The concise way to initialize an array of reference type object

Question

I wonder if there is better way to initialize an array of reference type object, like this.

Queue[] queues = new Queue[10];
for (int i         


        

Answer 1

No, there isn't. Just factor it out into a utility method:

// CommonExtensions.cs
public static T[] NewArray (int length) where T : class, new ()
{
    var result = new T[length] ;
    for (int i = 0 ; i < result.Length ; ++i)
         result[i] = new T () ;
    return result ;
}

// elsewhere
var queues = Extensions.NewArray> (10) ;
