C# | Check if the BitArray is synchronized (thread safe) (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 01 Feb, 2019

The BitArray class manages a compact array of bit values, which are represented as Booleans, where true indicates that the bit is on i.e, 1 and false indicates the bit is off i.e, 0. This class is contained in System.Collections namespace. BitArray.IsSynchronized property is used to get a value indicating whether access to the BitArray is synchronized (thread safe) or not.Properties:

The BitArray class is a collection class in which the capacity is always the same as the count.
Elements are added to a BitArray by increasing the Length property.
Elements are deleted by decreasing the Length property.
Elements in this collection can be accessed using an integer index. Indexes in this collection are zero-based.

Syntax:

public bool IsSynchronized { get; }

Return Value: This property is always false.Example:

CSHARP `

// C# code to check if the BitArray // is synchronized (thread safe) using System; using System.Collections;

class GFG {

// Driver code
public static void Main()
{

    // Creating a BitArray
    BitArray myBitArr = new BitArray(7, true);

    // The following code example shows how
    // to lock the collection using the SyncRoot
    // during the entire enumeration.
    lock(myBitArr.SyncRoot)
    {
        foreach(object item in myBitArr)
        {
            // Insert your code here.
            Console.WriteLine("GeeksforGeeks");
        }
    }
}

}

Output:

GeeksforGeeks GeeksforGeeks GeeksforGeeks GeeksforGeeks GeeksforGeeks GeeksforGeeks GeeksforGeeks

Note: This method is an O(1) operation.Reference:
