c# Leaner way of initializing int array

Question

Having the following code is there a leaner way of initializing the array from 1 to the number especified by a variable?

int nums=5;
int[] array= new int[num         


        

Answer 1

int[] array = Enumerable.Range(0, nums).ToArray();

Answer 2

Maybe I'm missing something here, but here is the best way I know of:

int[] data = new int [] { 383, 484, 392, 975, 321 };

from MSDN

even simpler:

int[] data = { 383, 484, 392, 975, 321 };

Answer 3

Using Enumerable.Range

int[] array = Enumerable.Range(0, nums).ToArray();

Answer 4

Use Enumerable.Range() method instead of. Don't forget to add System.Linq namespace. But this could spend little bit high memory. You can use like;

int[] array = Enumerable.Range(0, nums).ToArray();

Generates a sequence of integral numbers within a specified range.
