Answer 1

Due to the nature of c# arrays, they are static and cannot be resized. that is why you are getting the error when trying to insert a value into a memory location not belonging to the values array you created

• it sounds like what you are looking for is something like this, per Caius Jard's comment

char[] array = Console.ReadLine().ToCharArray();
