C# Splitting An Array

Question

I need to split an array of indeterminate size, at the midpoint, into two separate arrays.

The array is generated from a list of strings using ToArray().

<         


        

Answer 1

I also want to add a solution to split an array into several smaller arrays containing a determined number of cells.

A nice way would be to create a generic/extension method to split any array. This is mine:

/// 

/// Splits an array into several smaller arrays.
/// 
/// The type of the array.
/// The array to split.
/// The size of the smaller arrays.
/// An array containing smaller arrays.
public static IEnumerable> Split(this T[] array, int size)
{
    for (var i = 0; i < (float)array.Length / size; i++)
    {
        yield return array.Skip(i * size).Take(size);
    }
}

Moreover, this solution is deferred. Then, simply call split(size) on your array.

var array = new byte[] {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
var splitArray = array.Split(2);

Have fun :)
