C Arrays Designated Initializer in C#

Using an ellipses, ..., as was asked and answered here, allows you to initialize many indices of a C array to the same value.

Obviously this is a very useful shorthand for having all, or specific indices, of an array be a certain value, as the code required to do so is extremely short.

Is there a similar method of doing that in C#?

Let's say that I have a char array named charArray whose length is 50. If I wanted to have all indices to be 'h', I would have to do something like this, to my knowledge:

char[] charArray = new char[50];
for(int i = 0; i < charArray.Length; i++)
    charArray[i] = 'h';

Can I shorten this code segment any further?

If so, how would I go about doing that?

Initializing array in for loop will be the most performant way in c# – Dipen Shah Aug 18 '18 at 02:19

@MineR noted. I edited the loop and `charArray` should be assigned values now. – absoluteAquarian Aug 18 '18 at 02:31
