Rectangular array is another type of array that allows you to define a table like array that has a row and column definition.

Syntax:

type[,] = new type[row,column];

type – can be any data type

row – is the number of rows for your table

column – is the number of columns for your table

e.g.

                int[,] mytable = new int[10, 5];

The do- while-loop statement is used perform a piece of code multiple times as long as the condition set is evaluated to true. It executes code at least once. Its syntax is:

do

{

                //code to execute

}

while(<condition>);

The switch statement is used to add condition to a piece of code. Its syntax is:

switch(<expression>)

                case <expression result>:

                                //code to execute

                                break;

                case <expression result>:

                                //code to execute

                                Break;

                .

                .

                .

                default:

                                //code to execute if there are no matching case

                                break;

expression – could be anything that would result in a value that would get evaluated in each of the cases.

The if-else-if statement is used to add multiple condition to a piece of code. Sort of like a chained if-else statement Its syntax is: 

if(<condition>)
     //code
else if(<condition>)
     // any other code
else
     //this code will execute if there are no matching conditions

Condition – could be anything that would result in a true or false. If only runs the code inside its braces when the condition is true. If the condition fails or evaluates to false the code under the else will get executed.
