copy part of an array into another array

Question

if i have:

string[] myArray =  . . . .

which is an array with a length of 10. how can i create a new string array that is the 2nd to 10th elements of the first array without looping?

Answer 1

Use System.Array.Copy:

string[] myArray = ....
string[] copy = new string[10];
Array.Copy(myArray, 2, copy, 0, 10);    

Answer 2

Array.Copy

(But note, it will be looping under the covers, just optimally so).

Example.

Answer 3

   // Copies the last two elements from the Object array to the Int32 array.
   Array::Copy( myObjArray, myObjArray->GetUpperBound(0) - 1, myIntArray, myIntArray->GetUpperBound(0) - 1, 

Look: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.array.copy%28VS.71%29.aspx

Array.Copy( myIntArray, myIntArray.GetLowerBound(0), myObjArray, myObjArray.GetLowerBound(0), 1 );
