difference between array and array list in c#

1.The capacity of an Array is fixed. 
Where as, ArrayList can increase and decrease size dynamically.
 
2.An Array is a collection of similar items. 
Where as, ArrayList can hold item of different types.
 
3.Array is in the System namespace. 
Where as, ArrayList is in the System.Collections namespace.
 
4.An Array can have multiple dimensions. 
Where as, ArrayList always has exactly one dimension.
 
We can set the lower bound of an Array. 
Where as, the lower bound of an ArrayList is always zero.
 
 Array is faster and that is because ArrayList uses a fixed amount of array. 
However when you add an element to the ArrayList and it overflows. It creates a new Array and copies every element from the old one to the new one. 
You will only feel this if you add to often.

difference between var and dynamic c#

  Programming languages can normally be considered to be either statically typed or dynamically typed. A static (not to be confused with the static keyword, used for classes) typed language validates the syntax or checks for any errors during the compilation of the code. On the other hand, dynamically typed languages validate the syntax or checks for errors only at run time. For example, C# and Java are a static type and JavaScript is a dynamically typed language. C# was previously considered to be a statically typed language, since all the code written was validated at the compile time itself. But, with the introduction of the dynamic keyword in C# 4.0, it became a dynamic typed language also. The two concepts of static and dynamic types in C# can be illustrated with the use of the two keywords named var and dynamic. Let's discuss some basic differences between these two, based on some of their characteristics. When were they introduced var was int
