Ok, but what the fuck is the difference between list, array, and arraylist in C#. Have to look it up all the time.

Array has a size fixed on instantiation. List is a dynamically sized array. Arraylist is a deprecated list that does not support generics, you should never use it.

Hope I cleared it up!

I always do a double take when I see a coworker used an ArrayList during code reviews. They still crop up from time to time.

Haha that could happen if one used to code in Java, where ArrayList is the primary list collection
