remove words from a string in random order

kritika Rana

Hi

I have an array which contains 5 strings (like This is a very big apple.) .What I want is make fill ups in the 5 strings in random fashion.I want to pick any word from the line and replace it with dash (______). When ever the user selects the option ,it will automatically fits in the blank area (i.e dash ____).
Let me know the steps for the above process

Try this:

using System;
using System.Threading;

class Program
{
static Random rand = new Random();

static void Main()
{
string text = "This is a very big apple.";

while (true)
{
Console.WriteLine(text);
string[] words = text.Split(' ');
int numWords = words.Length;
bool delay = true;

for(int i = 1; i <= numWords; i++)
{
if (delay) Thread.Sleep(1000);
int randNum = rand.Next(0, numWords);
string randWord = words[randNum];

if (randWord[0] != '_')
{
words[randNum] = new string('_', randWord.Length);
Console.WriteLine(String.Join(" ", words));
delay = true;
}
else
{
i--;
delay = false;
}
}
Console.WriteLine();
string yn;

do
{
Console.Write("Do it again y/n : ");
yn = Console.ReadLine().ToLower();
}
while(yn != "y" && yn != "n");

if (yn == "n") return;
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
}

I want when this question comes after exiting the program the blank will come to some other location l(like for THIS not for APPLE).

I can I select random words and replace them with dash(____).

Hi kritika,
you can use replace function of string class, see the syntax below
D = D.Replace("oldValue", "newValue");

Example if you want to replace apple by _ you can use below code
string D="like This is a very big apple.";
D = D.Replace("apple.","_");
hop this code will help you, please mark as answer, if it helps you
