clone an array java code example

Example 1: java copy array

// Shallow copy
int[] src = {1,2,3,4,5};
int[] dst = Arrays.copyOf(src, src.length);

// Deep copy
int[] dst2 = new int[src.length];
for(int i = 0; i < src.length; i++){
	dst2[i] = src[i];
}

Example 2: javascript clone object

var sheep={"height":20,"name":"Melvin"};
var clonedSheep=JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(sheep));

//note: cloning like this will not work with some complex objects such as:  Date(), undefined, Infinity
// For complex objects try: lodash's cloneDeep() method or angularJS angular.copy() method

Example 3: how to copy array in java

// method 
public static int [] copyArray(int [] arr){
      int [] copyArr = new int[arr.length];
      for (int i = 0; i < copyArr.length; i++){
            copyArr[i] = arr[i];
       }
      return copyArr;
}

// Arrays. method 
int[] copyCat = Arrays.copyOf(arr, arr.length);

// System 
System.arraycopy(x,0,y,0,5); // 5 is array's length 

// clone 
y = x.clone();
