The Clone method is an extension method for the Dictionary<TKey, TValue> class. It creates a shallow copy of the specified dictionary, returning a new dictionary instance with the same key-value pairs as the original.
The Clone method is an extension method for the Dictionary<TKey, TValue> class. It creates a shallow copy of the specified dictionary, returning a new dictionary instance with the same key-value pairs as the original.
To use the Clone method, call it on an existing Dictionary<TKey, TValue> instance. This will return a new dictionary containing the same elements as the original.
// Example usage of the Clone method
Dictionary<int, string> originalDict = new Dictionary<int, string>
{
{ 1, "One" },
{ 2, "Two" },
{ 3, "Three" }
};
// Clone the original dictionary
Dictionary<int, string> clonedDict = originalDict.Clone();
// Verify that the cloned dictionary contains the same elements
foreach (var kvp in clonedDict)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Key: {kvp.Key}, Value: {kvp.Value}");
}
