In C#, all collection types use some common interfaces. These common interfaces define the basic functionality for each collection class.
IEnumerable interface acts as a base interface for all the collection classes.IEnumerable is further extended by ICollection. ICollection is also further
extended by IDictionary.
IEnumerable Interface: IEnumerable interface provides an enumerator
which supports a simple iteration over a non-generic collections.
ICollection Interface: ICollection interface defines size, enumerators and
synchronization methods for all non-generic collections.
IDictionary Interfaces: IDictionary interface represents a non-generic
collection of key/value pair.
IList Interface: IList interface represents a non-generic collection of objects
that can be individually accessed by index.
All collection interfaces are not implemented by all the collection
classes. It’s depends on the collection nature. For example, IDictionary
interface will be implemented by only those collection classes which
supports key/value pairs like Hashtable and SortedList etc.
