Merging params and IList<T> constructors

Question

Is there any way to merge these two constructors into one? Basically they accept the same array of Point3D type.

public Curve(int degree, params Point3D[] points) {} 

public Curve(int degree, IList<Point3D> points) {}

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you want to have 2 different constructors you can:

public Curve(int degree, params Point3D[] points) : this(degree, (IList<Point3D>)points) { }
public Curve(int degree, IList<Point3D> points) { }

Or if you want only one constructor lets say the first then you can initialize like this:

new Curve(0,new List<Point3D>().ToArray());

By having one constructor calling the other you don't need to duplicate all your logic and you still enable both formats of initialization.

Though Array implements IList<T> one cannot remove the (IList<Point3D) due to compile error of: compiler ...... cannot call itself
