How to create a single diminsional array starting from index 1 instead of zero

Emmad Kareem 81

I am trying to create an single diminsion array that starts from 1 and ends at 7.
I tried this:

    Int32[] lowerBounds = {1};
    Int32[] lengths = {7};
    Int32[] Julia = (Int32[])
    Array.CreateInstance(typeof(Int32), lengths, lowerBounds);

But it generated a run-time error:
System.InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int32[*]' to type 'System.Int32[]'.'

Any suggestions? Thnak you.

For example =>

Array myArray = Array.CreateInstance(typeof(int), new[] { 7 }, new[] { 1 });

Thank you for your help. Do you know why the other code in the question did not work?

You're trying to cast the return to a type that is not valid.

Your code would work if you just change the type of the receiving
variable and eliminate the cast:

Int32[] lowerBounds = { 1 }; Int32[] lengths = { 7 }; //Int32[] Julia = (Int32[]) Array Julia = Array.CreateInstance(typeof(Int32), lengths, lowerBounds);
