So I couldn't seem to figure this out. In the following code:
int[] array1 = { 86, 66, 76, 92, 95, 88 };
int[] array2 = new int[6];
array2 = array1;
When array2 is "copying" the values of array1, is it creating new memory references or is it referencing the same memory index as the values in array1?
Arrays are reference types, therefore you are assigning the same reference.
Array types are reference types derived from the abstract base type
Array.
If you want to create a deep copy, you can use Array.Copy:
int[] array1 = { 86, 66, 76, 92, 95, 88 };
int[] array2 = new int[array1.Length];
Array.Copy(array1, array2, array1.Length);
Arrays are of reference type. You can easily check this yourself
array2[1] = 2;
Console.WriteLine(array1[1]); // will print out 2
When you change one you change the other because both point to (reference) the same memory location.
It is referencing the same array. So if you change a value in array1 it will also be changed in array2.
