C# ASCIIEncoding GetCharCount(Byte[], Int32, Int32)

Description

ASCIIEncoding GetCharCount(Byte[], Int32, Int32) Calculates the number of characters produced by decoding a sequence of bytes from the specified byte array.

Syntax

ASCIIEncoding.GetCharCount(Byte[], Int32, Int32) has the following syntax.

public override int GetCharCount(
  byte[] bytes,/* w  w  w.java 2 s . c  om*/
  int index,
  int count
)

Parameters

ASCIIEncoding.GetCharCount(Byte[], Int32, Int32) has the following parameters.

• bytes - The byte array containing the sequence of bytes to decode.
• index - The index of the first byte to decode.
• count - The number of bytes to decode.

Returns

ASCIIEncoding.GetCharCount(Byte[], Int32, Int32) method returns The number of characters produced by decoding the specified sequence of bytes.

Example

using System;/*from w w  w. j ava2s .  com*/
using System.Text;

class ASCIIEncodingExample {
    public static void Main() {
        Byte[] bytes = new Byte[] {
             65,  83,  67,  73,  73,  32,  69,
            110,  99, 111, 100, 105, 110, 103,
             32,  69, 120,  97, 109, 112, 108, 101
        };

        ASCIIEncoding ascii = new ASCIIEncoding();
        int charCount = ascii.GetCharCount(bytes, 6, 8);
        Console.WriteLine(
            "{0} characters needed to decode bytes.", charCount
        );
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
