SortedList class is a collection of
(key, value) pairs which are sorted according to keys. Those pairs can be accessible by key and as well as by index(zero-based indexing). This comes under
System.Collections namespace.
SortedList.Remove(Object) method is used to remove the element with the specified key from a SortedList object.
Properties:
- A SortedList element can be accessed by its key or by its index.
- A SortedList object internally maintains two arrays to store the elements of the list, i.e, one array for the keys and another array for the associated values.
- A key cannot be null, but a value can be.
- The capacity of a SortedList object is the number of elements the SortedList can hold.
- A SortedList does not allow duplicate keys.
- Operations on a SortedList object tend to be slower than operations on a Hashtable object because of the sorting.
- Elements in this collection can be accessed using an integer index. Indexes in this collection are zero-based.
Syntax :
public virtual void Remove (object key);
Here,
key is the key of the element to remove.
Exceptions:
- NotSupportedException : If the SortedList object is read-only or the SortedList has a fixed size.
- ArgumentNullException : If the key is null.
Below given are some examples to understand the implementation in a better way:
Example 1:
Output:
Key = CH
Key = GER
Key = IN
Key = NY
Key = UK
Key = CHINA
Key = GERMANY
Key = INDIA
Key = NEW-YORK
Key = UNITED KINGDOM
Removing element having key as UK
Key = CH
Key = GER
Key = IN
Key = NY
Key = CHINA
Key = GERMANY
Key = INDIA
Key = NEW-YORK
