Array Split without using LINQ?

Question

I wrote a method that splits a one dimensional string array of x elements into individual one element arrays. The purpose was to see if I could count the characters in each individual element by index in the original string array. To do this I used LINQ methods, but I keep wondering how you would do it with basic Array methods if you decided to. Lines 93 - 106 are the method in question.

I keep thinking it must be some mixture of IndexOf and ToString but I’m not sure. Any insight is very appreciated!

Answer 1

It's a bit erracic what you do in that method.
If you only want to know the number of characters in each string, then just use the names[i].Length property.
If you want to create a subarray of the names, then declare another array and you can use Array.Copy() method to copy part of the original array.
string[] someNames = new string[2];
Array.Copy(names, 1, someNames, 0, 2);

This would copy two names from the first array, starting index 1.

Answer 2

I was led to believe in order to find the length of each string in the array, I would have to isolate it on own, by index. It seems Ive gone and over complicated it 😅

Youre the best. The LINQ function was never needed at all.
