How to remove the first element in an array? [duplicate]

Question

I have an array:

arr[0]="a"   arr[1]="b"   arr[2]="a"   

I want to remove only arr[0], and keep arr[1] and arr[2].
I was using:

arr= arr.Where(w => w != arr[0]).ToArray();   

Since arr[0] and arr[2] have the same value ("a"), the result I'm getting is only arr[1].

How can I return both arr[1] and arr[2], and only remove arr[0]?

Answer 1

You can easily do that using Skip:

arr = arr.Skip(1).ToArray();   

This creates another array with new elements like in other answers. It's because you can't remove from or add elements to an array. Arrays have a fixed size.
