Hello,
How do I bin and zero fill an array? For example:
I have an array:
double[] data = [1.2,2.9,5.9,7] (which is 4 elements long and I want to create an array that is:
new double[10] (10 elements long)

I want to bin and zero fill using integers of 1. The result should look like this:
result = [0,1.2,0,2.9,0,5.9,7,0,0,0]

What I have tried:

I have tried exactly nothing which is why I'm asking the question

What does "bin" have to do with this? It doesn't look like a binning problem.

So, apparently, the result should contain alternating zeros and values from data, starting with a zero, and filling to the end with zero, right?

So, how would you do it if you had two stacks of paper, one with 4 sheets with the values of data and one with 6 (10-4) sheets with zeros, and were going to make a single pile of paper in the same sequence as you want for result?
That's what your code needs to do.

This is really pretty straightforward.
Hint: You don't need actually to deal with the zeros. When you use new double[10] to assign to result, C# has guaranteed to have filled it with zeros.

So ... are there "edge cases" that you haven't specified (or thought about)?
For example:
What if data.Length is greater than half of

result.Length<br />

?
