c# convert string array to 2 dimensional char array

Question

I need to convert a string array into a 2 dimensional char array

Example: My string array looks like

string[] months = {"January", "February", "March"....};

I want to convert it into a char[,] something like this (not sure about syntax)

char[][] = {
    {'J','a','n','u','a','r','y'},
    {'F','e','b','r','u','a','r','y'},
    {'M','a','r','c','h'}
};

what is the best way to achieve this?

Answer 1

You can do this:

string[] months = { "January", "February", "March" };
char[][] result = months.Select(item => item.ToArray()).ToArray();

Answer 2

Try like this,

string[] months = {"January", "February", "March"};

char[][] jaggedOfChar =new char[3][];

for (int i = 0; i < months.Length; i++)
{
    char[] s = months[i].ToCharArray();
    jaggedOfChar[i] = s;
}
