  • 0

I need to move backwards through an array, so I have code like this:

for (int i = myArray.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {     // Do something     myArray[i] = 42; } 

Is there a better way of doing this?

Update: I was hoping that maybe C# had some built-in mechanism for this like:

foreachbackwards (int i in myArray) {     // so easy }

    While admittedly a bit obscure, I would say that the most typographically pleasing way of doing this is

    for (int i = myArray.Length; i --> 0; ) {     //do something }
