List(of String) or Array or ArrayList

Question

Hopefully a simple question to most programmers with some experience.

What is the datatype that lets me do this?

Dim lstOfStrings as *IDK*

Dim Stri         


        

Answer 1

Sometimes I don't want to add items to a list when I instantiate it.

Instantiate a blank list

Dim blankList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)

Add to the list

blankList.Add("Dis be part of me list") 'blankList is no longer blank, but you get the drift

Loop through the list

For Each item in blankList
  ' write code here, for example:
  Console.WriteLine(item)
Next
