GetUpperBound() Method is used to find the index of the last element of the specified dimension in the array.
Syntax:
public int GetUpperBound (int dimension);
Here, dimension is a zero-based dimension of the array whose upper bound needs to be determined.
Return Value:The return type of this method is System.Int32. This method returns the index of the last element of the specified dimension in the array Or -1 if the specified dimension is empty.
Exception: This method will give IndexOutOfRangeException if the value of dimension is less than zero, or equal or greater than Rank.
Note: GetUpperBound(0) returns the last index in the first dimension of the array, and GetUpperBound(Rank – 1) returns the last index of the last dimension of the array. This method is an O(1) operation.
Below programs illustrate the use of GetUpperBound() Method:
Example 1:
// C# program to illustrate the GetUpperBound(Int32) // method in 1-D array using System;
public class GFG {
// Main method
static public void Main()
{
// 1-D Array
int [] value = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
// Get the index of the last element
// in the given Array by using
// GetUpperBound(Int32) method
int myvalue = value.GetUpperBound(0);
Console.WriteLine( "Index: {0}" , myvalue);
}
} |
Index: 6
Example 2:
// C# program to find last index // value and rank of 2-D array using System;
public class GFG {
// Main method
static public void Main()
{
// 2-D char Array
char [, ] value = { { 'a' , 'b' }, { 'c' , 'd' },
{ 'e' , 'f' }, { 'g' , 'h' },
{ 'i' , 'j' } };
// Get the index of the last element
// and the rank of the given Array
int myvalue = value.GetUpperBound(0);
Console.WriteLine( "Dimension: {0}" , value.Rank);
Console.WriteLine( "Index: {0}" , myvalue);
}

Dimension: 2 Index: 4
