so im creating the game hammurabi for my college course and im trying to set up arrays with chartsi basiclly want the chart to show the population and the amount of bushels that i currently have for each year, but these figures are not known yet until each year has passed which is done by the user clicking a button im having issues with setting it up so that the array collects the data from each yer and saves it so i can use it in the chart

this i my code for it so far any help would be appreciated

this is what ive got so far it does display the amount of people who havea starved but it shows that yeasr value for all 10 where as i want to only display that years starved then add the next years in the next one evry click of the game i.e

year 1 = 0 died
year 2 = 4 died

etc
listBox1.Items.Clear();

            double[] starved = new double[10];

            for (int year = 0; year != (starved.Length); year++)
            {
                starved[year] = died;
                listBox1.Items.Add(starved[year]);
            }

we havent learnt anything about lists in class si i wwouldlike to stick to arrays as that is what they are expecting me to use
thanks

Hi. When you click on the button click then retrieve your all value and add into the array like this,

Let's say,

int x=100;

and this value you retrieve on the button click.

So after that we will add into the array like this,
List<int> list=new List<int>();
list.Add(x);
for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(list[i]);
}
Here i added a single value for example but you can add any number of values.

Let me know if you need any other thing.
Thanks.

Thanks fornthe reply, I can get it to do all that but what I need is for the values that are assigned to each array needs to be taken from a variable that is calculated each year after the button is click

Hey Hi.

In place of using array you can use List and by using you can add any number of values as per your year.

You can use like this,
List<int> list=new List<int>();
list.Add(100);
list.Add(70);
list.Add(90);
list.Add(100);
list.Add(130);
for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(list[i]);
}
Thanks.
