How Would You Implement List.Clear() ? OptionComplexity with Respect to Number of Elements in List (n) AO(1) BO(n) – set all elements to null ! Mind the GC! CSomething else.

What about String.Substring?

Hiding Members can be declared as new in a subclass. They hide inherited members with the same name and signature. class A { public int x; public void F() {...} public virtual void G() {...} } class B : A { public new int x; public new void F() {...} public new void G() {...} } B b = new B(); b.x =...;// accesses B.x b.F();... b.G();// calls B.F and B.G ((A)b).x =...;// accesses A.x! ((A)b).F();... ((A)b).G(); // calls A.F and A.G!

What is the output the following program? class A { public string className = “A”; } class B : A { private string className = “B”; } class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine(new B().className); } OptionResult AIt will not compile – error in class B.
