Question

I have a string of 9 space-separated integers, like "3 4 6 9 8 8 2 3 4", which I want to convert to a 3×3 int Array.

A simple solution is to do two loops over a new matrix and convert string values
as I go. Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Answer 1

Using my Split extension from Split a collection into `n` parts with LINQ?

var nums = s.Split(' ').Select(n=>Int32.Parse(n)).ToList();
var grid = nums.Split(nums.Count / 3);
