### Answer by Ravi Vishwakarma

Yes, we can store multiple types of [data](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23186/how-becoming-a-data-analyst-can-be-a-lucrative-career) in C# using the collection. System.Collections namespace provides this feature to store multiple types of data in C#. This namespace has some classes to provide this feature.

1. ArrayList
2. Stack
3. Queue
4. Hashtable

**Example**

```
using System;
using System.Collections;
public class Program
{
 public static void Main()
 {
  ArrayList list=new ArrayList();
  list.Add(45);
  list.Add('Ram');
  list.Add('M');
  list.Add(15.23);
  list.Add(Convert.ToByte(12));
  foreach(var item in list)
  Console.WriteLine('Item : '+item+' Type : '+item.GetType().Name);
 }
}
```

## Output

```
Item : 45 Type : Int32
Item : Ram Type : String
Item : M Type : Char
Item : 15.23 Type : Double
Item : 12 Type : Byte
```
