What’s the difference between the System.Array.CopyTo() and System.Array.Clone() ?

Answer 1

The Clone() method returns a new array (a shallow copy) object containing all the elements in the original array. The CopyTo()method copies the elements into another existing array. Both perform a shallow copy. A shallow copy means the contents (each array element) contains references to the same object as the elements in the original array. A deep copy (which neither of these methods performs) would create a new instance of each element's object, resulting in a different, yet identical object

Answer 2

Clone is your cloning the existing array as it is, so its same reference. CopyTo is cloning the array but then moving it.
