C# - What's the value of "str"? Why its length is 5?

Question

Console.WriteLine(str);
Console.WriteLine(str.Length);

Answer 1

Have a look at this sample code I made.

I think you are confused, because str is not a string

Answer 2

["", "Solo", "", "Learn", ""]

Imagine the opposite operation: joining all the array elements with a "-".

Answer 3

Having a hard time wrapping my head around the split method :)
