Set array key as string not int?

I know you can do something like
$array["string"] in php but can you also do something like this in C# instead of using arrays with numbers?

Answer 1

Arrays in PHP are in reality more like dictionaries in C#. So yes, you can do this, using a Dictionary<string, YourValueType>:

var dict = new Dictionary<string, int>();
dict["hello"] = 42;
dict["world"] = 12;
