Thread: How do i copy this single dimension array?

***000***
***000***
***000***

pixels1[] =
(***000******000******000***)
I need to copy the star values

******

pixels2[] =
(******************)
Into a shorter array

Needs to be flexible i.e

****0000****
****0000****
****0000****
****0000****

copy of 1 dimensional[] (theoretically 2d) based on height from pixels1[] --> pixels2[]

I don't know if this makes any sense, but any ideas would be helpful. There has to be some algorithm for it, but i can figure it out. Extra: how does one generate an algorithm for stuff like this?

Eliminating the zeros? Count the zeros and create a new array that contains only the correct number of asterisks.

there is no ryme or reason to the values, i just used stars and zeroes

i need to copy and array from array1 --> array2
array1--> /----\ height(5)
{xxxxxyyyyyxxxxx xxxxxyyyyyxxxxx xxxxxyyyyyxxxxx xxxxxyyyyyxxxxx xxxxxyyyyyxxxxx}
array2
{xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx}

i can get the height and width of both the arrays too

There does appear to be a rhyme or reason to every example you've posted, but if that was a mistake, then start by using the Arrays methods to do what you need and go from there. You can find an explanation of the available methods on the Arrays API page.
