How to convert List<List<int>> to an array of arrays

Question

What is the best way to convert a list into an array of type int[][]?

List<List<int>> lst = new List<List<int>>();

Answer 1

int[][] arrays = lst.Select(a => a.ToArray()).ToArray(); 

Answer 2

It's easy with LINQ:

lst.Select(l => l.ToArray()).ToArray() 

If you really wanted two-dimentional array (int[,], not int[][]), that would be more difficult and the best solution would probably be using nested fors.

Answer 3

you can easily do it using linq.

int[][] arrays = lst.Select(a => a.ToArray()).ToArray();

but if you want another way you can loop through the list and manually generate the 2d array.
