How to create a shallow copy of BitArray in C# Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025 Comments Improve Suggest changes 1 Likes Like Report BitArray.Clone() Method is used to create a shallow copy of the specified BitArray. A shallow copy of a collection copies only the elements of the collection irrespective of reference types or value types. But it does not copy the objects that the references refer to. The references in the new collection point to the same objects that the references in the original collection point to. Syntax: public object Clone (); Example: csharp // C# code to illustrate the use // of BitArray.Clone Method using System; using System.Collections; public class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main(String[] args) { // Creating an empty BitArray BitArray bit1 = new BitArray(4); // Initializing values in bit1 bit1[0] = false; bit1[1] = false; bit1[2] = true; bit1[3] = true; // Displaying the list Console.WriteLine("Elements of Original BitArray: \n"); // calling function Result(bit1); // using Clone() method BitArray bit2 = (BitArray)bit1.Clone(); // Displaying the Cloned BitArray Console.WriteLine("\nElements of Cloned BitArray: \n"); // calling function Result(bit2); // checking for the equality // of References bit1 and bit2 Console.WriteLine("\nReference Equals: {0}", Object.ReferenceEquals(bit1, bit2)); } // method to display the values public static void Result(IEnumerable bit) { // This method prints all the // elements in the BitArray. foreach(Object obj in bit) Console.WriteLine(obj); } } Output: Elements of Original BitArray: False False True True Elements of Cloned BitArray: False False True True Reference Equals: False Create Quiz Comment K Kirti_Mangal Follow 1 Improve K Kirti_Mangal Follow 1 Improve Article Tags : C# CSharp-method CSharp-Collections-Namespace CSharp-Collections-BitArray Explore IntroductionC# Tutorial 2 min read Introduction to .NET Framework 6 min read C# .NET Framework (Basic Architecture and Component Stack) 6 min read C# Hello World 2 min read Common Language Runtime (CLR) in C# 4 min read FundamentalsC# Identifiers 2 min read Data Types in C# 6 min read C# Variables 4 min read C# Literals 5 min read Operators in C# 7 min read C# Keywords 5 min read Control StatementsC# Decision Making (if, if-else, if-else-if ladder, nested if, switch, nested switch) 5 min read C# Switch Statement 4 min read Loops in C# 4 min read C# Jump Statements (Break, Continue, Goto, Return and Throw) 4 min read OOP ConceptsClass and Objects in C# 4 min read Constructors in C# 5 min read C# Inheritance 3 min read Encapsulation in C# 2 min read C# Abstraction 4 min read MethodsMethods in C# 4 min read Method Overloading in C# 4 min read Method Parameters in C# 4 min read Method Overriding in C# 7 min read Anonymous Method in C# 2 min read ArraysArrays in C# 6 min read Jagged Arrays in C# 4 min read Array Class in C# 5 min read How to Sort an Array in C# | Array.Sort() Method Set - 1 8 min read How to find the rank of an array in C# 2 min read ArrayListArrayList in C# 6 min read ArrayList Class in C# 4 min read C# | Array vs ArrayList 2 min read StringStrings in C# 6 min read C# Verbatim String Literal - @ 5 min read C# String Class 9 min read C# StringBuilder 2 min read C# String vs StringBuilder 3 min read TupleC# Tuple 7 min read C# Tuple Class 3 min read C# ValueTuple 7 min read C# ValueTuple Struct 4 min read IndexersC# Indexers 5 min read C# Multidimensional Indexers 5 min read C# - Overloading of Indexers 3 min read Like
