How to create a new collection of objects using the contents of two other collections without a nest-CodePudding

I need to create a collection of objects using the contents of an array of Guids and a collection of strings. It's easy enough to do using nested loops such as

Guid[] guids;
string[] names;
NewObject[] combined;

foreach(Guid g in guids) {
    foreach(string name in names) {
      combined.Add(new NewObject() {
          Guid = g, Name = name
      }
    }
  }

What I'm wondering is if there's a way that I could do this without the nested loop. I've been wracking my brain to try to figure out a way, but can't come up with one.

Try with Enumerable.Zip:

Guid[] guids;
string[] names;
NewObject[] combined;

var combinedObjects = Enumerable.Zip<Guid, string, NewObject>(guids, names, (guid, name) => new NewObject {Guid = guid, Name = name});

First of all, arrays should be of the same size. and then you can run a single for loop to set the object, there is no need for two for loops.

NewObject[] combined = new NewObject[guids.Length];

for (int i = 0; i < guids.Length; i  )
{
    combined[i] = new NewObject { Guid = guids[i], Name = names[i] };
}
