I just finished a C# totorial and thought it would be a cool idea to get the most popular type of computers using lists. I was able to get it to work exept the only the most recent element will be added to the list.
namespace computerDatabase
{
class program
{
static void Main()
{
while (true)
{
List<string> computerName = new List<string>();
Console.Write("Who is your computer manufacturer: ");
string cName = Console.ReadLine();
computerName.Add(cName);
if (cName == "list")
{
foreach(string s in computerName)
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
else
{
computerName.Add(cName.ToLower());
}
}
}
}
}
As pointed out by Jon, you re-initializing your list for every iteration, nullifying any input added to the list. You also do not need to specify a capacity for the list in the constructor as it will grow automatically. I've corrected the relevant parts for you:
List<string> computerName = new List<string>();
while (true)
{
Console.Write("Who is your computer manufacturer: ");
string cName = Console.ReadLine();
if (cName != "list")
computerName.Add(cName.ToLower());
else
{
foreach(string s in computerName)
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
}

I've been learning how to create a SQL base with C# and I'm stuck here with a question.
Here I am testing how to return the value of a text row to a string
Why does the compiler make an error here? I read the method list and my database has 3 more values for the 'FirstName' column. Why can I only see an index?
I appreciate your help in advance
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string dbName = "URI=file:testeDB.db";
using (var connection = new SqliteConnection(dbName))
{
connection.Open();
var command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "SELECT FirstName FROM Persons";
SqliteDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
Console.WriteLine(reader);
if ( reader.Read() )
{
Console.WriteLine("Reading...");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
string myVar = reader.GetString(2); //Index was outside the bounds of the array."
Console.WriteLine(myVar);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Dont Read");
}
}
}
}
}
This happens because the method GetString(int) as the documentation says "Gets the value of the specified column as a String." and according to the code you showed us you are just retrieving one column from the table Persons, that's why you are getting the exception, only GetString(0) will work in this case.

I need some help with completing this simple name "generator"
We've just started programming in high school, so I would like a simpler solution. This is all I've got for now, but the output in the textbox is System.String[]
private void Btn_gen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textbox.Text = textbox.Text + name((int) count.Value) + Environment.NewLine;
}
private string name(int count)
{
string heslo = "";
string[] names = new string[] {"Abby", "Uther", "Thomas", "Michelle", "Abraham", "Bendy"};
string[] surnames = {"The Mighty", "The Clumsy", "The Strong", "The Lightbringer", "The Pyromancer", "The Necromancer"};
Random gnč = new Random();
for (int i = 1; i <= count; i++)
{
int nč = gnč.Next(0, names.Length);
heslo = heslo + names;
}
return heslo;
}
The problem is that you aren't appending a random name, but rather the type name System.String[], which is the formal type name of your names variable, to your string.
Change heslo = heslo + names to
heslo = heslo + names[nč];
This will take a random element out of the names array.

I need to print num after num(num-1) until zero
have to do it in recursion style.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("what is num?");
int num = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
downnums(num);
}
public static void downnums(int num)
{
if (num == 0)
Console.WriteLine("that all");
else
{
Console.WriteLine(downnums(num-1));
}
}
}
Thanks guys
Remember: void means your method doesn't return a value, so it cannot be assigned to other variable or passed to method as an argument like WriteLine method:
this is what you're looking for:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("what is num?");
int num = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
downnums(num);
}
public static void downnums(int num)
{
if (num == 0)
Console.WriteLine("that all");
else
{
Console.WriteLine(num);
downnums(num-1);
}
}
}

I am currently getting into Pentesting and Ethical Hacking to test website security.
I would appreciate an example Bruteforce algorithm that is stored in a string. Not a dictionary algorithm, but a bruteforce algorithm. For example, it tries the letter a. Then it tries the letter b, then it tries c and so on. Thank you in advance :)
Even if i think that you should really come up with an own concept for this problem, i'll like to give you a hint how to do this.
Disclaimer: this is the laziest, slowest and dirtiest approach possible but it gets its job done. NEVER EVER USE THIS FOR A REAL SYSTEM.
Programm.cs
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Brutforce b = new Brutforce()
{
Alphabet = new []{'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'}
};
ICollection<string> vals = b.Calculate(3);
foreach (var elem in vals)
Console.WriteLine(elem);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
Brutforce.cs
internal class Brutforce
{
public ICollection<char> Alphabet { get; set; }
private ICollection<string> _calculate(int lenght)
{
if (lenght <= 1) return Alphabet.Select(a => a + "").ToList();
ICollection<string> sub = _calculate(lenght - 1);
return (from alpha in Alphabet from prior in sub select alpha + prior).ToList();
}
public ICollection<string> Calculate(int lenght)
{
return Alphabet == null ? null : _calculate(lenght);
}
}

Question: My else-statement is unreachable, what am i doing wrong?
very VERY new at programming and i'm trying to compare the type so for example people can't enter strings when i'm asking for integers.
My code is probably pretty bad, if i could get a header what to do and why the if-argument skips the else-part i'd be really happy!
Thanks!
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int integer = 0;
start:
Console.WriteLine("How old are you?: ");
int svar = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Utility.CompareTypes(svar, integer);
if (true)
{
Console.WriteLine("Thanks");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("You have to enter a number!");
goto start;
}
}
}
class Utility
{
public static bool CompareTypes<T01, T02>(T01 type01, T02 type02)
{
return typeof(T01).Equals (typeof(T02));
}
}
:c
It's not really a question of code, but of logic...
if (true) // <--- this will ALWAYS be true
{
Console.WriteLine("Thanks");
}
else // <--- therefore this will NEVER happen
{
Console.WriteLine("You have to enter a number!");
goto start;
}
Since your else block can never possibly execute under any logical circumstance, the entire block of code can be simplified to:
Console.WriteLine("Thanks");
In order for the else block to execute, the condition checked in the if statement needs to be false. You're currently not checking any actual condition, just a hard-coded true value.
Perhaps you meant to use the result of the previous line of code? Something like this:
var typesAreSame = Utility.CompareTypes(svar, integer);
if (typesAreSame)
{
//...
