Hi guys, I have one question how to find third highest number in this string str="12,6,26,14,40"; can you give me sample code.

Jignesh Trivedi · Answer

hi, also try string str = "12,6,26,14,40"; var stringArray = str.Split(','); var k = stringArray.OrderByDescending(i => int.Parse(i)).Skip(2).Take(1).FirstOrDefault(); hope this help.

Sam Hobbs · Answer

This question actually should be two questions; one is how to parse the text and the other is how to find the maximum value from a list or array of values.

Vulpes · Answer

When finding the 'highest' something or other, you can also use the LINQ extension method, OrderByDescending, which orders by highest first: string str = "12,6,26,14,40"; string[] ss = str.Split(','); int thirdHighest = ss.Select(i => int.Parse(i)).OrderByDescending(i => i).ElementAt(2); Of course, it makes no difference in this example because, in a sequence of 5 numbers, the 3rd highest is also the 3rd lowest :)

Senthilkumar · Answer

Hi, The .net introduced some latest concepts which allows to query the value and no need to iterate the element in the object. The LINQ and Lambda expression allows us to write the expression. int []numbers = {12,6,26,14,40}; var secondLowest = numbers.OrderBy(num => num).ElementAt(2); var secondHighest = numbers.OrderBy(num => num).Reverse().ElementAt(2);

One way using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace thirdHighest { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string str = "12,6,26,14,40"; string[] ss = str.Split(','); int[] st2 = new int[ss.Length]; for (int i = 0; i { st2[i] = Convert.ToInt32(ss[i]); } Array.Sort(st2); int answer = st2[st2.Length - 3]; } } }
