How, using C#, can I create a new string[] from another string[] containing a subsection of the old string[] array?
For example, if I had:
string[] a = { "cat", "dog", "hamster", "parrot" }
And I wanted to get everything after the first element I should get:
string[] b = { "dog", "hamster", "parrot" }
How, if this is even possible without a for loop, do I achieve this?
You can use some extensions methods to solve it, that is the case for Skip(int) under the System.Linq namespace, for sample:
string[] b = a.Skip(1).ToArray();
And it will skip 1 element and convert the result into a new array. Remember to add the namespace:
using System.Linq;
As the MSDN documentation said:
Bypasses a specified number of elements in a sequence and then returns the remaining elements.
