Question

Okay, so this seems simple, but I can’t think of a straightforward solution;
Basically I have an object array in C# that contains, say, 102 elements. I then also have 4 other empty arrays. I want to iterate through the original array and distribute the 100 elements evenly, then distribute 101 and 102 to the 1st and 2nd new arrays respectively.

int i = 1,a=0, b=0, c=0, d = 0;

foreach (ReviewStatus data in routingData)
{
    if (i == 1)
    {
        threadOneWork[a] = data;
        a++;
    }
    if (i == 2)
    {
        threadTwoWork[b] = data;
        b++;
    }
    if (i == 3)
    {
        threadThreeWork[c] = data;
        c++;
    }
    if (i == 4)
    {
        threadFourWork[d] = data;
        d++;
        i = 0;
    }
    i++;

}

Now the above code definitely works, but I was curious, does anybody know of a better way to do this??

Answer 1

var workArrays = new[] { 
    threadOneWork,
    threadTwoWork,
    threadThreeWork,
    threadFourWork, 
};

for(int i=0; i<routingData.Length; i++) {
    workArrays[i%4][i/4] = routingData[i];
}
