Copying 2D arrays

[Chrissirhc]

Hello I have to copy arrays many times

my array is this format
byte[][] myArray = new [3000][3000];

You can see that my arrays are quite large. I know there is a method copy array but I am on the understanding that this only for 1 dimensional arrays. I can copy the array using for loops. But.... is there a quick way to copy an array of this type [][]. By quicker I mean in processing time.

Cheers

Chris

You can use the clone method on the array to copy :

byte[][] myArray = new byte[3000][3000];
...
byte anotherArray[][] = (byte[][]) myArray.clone ();
...

I did not realise this. This is faster than copying manual I assume.

Apparently clone does not work for array objects
