If (Array.Length == 0)

Question

If an array is empty, it looks like you can\'t check it\'s length using \".length\". What\'s the best way to check if an array is empty?

Answer 1

You can use

if (array == null || array.Length == 0)

OR

if (!(array != null && array.Length != 0))

NOTE!!!!! To insure that c# will implement the short circuit correctly; you have to compare that the object with NULL before you go to the children compare of the object.

C# 7.0 and above

if(!(array?.Length != 0))
