What is the difference between Array.Clone and Array.Copy Method

Array.Clone Method:

1).Creates a shallow copy of the Array.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2). Remarks

A shallow copy of an Array copies only the elements of the Array, whether they are reference types or value types, but it does not copy the objects that the references refer to. The references in the new Array point to the same objects that the references in the original Array point to.

In contrast, a deep copy of an Array copies the elements and everything directly or indirectly referenced by the elements.

The clone is of the same Type as the original Array.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Length. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Array.Copy Method  

1 ). Copies a range of elements in one Array to another Array and performs type casting and boxing as required.

	Name	Description
	Copy(Array, Array, Int32)	Copies a range of elements from an Array starting at the first element and pastes them into another Array starting at the first element. The length is specified as a 32-bit integer.
	Copy(Array, Array, Int64)	Copies a range of elements from an Array starting at the first element and pastes them into another Array starting at the first element. The length is specified as a 64-bit integer.
	Copy(Array, Int32, Array, Int32, Int32)	Copies a range of elements from an Array starting at the specified source index and pastes them to another Array starting at the specified destination index. The length and the indexes are specified as 32-bit integers.
	Copy(Array, Int64, Array, Int64, Int64)	Copies a range of elements from an Array starting at the specified source index and pastes them to another Array starting at the specified destination index. The length and the indexes are specified as 64-bit integers.
