Warm greetings! This lesson introduces data streams, which are essentially continuous datasets. Imagine a weather station or a gaming application gathering data every second — both generate data streams! We will learn how to handle these data streams using C# by accessing individual elements, slicing segments, and converting these streams into strings for easier handling.
In C#, data streams can be represented using collections such as arrays or lists. We will use a class to encapsulate operations related to these data streams in our C# application. Let's consider a simple C# class named DataStream
:
To use this, we create a sample data stream as an instance of our DataStream
class, where each element is a dictionary with key-value pairs:
To look into individual elements of a data stream, we use zero-based indexing. The Get
method we introduce below fetches the -th element from the data stream:
