So I have this method which works for the first line of finding the sum of the first and last values in and array. Next, I want to use the same method again to find the sum of the values I have just created. For example.

2, 2, 1, 2, 1 -> is my array
3,4,1 -> my method works perfectly to get these values
4,4 -> Now I would I run my method again so that I can get these values.

Please help me.

What I have tried:

for (int i = 0; i < numbers.Length; i++)
{
if (numbers.Length>2)
{
Result(numbers);//method name
}
else { break; }

// Console.WriteLine(numbers[i]);
}

If you have written a method that works perfectly for an array.... what about... calling it?

Yes, a method can call itself (look up recursion, but be careful - it can take a while - according to one of the three jokes we have in computer science)!

So something like

C#

List<int> DoStuff(List<int> input)
{
  if (input.Length > 2)
  {
     List<int> next = ... // Do you calculation for one level here
     return DoStuff(next);
  }

  return input;
}
