Convert string[] to int[] in one line of code using LINQ

by

Given an array you can use the Array.ConvertAll method:

int[] myInts = Array.ConvertAll(arr, s => int.Parse(s));

Thanks to Marc Gravell for pointing out that the lambda can be omitted, yielding a shorter version shown below:

int[] myInts = Array.ConvertAll(arr, int.Parse);

A LINQ solution is similar, except you would need the extra ToArray call to get an array:

int[] myInts = arr.Select(int.Parse).ToArray();
