Convert List to Array Using For-Loop
The simplest way to convert a List to an array is to use a for-loop. The following code snippet demonstrates this method. First, the code creates an Array based on the number of elements in the input List. A for-loop is then used which iterates through the input List and adds each element of the List to an Array. Finally,...
