Choosing the Right Collection in C# đź’»Programming.
Collections are the backbone of data handling in any programming language, and C# offers a rich set of options to manage data effectively.

Whether you’re storing a fixed number of elements, ensuring uniqueness, or managing dynamic datasets, selecting the right collection can significantly impact the performance, readability, and maintainability of your code.
Here’s a detailed explanation of when to use each collection in C# along with examples:
1. Array
When to Use:
- Use when you know the exact size of the collection in advance.
- Ideal for minimal memory overhead and fast sequential access.

Usage Scenario:
- Fixed-size datasets like storing days of the week or static configurations.
2. List<T>
When to Use:
- Use when the size of the collection is dynamic.
- Ideal for frequent additions or removals.
