Print a List of ints as a matrix - c#

I have a List of 9 integers and I want to print all elements from the list as a matrix 3,3. And I have to avoid unnecessary white space on the end of every line.
Is it possible to use String.Join ?
Thanks.
Here's my code:
int[] input = Console.ReadLine().Split().Select(int.Parse).ToArray();
int[][] matrix = new int[input[0]][];
for (int i = 0; i < input[0]; i++)
{
int[] line = Console.ReadLine().Split(' ', StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Select(int.Parse).ToArray();
matrix[i] = line;
}
List<int> arr = new List<int>(9);
List<int> arr1 = new List<int>(9);
arr = Enumerable.Repeat(0, 9).ToList();
//for (int i = 0; i < 9 ; i++) sum[i%3, i/3] = 0;
for (int row = 0; row < input[0] - 2; row++)
{
for (int col = 0; col < input[1] - 2; col++)
{
arr1.Add(matrix[row][col]);
arr1.Add(matrix[row][col + 1]);
arr1.Add(matrix[row][col + 2]);
arr1.Add(matrix[row + 1][col]);
arr1.Add(matrix[row + 1][col + 1]);
arr1.Add(matrix[row + 1][col + 2]);
arr1.Add(matrix[row + 2][col]);
arr1.Add(matrix[row + 2][col + 1]);
arr1.Add(matrix[row + 2][col + 2]);
if (arr1.Sum() > arr.Sum())
{
arr = arr1.Select(a => a).ToList();
}
arr1.Clear();
}
}
Console.WriteLine($"Sum = {arr.Sum()} ");
// print the list as a matrix

This is how I would print it using String.Join:
List<int> asd = new List<int> {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
for (int i = 0; i < asd.Count; i +=3)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ",asd.Skip(i).Take(3)));
}
Explanation: Walk in steps of 3. Skip the amount of numbers equal to the stepsize and take 3 to combine a row of the matrix.

You should reconsider the accepted answer because the performance is poorly with many items.
It may be irrelevant for your current count of items but still hear my warning.
I ran the following code snippet:
var sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < asd.Count; i +=3)
sb.AppendLine(string.Join(" ", asd.Skip(i).Take(3)));
Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());
used a StringBuilder to remove the time relevant Console.WriteLine(); for every item in the loop.
This approach takes 756,115ms to complete, with 1,000,000 items.
Created the asd list like this:
var asd = Enumerable.Range(0, 1000000).ToList();
Every other answer given so far will perform way better.
The reason why the accepted solution performs this poorly is because of the .Skip() that is getting called inside the loop, it doesn't actually skip and go directly to this Position instead it again and again loops the list till it reaches this point.
My solution would be:
Console.WriteLine(string.Concat(asd.Select((x, i) => (i + 1) % 3 != 0 ? x + " " : x + Environment.NewLine)));
Which executes the same task in 8,610ms
For completness:
Wojtek's solution takes: 7,932ms
Nirmal Subedi' solution takes: 8,088ms
Note:
Changed it so that it uses a StringBuilder to build the string and only output the string once to the console, instead of calling Console.WriteLine() in a loop
Here my complete test routine:
var asd = Enumerable.Range(0, 1000000).ToList();
var sw1 = new Stopwatch();
sw1.Start();
Console.WriteLine(string.Concat(asd.Select((x, i) => (i + 1) % 3 != 0 ? x + " " : x + Environment.NewLine)));
sw1.Stop();
var sw2 = new Stopwatch();
sw2.Start();
var sb1 = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < asd.Count; i += 3)
sb1.AppendLine(string.Join(" ", asd.Skip(i).Take(3)));
Console.WriteLine(sb1.ToString());
sw2.Stop();
var sw3 = new Stopwatch();
sw3.Start();
var sb2 = new StringBuilder();
int counter = 0;
string output = "";
foreach (int value in asd)
{
counter++;
if (counter % 3 == 0)
{
output += value;
sb2.AppendLine(output);
output = string.Empty;
}
else
output += value + " ";
}
Console.WriteLine(sb2.ToString());
sw3.Stop();
var sw4 = new Stopwatch();
sw4.Start();
var sb3 = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i <asd.Count / 3; i++)
{
int index = i * 3;
sb3.AppendFormat("{0} {1} {2}", asd[index], asd[index + 1], asd[index + 2]);
sb3.AppendLine();
}
Console.WriteLine(sb3.ToString());
sw4.Stop();
Console.WriteLine("MySolution: " + sw1.ElapsedMilliseconds);
Console.WriteLine("Mong Zhu's Solution: " + sw2.ElapsedMilliseconds);
Console.WriteLine("Wojtek's Solution: " + sw3.ElapsedMilliseconds);
Console.WriteLine("Nirmal Subedi's Solution: " + sw4.ElapsedMilliseconds);
Console.ReadKey();

Now You have your code pasted. Anyway, I created the sample to print the 3x3 matrix.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
List<int> numbers = new List<int>() {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 };
for (int i = 0; i <3; i++)
{
int index = i * 3;
stringBuilder.AppendFormat("{0}{1}{2}", numbers[index], numbers[index + 1], numbers[index + 2]);
stringBuilder.AppendLine();
}
Console.Write(stringBuilder.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();
}
}

Is that what you meant?
string output = string.Empty;
List<int> myList = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
int counter = 0;
foreach (int value in myList)
{
output += value.ToString();
counter++;
if (counter % 3 == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine(output);
output = string.Empty;
}
}

Misunderstanding With If and Else

I'm new to C# and would like some help!
I am working on some code that allows the user to find out if specific cows on his farm aren't producing enough milk.
On line 75 the if statement is supposed to print out the cows that 'are not good enough' or Tell the user that everything is OK. But instead it permanently try's to print the Bad Cows.
Console.WriteLine("How many cows are in your herd?");
int CowNum = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
int Temp;
double TempD;
string TempS;
int MinimumVal = 6;
int MDIR = 4;
string[] BadList = new string[CowNum];
int[] Counter = new int[CowNum];
double[] Total = new double[CowNum];
string[] Days = new string[7] {"Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"};
string[] CowID = new string[CowNum];
double[,] CowYield = new double[CowNum, 7];
Random r = new Random();
for (int n = 0; n < CowNum; n++) // Sets Cow ID's
{
Console.WriteLine("What is the ID of Cow: " + (n + 1) + "?" );
TempS = (Console.ReadLine());
CowID[n] = TempS;
}
for (int n = 0; n < CowNum; n++) // Sets the Yield of each cow to a certin day
for (int x = 0; x < Days.GetLength(0); x++)
{
Console.WriteLine("What was the Yeild for Cow: " + CowID[n] + " on " + Days[x] + "?");
TempD = double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
CowYield[n, x] = TempD;
if (TempD < MinimumVal)
{
Counter[n] = Counter[n] + 1;
Console.WriteLine(Counter[n]);
}
//Console.WriteLine("What was the Yeild for Cow: " + CowID[n] + " on " + Days[x] + "?"); //Randomly Generated 'Saves Time'
//Temp = r.Next(0, 20);
//Console.WriteLine(Temp);
//CowYield[n, x] = Temp;
}
for (int n = 0; n < CowNum; n++)
for (int x = 0; x < Days.GetLength(0); x++)
Total[n] = Total[n] + CowYield[n, x];
for (int n = 0; n < CowNum; n++)
{
if (Counter[n] > MDIR)
{
BadList[n] = CowID[n];
Console.WriteLine("asd" + BadList[n]);
}
}
int index = Array.IndexOf(Total, Total.Max()); // Gets index of Highest producing cow
TempS = CowID[index];
Console.WriteLine("\nThe Highest producing cow is Cow: " + TempS + ". with a whopping " + Total[index] + "L of Milk!\n");
if (BadList.GetLength(0) > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine(BadList.GetLength(0));
for (int n = 0; n < BadList.GetLength(0); n++)
{
Console.WriteLine(BadList[n]);
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("None of your cows had less than 6L of milk for four or more days in a row!");
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
In short your code fails beause
(For ease of all of us, heres a simplified one)
string[] thing = new string[200]
if (thing.Length>0)
{ Console.WriteLine("All wrong");}
else
{ Console.WriteLine("OK");}
Your Length of thing is always 200 because you made it that big. So output is always "All wrong"
However if you had
List<String> thing = new List<String>();
//process list here, and use thing.Add(badcow)
if (thing.Count() >0 )
{ Console.WriteLine("All wrong");}
else
{ Console.WriteLine("OK");}
then it will work because there maybe 0 entries in the list. It may produce both answers and will pick as you expected.

Finding list of unique subsets of a given list of integers [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to generate all subsets of a given size?
(5 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Looking for an efficient way to determine all unique subsets of a list of integers.
Say I have a List of integers containing 340 integers. I want a List of all possible subsets (of 5 elements each). All supplied integers will be unique, and the result should not duplicate any element in it's subset. An example given an input of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 I am looking for an output of
1,2,3,4,5
1,2,3,4,6
1,2,3,4,7
1,2,3,4,8
1,2,3,4,9
1,2,3,5,6
1,2,3,5,7
...
I must do this in CSharp. can this be done in LINQ?
I have answered a several combinatorial questions, and everywhere I use a variation of a non recursive allocation free algorithm. For this case, it looks like this:
public static class Algorithms
{
public static IEnumerable<T[]> GetCombinations<T>(this T[] input, int N)
{
var result = new T[N];
var indices = new int[N];
for (int pos = 0, index = 0; ;)
{
for (; pos < N; pos++, index++)
{
indices[pos] = index;
result[pos] = input[index];
}
yield return result;
do
{
if (pos == 0) yield break;
index = indices[--pos] + 1;
}
while (index > input.Length - N + pos);
}
}
}
As in the other implementations, the method yields one and the same internal buffer, which is useful when you need just to iterate and process the resulting set once. If you need to store the combinations, then you need to clone the returned array before storing it. Here is a sample usage like in your scenario:
var input = Enumerable.Range(1, 20);
var result = input
.Distinct()
.ToArray()
.GetCombinations(5)
.Select(c => (int[])c.Clone())
.ToList();
UPDATE: The GetCombinations method basically emulates N nested loops like this (in pseudo code):
for (int i0 = 0; i0 <= input.Length - N; i0++)
for (int i1 = i0 + 1; i1 <= input.Length - N + 1; i1++)
for (int i2 = i1 + 1; i2 <= input.Length - N + 2; i2++)
...
for (int iN-1 = iN-2 + 1; iN-1 <= input.Length - 1; iN-1++)
yield { input[i0], input[i1], input[i2], ..., input[iN-1] }
In case of a tractable set of 9 elements (or max 25-30) and subset of 5, the code could be based on a recursive function
static void Main(string[] args)
{
foreach (var item in ListPerm())
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Join(",", item));
}
Console.Read();
}
private static List<List<int>> ListPerm(HashSet<int> mySet = null, int deep = 5)
{
if (mySet == null)
{
mySet = initSet(8);
}
if (deep <= 0)
{
return Enumerable.Empty<List<int>>().ToList();
}
List<List<int>> all = new List<List<int>>();
for (int i = 0; i < mySet.Count - deep + 1; i++)
{
if (deep == 1)
{
var list = new List<int>() { mySet.ElementAt(i) };
all.Add(list);
}
foreach (var item in ListPerm(new HashSet<int>(mySet.Skip(i+1)), deep - 1))
{
var list = new List<int>() { mySet.ElementAt(i) };
list.AddRange(item);
all.Add(list);
}
}
return all;
}
private static HashSet<int> initSet(int lenght)
{
HashSet<int> ret = new HashSet<int>();
for (int i = 0; i < lenght; i++)
{
ret.Add(i * 1 + 1); // just an example...
};
return ret;
}
Reengineering
Now, let me optimize the above code into a more performant function, that takes 3.2 seconds to get the combinations of 8 integers out of 30 on my standard laptop.
private static int[][] ListPerm(int[] mySet, int deep)
{
var all = new List<int[]>();
if (deep == 1)
{
return mySet.Select(x => new int[] { x }).ToArray();
}
else
{
var mySubSet = new int[mySet.Length - 1];
Array.Copy(mySet, 1, mySubSet, 0, mySubSet.Length);
var perm1st = ListPerm(mySubSet, deep - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < mySet.Length - deep + 1; i++)
{
var permn = perm1st.Select(x =>
{
var z = new int[x.Length + 1];
z[0] = mySet[i];
x.CopyTo(z, 1);
return z;
}
);
all.AddRange(permn);
int start = Array.FindIndex(perm1st, item => item[0] != mySet[i + 1]);
if (start > 0)
{
var temp_cpy = new int[perm1st.Length - start][];
Array.Copy(perm1st, start, temp_cpy, 0, temp_cpy.Length);
perm1st = temp_cpy;
}
}
}
return all.ToArray();
}

save the input value in a 2dimentsion array

how can i save the number that user enter in textbox in a 2 dimension array?
for example:
i have this numbers in textbox:45,78
and now i want to save 45,32 like this: array[0,0]=45 and array[0,1]=78
how can i do that?thanks,so much
edited:
oh,when i entered 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 in textbox and it takes [2,2]=56
private void button10_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int matrixDimention = 2;
int[,] intValues = new int[matrixDimention + 1, matrixDimention + 1];
string[] splitValues = textBox9.Text.Split(',');
for (int i = 0; i < splitValues.Length; i++)
intValues[i % (matrixDimention + 1), i % (matrixDimention + 1)] = Convert.ToInt32(splitValues[i]);
string a=intValues[2,2].ToString();
MessageBox.Show(a);
}
when i take:
string a=intValues[2,1].ToString();
it shows 0
Have a look at using String.Split Method (Char[]) and Convert.ToInt32 Method (String)
Something like
string textBox = "45,78";
int[,] values = new int[1,2];
string[] textBoxSplit = textBox.Split(',');
values[0, 0] = Convert.ToInt32(textBoxSplit[0]);
values[0, 1] = Convert.ToInt32(textBoxSplit[1]);
EDIT
Example using List and Linq
string textBox = "45,78,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12";
List<int> list = new List<int>(textBox.Split(',').Select(x => Convert.ToInt32(x)));
EDIT 2
Longwinded example using List and foreach
string textBox = "45,78,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12";
List<int> list2 = new List<int>();
string[] splitVals = textBox.Split(',');
foreach (string splitVal in splitVals)
list2.Add(Convert.ToInt32(splitVal));
EDIT
Enter the matrix
string textBox = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9";
int matrixDimention = 2;
int[,] intValues = new int[matrixDimention + 1, matrixDimention + 1];
string[] splitValues = textBox.Split(',');
for (int i = 0; i < splitValues.Length; i++)
intValues[i/(matrixDimention + 1), i%(matrixDimention + 1)] = Convert.ToInt32(splitValues[i]);
EDIT
Follow the white rabbit
string textBox = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9";
int matrixDimention = 2;
int[,] intValues = new int[matrixDimention + 1, matrixDimention + 1];
string[] splitValues = textBox.Split(',');
for (int i = 0; i < splitValues.Length; i++)
intValues[i/(matrixDimention + 1), i%(matrixDimention + 1)] = Convert.ToInt32(splitValues[i]);
string displayString = "";
for (int inner = 0; inner < intValues.GetLength(0); inner ++)
{
for (int outer = 0; outer < intValues.GetLength(1); outer++)
displayString += String.Format("{0}\t", intValues[inner, outer]);
displayString += Environment.NewLine;
}
MessageBox.Show(displayString);
try this assuming array is a string array
str[] input = textBox.Text.Split(',');
if(input.Length > 1)
{
arr[0,0] = input[0];
arr[0,1]= input[1];
}

Looping through an array without throwing exception

Say I have an array of values:
string[] text = new string[] { "val1", "val2", "val3", "val4", "val5" };
Then I have a basic loop:
for (int i = 0; i <= 30; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(i + " = " + text[i])
}
Obviously, this will cause an out of bounds exception, so what I want to do is when the counter reaches the upper bound of the array then go back to the start.
So
0 = val1
1 = val2
2 = val3
3 = val4
4 = val5
5 = val1
6 = val2
7 = val3
etc..
You could use the modulus operator:
Console.WriteLine(i + " = " + text[i % 5])
Take the modulus of the array length:
for (int i = 0; i < 30; ++i)
{
Console.WriteLine(i + " = " + text[i % text.Length]);
}
Try
for(int i=0;i<=30;i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(i + " = " + string[i % 5])
}
Shouldn't it be:
Console.WriteLine(i + " = " + text[i % text.length])
?
As a slightly less specific solution...
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] text = new string[] { "val1", "val2", "val3", "val4", "val5" };
int count = 0;
foreach (string t in text.ContinuousLoopTo(30))
{
Console.WriteLine(count.ToString() + " = " + t);
count++;
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public static class Extensions
{
public static IEnumerable<T> ContinuousLoopTo<T>(this IList<T> list, int number)
{
int loops = number / list.Count;
int i = 0;
while (i < loops)
{
i++;
foreach (T item in list)
{
yield return item;
}
}
for (int j = 0; j < number % list.Count; j++)
{
yield return list[j];
}
}
}
what? like forever?
bool run = true;
int i = 0;
string[] text = new string[] {"val1", "val2", "val3", "val4", "val5"};
while(run)
{
Console.WriteLine(i + " = " + text[i])
i++;
if(i>=text.Length) i=0;
}
The writeline should be:
Console.WriteLine(i + " = " + text[i%5]);

.NET Multi Dimensional Array Printing

Let's say I have a .NET Array of n number of dimensions. I would like to foreach through the elements and print out something like:
[0, 0, 0] = 2
[0, 0, 1] = 32
And so on. I could write a loop using some the Rank and dimension functions to come up with the indices. Is there a built in function instead?
Thanks for the answer, here is what I wrote while I waited:
public static string Format(Array array)
{
var builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.AppendLine("Count: " + array.Length);
var counter = 0;
var dimensions = new List<int>();
for (int i = 0; i < array.Rank; i++)
{
dimensions.Add(array.GetUpperBound(i) + 1);
}
foreach (var current in array)
{
var index = "";
var remainder = counter;
foreach (var bound in dimensions)
{
index = remainder % bound + ", " + index;
remainder = remainder / bound;
}
index = index.Substring(0, index.Length - 2);
builder.AppendLine(" [" + index + "] " + current);
counter++;
}
return builder.ToString();
}
Take a look at this: might helpful for you.
