String.Clone() give pointer value(ie Current memory Reference)

String.Clone() Create an instance in Heap Memory and give pointer value(ie New Memory Reference)

Clone will copy the structure of a data where as Copy will copy the complete structure as well as data.

string[] arr2 = arr1; //copy
string[] arr4 = (string[])arr3.Clone();
