Auto-initializing C# lists

Question

I am creating a new C# List (List). Is there a way, other than to do a loop over the list, to initialize all the starting values to 0?

Answer 1

One possibility is to use Enumerable.Range:

int capacity;
var list = Enumerable.Range(0, capacity).Select(i => 0d).ToList();

Another is:

int capacity;
var list = new List(new double[capacity]);
