How to create a shallow copy of BitArray in C# Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article 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 Comment More infoAdvertise with us K Kirti_Mangal Follow Improve Article Tags : C# CSharp-method CSharp-Collections-Namespace CSharp-Collections-BitArray Explore IntroductionC# Tutorial 4 min read Introduction to .NET Framework 6 min read C# .NET Framework (Basic Architecture and Component Stack) 6 min read C# Hello World 4 min read Common Language Runtime (CLR) in C# 4 min read FundamentalsC# Identifiers 2 min read C# Data Types 7 min read C# Variables 4 min read C# Literals 5 min read C# Operators 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 C# Loops 4 min read C# Jump Statements (Break, Continue, Goto, Return and Throw) 4 min read OOP ConceptsC# Class and Objects 5 min read C# Constructors 5 min read C# Inheritance 6 min read C# Encapsulation 4 min read C# Abstraction 4 min read MethodsC# Methods 4 min read C# Method Overloading 4 min read C# | Method Parameters 7 min read C# Method Overriding 9 min read Anonymous Method in C# 3 min read ArraysC# Arrays 8 min read C# Jagged Arrays 4 min read C# Array Class 7 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 C# ArrayList Class 7 min read C# | Array vs ArrayList 2 min read StringC# Strings 7 min read C# Verbatim String Literal - @ 5 min read C# String Class 9 min read C# StringBuilder 4 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 4 min read C# Multidimensional Indexers 5 min read C# - Overloading of Indexers 3 min read Like
