list.Add("pa");
foreach (string s in list)

Console.WriteLine(s);
}
Console.WriteLine(list.Capacity);
Console.WriteLine("Enter the name which you want to search: \t");
string a = Convert.ToString(Console.ReadLine());
int b = list.BinarySearch(a);
Console.WriteLine(b);
if (b >= 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("List is contains the Name");
