Question by DarkSlash · May 16, 2012 at 06:36 PM · arrayarrays

Copying a multidimensional array

I have 2 multidimensional array, both of the same size. I need to copy the content from one to another. Is there a better way for doing that than this one??

 for(var i : int = 0; i < cols; i++) {
      for(var j : int = 0; j < rows; j++) {
           myArr1[i][j] = myArr2[i][j];
       }
 }



EDIT: Im using JS.

So am I (it's obvious from your code). I guess you're not actually using multidimensional arrays, ins$$anonymous$$d you are using Arrays of Arrays. Which is bad. ;) Use multidimensional arrays ins$$anonymous$$d.

Why is it bad to use arrays of arrays?

There are some cases where it is useful...
