 11:09
Understand the differences between generic and non-generic collections, including performance benefits, type safety, and ease of use.

3. Working with Lists

Learn about one of the most commonly used collections in C#, the List. This section includes:

  • What is a List? (5:14)
  • Inserting and removing elements from a List.
  • Looping through Lists.
  • Aggregating and filtering data using LINQ with Lists.
  • Sorting, searching, and working with custom objects.

Key Topics:

  • Adding/Removing Elements
  • Aggregation with LINQ
  • Filtering Data
  • Sorting Methods
  • Contains, Exists, Find, and Any methods.

4. HashTable in C#

Duration: 12:55
The Hashtable stores key-value pairs, and this section dives into how to work with a Hashtable, its use cases, and its difference from other similar collections.

Key Topics:

  • Working with HashTables.
  • Differences between HashTable and Dictionary.

5. Dictionaries in C#

Duration: 5:39
The Dictionary is another key-value pair collection, but it is type-safe and more efficient than a Hashtable. This section provides an in-depth understanding of Dictionaries, including advanced LINQ queries and the TryGetValue method.

Key Topics:

  • Using and working with Dictionaries.
  • LINQ with Dictionaries.
  • Difference between HashTable and Dictionary.

6. HashSet in C#

This section covers HashSet, an unordered collection of unique elements. It is ideal for scenarios where you need to manage a distinct set of items without duplicates.

Key Topics:

  • Checking for existence in HashSet.
  • Removing elements from HashSet.
  • Using HashSet to remove duplicates from collections.
  • LINQ operations with HashSet.

7. Set Operations with HashSet

Learn how to perform fundamental set operations using HashSet, including:

  • Union Operation (2:21)
  • Intersection Operation (1:57)
  • Difference Operation (2:29)
  • Symmetric Difference (3:12)

8. Comparing Sets with HashSet

Compare different sets of data using HashSet and explore operations like:

  • SetEquals to check for equality.
  • IsSubsetOf and IsSupersetOf for checking set relationships.
  • Using Overlaps to find common elements between sets.
