How can I print the contents of an array horizontally?

Why doesn't the console window print the array contents horizontally rather than vertically?

Is there a way to change that?

How can I display the content of my array horizontally instead of vertically, with a Console.WriteLine()?

For example:

int[] numbers = new int[100]
for(int i; i < 100; i++)
{
    numbers[i] = i;
}

for (int i; i < 100; i++)
{
    Console.WriteLine(numbers[i]);
}

You are probably using Console.WriteLine for printing the array.

int[] array = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };
foreach(var item in array)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item.ToString());
}

If you don't want to have every item on a separate line use Console.Write:

int[] array = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };
foreach(var item in array)
{
    Console.Write(item.ToString());
}

or string.Join<T> (in .NET Framework 4 or later):

int[] array = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(",", array));

I would suggest:

foreach(var item in array)
  Console.Write("{0}", item);

As written above, except it does not raise an exception if one item is null.

Console.Write(string.Join(" ", array));

would be perfect if the array is a string[].

Just loop through the array and write the items to the console using Write instead of WriteLine:

foreach(var item in array)
    Console.Write(item.ToString() + " ");

As long as your items don't have any line breaks, that will produce a single line.

...or, as Jon Skeet said, provide a little more context to your question.

If you need to pretty print an array of arrays, something like this could work: Pretty Print Array of Arrays in .NET C#

public string PrettyPrintArrayOfArrays(int[][] arrayOfArrays)
{
  if (arrayOfArrays == null)
    return "";

  var prettyArrays = new string[arrayOfArrays.Length];

  for (int i = 0; i < arrayOfArrays.Length; i++)
  {
    prettyArrays[i] = "[" + String.Join(",", arrayOfArrays[i]) + "]";
  }

  return "[" + String.Join(",", prettyArrays) + "]";
}

Example Output:

[[2,3]]

[[2,3],[5,4,3]]

[[2,3],[5,4,3],[8,9]]

The below solution is the simplest one:

Console.WriteLine("[{0}]", string.Join(", ", array));

Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Another short solution:

Array.ForEach(array,  val => Console.Write("{0} ", val));

Output: 1 2 3 4 5 . Or if you need to add add ,, use the below:

int i = 0;
Array.ForEach(array,  val => Console.Write(i == array.Length -1) ? "{0}" : "{0}, ", val));

Output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

foreach(var item in array)
Console.Write(item.ToString() + "\t");

namespace ReverseString
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string stat = "This is an example of code" +
                          "This code has written in C#\n\n";

            Console.Write(stat);

            char[] myArrayofChar = stat.ToCharArray();

            Array.Reverse(myArrayofChar);

            foreach (char myNewChar in myArrayofChar)
                Console.Write(myNewChar); // You just need to write the function
                                          // Write instead of WriteLine
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

This is the output:

#C ni nettirw sah edoc sihTedoc fo elpmaxe na si sihT

int[] n=new int[5];

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    n[i] = i + 100;
}

foreach (int j in n)
{
    int i = j - 100;
    
    Console.WriteLine("Element [{0}]={1}", i, j);
    i++;
}

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    int[] numbers = new int[10];

    Console.Write("index ");

    for (int i = 0; i < numbers.Length; i++)
    {
        numbers[i] = i;
        Console.Write(numbers[i] + " ");
    }

    Console.WriteLine("");
    Console.WriteLine("");
    Console.Write("value ");

    for (int i = 0; i < numbers.Length; i++)
    {
        numbers[i] = numbers.Length - i;
        Console.Write(numbers[i] + " ");
    }

    Console.ReadKey();
}

Using Console.Write only works if the thread is the only thread writing to the Console, otherwise your output may be interspersed with other output that may or may not insert newlines, as well as other undesired characters. To ensure your array is printed intact, use Console.WriteLine to write one string. Most any array of objects can be printed horizontally (depending on the type's ToString() method) using the non-generic Join available before .NET 4.0:

        int[] numbers = new int[100];
        for(int i= 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            numbers[i] = i;
        }

        //For clarity
        IEnumerable strings = numbers.Select<int, string>(j=>j.ToString());
        string[] stringArray = strings.ToArray<string>();
        string output = string.Join(", ", stringArray);
        Console.WriteLine(output);

        //OR 

        //For brevity
        Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", numbers.Select<int, string>(j => j.ToString()).ToArray<string>()));

I have written some extensions to accommodate almost any need.
There are extension overloads to feed with Separator, String.Format and IFormatProvider.

Example:

var array1 = new byte[] { 50, 51, 52, 53 };
var array2 = new double[] { 1.1111, 2.2222, 3.3333 };
var culture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("ja-JP");

Console.WriteLine("Byte Array");
//Normal print 
Console.WriteLine(array1.StringJoin());
//Format to hex values
Console.WriteLine(array1.StringJoin("-", "0x{0:X2}"));
//Comma separated 
Console.WriteLine(array1.StringJoin(", "));
Console.WriteLine();

Console.WriteLine("Double Array");
//Normal print 
Console.WriteLine(array2.StringJoin());
//Format to Japanese culture
Console.WriteLine(array2.StringJoin(culture));
//Format to three decimals 
Console.WriteLine(array2.StringJoin(" ", "{0:F3}"));
//Format to Japanese culture and two decimals
Console.WriteLine(array2.StringJoin(" ", "{0:F2}", culture));
Console.WriteLine();

Console.ReadLine();
