merge array c# code example

Example 1: c# merging two arrays

T[] array1 = getOneArray();
T[] array2 = getAnotherArray();
T[] newArray = new T[array1.Length + array2.Length];
Array.Copy(array1, newArray, array1.Length);
Array.Copy(array2, 0, newArray, array1.Length, array2.Length);

Example 2: c# add 2 arrays

public static int[] AddArrays(int[] a, int[] b)
{
    int[] newArray = new int[a.Length];
    for (int i = 0; i<a.Length; i++)
    {
        newArray[i]=a[i]+b[i];
    }
    return newArray;
}

Example 3: c# merge two lists

// Create your object
public class A { int Id { get; set; } A() { } A(int id) { Id = id;} }
public class B { int Id { get; set; } B() { } B(int id) { Id = id;} }

// Construct your lists
List<A> list = new List<A>() { new A( Id = 1 ), new A( Id = 2 ) };
List<B> list1 = new List<B>() { new B( Id = 3 ), new B( Id = 4 ) };

// Then create a linq query and convert the result to a list
List<object> all = (from x in list select (object)x).ToList();

// Now add the second list to the end of the last one
all.AddRange((from x in list1 select (object)x).ToList());

// You can use this new list to loop it like this
foreach (object item in all)
{
	// If you want to check which object we are looping you do this:
	bool obj1 = item is A;
	// Now you can cast the item to your object in a conditional operator
	Console.WriteLine(obj1 ? (item as A).Id : (item as B).Id);

	// Output:
	// 1
	// 2
  	// 3
  	// 4
}
