What is difference between clone and copyTo method?

The Clone() method returns a new array (a shallow copy) object containing all the elements in the original array. The CopyTo() method copies the elements into another existing array. Both perform a shallow copy. A shallow copy means the contents (each array element) contains references to the same object as the elements in the original array. A deep copy would create a new instance of each element's object, resulting in a different, yet identacle object.

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

The CopyTo() method copies the elements into another existing array. It copies the elements of one array to another pre-existing array starting from a given index (usually 0).

Both perform a shallow copy.
