C# Method help

Lizard - Thank you again for your help! I was curious how to write this on a console application, rather than windows forms. I tried to convert it over but I think I just made it worse... Thanks again for any input!

A very simple way of doing what you want, you can work out a better way from this example.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
  {
  public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
    
   string b = "______________________________________________________________________________________";
   int charcount = 0;
    public Form1()
      {
      InitializeComponent();
      }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
      }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
      b = "______________________________________________________________________________________";
      lb.Text = "";
      b = b.Substring(0, charcount);
      teWordToGuess.Visible = false;
      teLetter.Focus();
      }

    private void teLetter_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
      string s = teWordToGuess.Text;
      string a = teLetter.Text;
      teLetter.Text = "";

      string c = "";

      for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; i++)
        {
        if (s[i].ToString() == a)
          {
          c += a;
          }
        else
          c += b[i];
        }
      b = c;
      lb.Text = b;
      }


    private void te_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
      {
      charcount = teWordToGuess.Text.Length;
      lb1.Text = charcount.ToString();
      
      }

    private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
      teWordToGuess.Visible = true;
      teWordToGuess.Text = "";
      teWordToGuess.Focus();
      }

    }
  }

You need to check the checkbox that says something like do you like this for one of theLizard's responses and then start a new thread for the new project. In the new thread, be specific about what you need help with; don't just post the description of the project that your instructor provided.

Thanks again for all of your help! I ended up figuring out my mistake later after my post. I have been away on business and haven't been able to check online very much. I did get everything done and couldn't have done it without you! I'm moving on to new problems out of a book I've been studying up on. Maybe you can give me a nudge in the right direction with this one? Not as urgent...Just curios. Thanks again!

Write a console program similar to 'Hangman':

• Create an array of 10 words (you decide the words).
• Randomly select a word from the array.
• Then prompt the user to guess a letter of the word
• Then if the user's letter guesses matches any letter(s) in the word, then put the letter guessed into the proper indices of another array and display the contents at this point to the user.
• Repeat till either all letters are guessed or the user misses 3 times.

Include any necessary error handling.

Your going to hate me.

Here is what I have now.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication11
{
   
    class scores
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int[] score = new int[11];  //this can also be an unknown size
            int count = 1;
            int total = 0, mean;
            string x;

    for(int i = 0; i < score.Length; i++)  // will print ALL scores
    {
       
     //for unknown array size
        Array.Resize(ref score, score.Length + 1);  //ad one element to the score array
     //in this case the for loop would become a while loop and you would test for a key to terminate the for loop

while (count != 11)
{

    Console.Write("Please enter player  " + count.ToString() + "Score: ");
    x = Console.ReadLine();
    count++;

}
Console.WriteLine("Player " + i.ToString() + " : " + score[i].ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Total for all players : " + total.ToString());  //will print total

mean = total / score.Length;

Console.WriteLine("Average Score: " + mean.ToString());// will print mean (Average) score


     }
   

        }
    }
}


I am able to input all the scores, but after I put in all the scores it just begins scrolling like crazy. I feel like something minor is out of order here...

Okay, I did as you said and came up with a lot of errors. I tweaked it a little to fix the errors so now I have this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;


namespace ConsoleApplication13
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            int[] score = new int[11];  //this can also be an unknown size

            int total, mean;

 Console.WriteLine("Score for each player");

 for(int i = 0; i < score.Length; i++)  // will print ALL scores
    {

     //for unknown array size
     Array.Resize(ref score, score.Length +1); //add one element to the score array
     //in this case the for loop would become a while loop and you would test for a key to terminate the for loop
    
     Console.WriteLine("Player " + i.ToString() + " : " + score[i].ToString());
     **total** += score[i];
     }
 Console.WriteLine("Total for all players : " + total.ToString());  //will print total

 mean = total / score.Length;

 Console.WriteLine("Average Score: " + mean.ToString());// will print mean (Average) score
        }
    }
}


The only error I am getting now is the "total" that I put stars around. The error is a "use of unassigned local variable" error. I cleaned up the code because I had a few of those errors, but I can't seem to get rid of this one. Also, should I be combining this code with the code from earlier? Or just using this second half of code since we eliminated the player array? Thanks again Lizard! You have been awesome!

Hi Max,

If you do not need the player name then for this exercise all you would need is an array of of int

int[] score = new int[11];  //this can also be an unknown size

to display the score's
int total, mean;

 Console.WriteLine("Score for each player")??

 for(int i = 0; i < score.length; i++)  // will print ALL scores
    {
     //for unknown array size
     Array.Resize(ref score, score.Length +1)  //ad one element to the score array
     //in this case the for loop would become a while loop and you would test for a key to terminate the for loop
     
     Console.WriteLine("Player " + i.ToString() + " : " + score[i].ToString)??
     total += score[i];
     }
 Console.WriteLine("Total for all players : " + total.ToString)  //will print total

 mean = total / score.length;

 Console.WriteLine("Average Score: " + mean.ToString) // will print mean (Average) score

I apologize again. I just re-read the assignment. I must print the TOTAL of all scores, and the mean of the scores not each individual score. I don't even need the player's names, it just has to be 11 players. Now I'm totally lost. How do I add the elements of the array and print their total? I'm so confused...

I am having a hell of a time with this. Also, when I display the scores, should it just be
Console.WriteLine(player[])??

Sorry. I promise no more questions after I finish this last assignment!!

This is what I currently have:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication11
{
    class player
    {
   
        string name;
        int  score;
 
   
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            player[] players = new player[12];
            int count = 1;

while (count != 11)
{
    Console.Write("Please enter player  " + count.ToString() + " Name: ");
    players[count - 1].name = Console.ReadLine();

    Console.Write("Please enter player  " + count.ToString() + "Score: ");
    players[0].score = Console.ReadLine();
    count++;
}


        }
    }
}


Now I am getting an error because the score needs to be converted but I don't know how to do the Int32.Parse() when it comes to the array...

the solution is pretty much the same as the calc example

have a class of players  (this can also be a struct)

class  player
  {
  string name;
  int  score;
   ...
   ...
  }

player[] players = new player[10];
int count = 1;

while(count != 10)
  {
  Console.Write("Please enter player  " + count.ToString() + " Name: ");
  players[count -1].name = Console.ReadLine();

  Console.Write("Please enter player  " + count.ToString() + "Score: ");
  players[0].score = Console.ReadLine();
  count ++;
  }

then do your other stuff..

Okay, the first assignment worked out great and I sincerely appreciate your help. I have another issue now. My goal is to "write a c# program that will prompt for 10 basketball player's score for a game, and store each entry into an array, at the end of the program display all scores including the mean for all scores." I am having a hard time storing the user input into an array. This is all I have so far, I know it isn't much but I'm just looking to be pointed in the right direction again...Thanks!

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication9
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string scoreInput;




            int x;
            int[] scores = new int[10];
          

          

                Console.Write("Please enter player 1 score: ");
                scoreInput = Console.ReadLine();
                x = Int32.Parse(scoreInput);

            
        }
    }
}

nevermind! i had forgotten to change
Console.WriteLine(SimpleCalc.addNumbers(x, y).ToString()); to Console.WriteLine(calc.addNumbers(x, y).ToString());

seems to compile just fine now! thanks for your help, I will post any other issues I have!

I added
SimpleCalc calc = new SimpleCalc();
where you said but I still have the same error... Thanks for your help, i really don't know why I can't get this! arggg

I tweaked the code as you suggested, now I am getting an error message. I know there is something very minor I am simply just not grasping...

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication5
{
    class SimpleCalc
    {
        private double a;
        private double b;
   

        public double addNumbers(double a, double b)
        {
            return a + b;
        }

        public double subtractNumbers(double a, double b)
        {
            return a - b;
        }

        public double multiplyNumbers(double a, double b)
        {
            return a * b;
        }

        public double divideNumbers(double a, double b)
        {
            return a / b;
        }

        public double modulusNumbers(double a, double b)
        {
            return a % b;
        }
    }
    class testCalc
    {
   

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string userxInput;
            string useryInput;
            string operatorInput;
            string startOver;


            int x, y, result;
            float floatresult;

            do
            {

                Console.Write("Please enter integer x: ");
                userxInput = Console.ReadLine();
                x = Int32.Parse(userxInput);

                Console.Write("Enter integer y: ");
                useryInput = Console.ReadLine();
                y = Int32.Parse(useryInput);

                Console.Write("Enter an operator for arithmetic to be performed: ");
                operatorInput = Console.ReadLine();

                if (operatorInput == "+")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(SimpleCalc.addNumbers(x, y).ToString());
                }

                else if (operatorInput == "-")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(SimpleCalc.subtractNumbers(x, y).ToString());
                }

                else if (operatorInput == "*")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(SimpleCalc.multiplyNumbers(x, y).ToString());
                }

                else if (operatorInput == "/")
                {
                    floatresult = (float)x / (float)y;
                    Console.WriteLine(SimpleCalc.divideNumbers(x, y).ToString());
                }

                else if (operatorInput == "%")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(SimpleCalc.modulusNumbers(x, y).ToString());
                }

                Console.WriteLine("Would you like to try another operation? yes/no? ");
                startOver = Console.ReadLine();
            } while (startOver == "yes");

            Console.ReadLine();



        }
    }
}


The error is: Error    2    An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'ConsoleApplication5.SimpleCalc.subtractNumbers(double, double)'   

I get the error for each method

Hi Max,

If I am interpreting this correctly I think you are on the right track, to push you along the class you have "SimpleCalc" is on target you need to add the other methods like

DivideNumbers(double x, double y)
    {
     return(x / y);
    }

the other thing is that you are not using the class in your Main, what you should be doing is

if (operatorInput == "+")
    {
    Console.WriteLine(SimpleCalc.AddNumbers(x, y).ToString());
    }

if (operatorInput == "/")
    {
    Console.WriteLine(SimpleCalc.DivideNumbers(x, y).ToString());
    }

See where I am going?  hope this helps...

You say "Utilizing the class above, you will then rewrite one of the programs from week #2" but I don't know what class that is and I don't know if the subsequent description is the class that has already been written or a class that you need to write. I am sorry, but I am also very confused.
