We Keep Coding

Are there any functions similar to .Contains that will work with "char"?

So I am creating a hangman-type game in C# and I want the user's input to be recognized as a variable. So I am trying to use this variable(user input) and see if it is found in the word chosen. However, there is no .Contain function that works with "char" variables. Is there any way to make this work? (The part in asterisks is the portion I want to add this code to)
using System;
namespace Hangman
{
class WordChoice
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Random rand = new Random();
int numword = rand.Next(2);
string word = "";
char[] ltrlist = { ' ' };
char ltrchce = ' ';
int strlength = 0;
**void ltrcheck()
{
if
{
Console.WriteLine("Great you got a letter");
}
}**
if (numword == 1)
{
word = "Shrek";
strlength = word.Length;
ltrlist = new char[strlength];
for (int a = 0; a < strlength; a++)
{
ltrlist[a] = word[a];
}
}
if (numword == 2)
{
word = "Venom";
strlength = word.Length;
ltrlist = new char[strlength];
for (int a = 0; a < strlength; a++)
{
ltrlist[a] = word[a];
}
}
if (numword == 3)
{
word = "Avengers";
strlength = word.Length;
ltrlist = new char[strlength];
for (int a = 0; a < strlength; a++)
{
ltrlist[a] = word[a];
}
}
if (numword == 4)
{
word = "Inception";
strlength = word.Length;
ltrlist = new char[strlength];
for (int a = 0; a < strlength; a++)
{
ltrlist[a] = word[a];
}
}
if (numword == 5)
{
word = "Batman";
strlength = word.Length;
ltrlist = new char[strlength];
for (int a = 0; a < strlength; a++)
{
ltrlist[a] = word[a];
}
}
string undscr = "";
for (int i = 0; i < strlength; i++)
{
undscr = undscr + " _";
}
Console.WriteLine(undscr);
Console.WriteLine("");
Console.WriteLine("Pick a letter");
string ltrchcestr = Console.ReadLine();
ltrchce = Convert.ToChar(ltrchcestr);
ltrcheck();
}
}
}

You can do a function like this
static bool Contains(IEnumerable < char > items, char letter)
=> return items?.Any(c => c == letter) == true;
or just create a typeExtension, for Project wide use:
public static class CharExtensions {
public static bool Contains(this IEnumerable<char> items, char letter ){
return items?.Any(c => c == letter) == true;
}
}
this test will now work:
var chars = new []{'a','b','c'};
Console.WriteLine(chars.Contains('m'));
Console.WriteLine(chars.Contains('b'));

Make a password generator

I am currently trying to make a random password generator.
My code works fine if I only pick one type of symbols.
What's the best way to make my code to word for more than one type?
Also what parameters would you add to make the password more secured?
I am thinking of adding an if loop to check if there are more than two same letters, symbols or numbers in a row.
That's how my interface looks like:
and that is my code:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
// Max number of identical characters in a row
const int Maximum_Identical = 2;
// lower case chars
const string lower_chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
// capital chars
const string capital_chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
// numbers
const string numbers = "0123456789";
// symbols
const string symbols = #"!#$%&*#\";
// password lenght
int lenght;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//use stringbuilder so I can add more chars later
StringBuilder password = new StringBuilder();
//take max lenght from numericUpDown
lenght = Convert.ToInt32(numericUpDown1.Value);
// random instance so I can use Next and don't get loops
Random rdm = new Random();
if (small_letters__Box.Checked)
{
//add a random small character to pass untill it reaches the selected lenght
while (lenght-- > 0 )
{
password.Append(lower_chars[rdm.Next(lower_chars.Length)]);
}
}
if (capital_letters__Box.Checked)
{
//add a random capital character to pass untill it reaches the selected lenght
while (lenght-- > 0)
{
password.Append(capital_chars[rdm.Next(capital_chars.Length)]);
}
}
if (numbers_Box.Checked)
{
//add a random character to pass untill it reaches the selected lenght
while (lenght-- > 0)
{
password.Append(numbers[rdm.Next(numbers.Length)]);
}
}
if (symbols_Box.Checked)
{
//add a random character to pass untill it reaches the selected lenght
while (lenght-- > 0)
{
password.Append(symbols[rdm.Next(symbols.Length)]);
}
}
textBox1.Text = password.ToString();
}
private void numericUpDown1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}

Your password generation has 2 steps.
Determine the character set
Create a password randomly from the character set of length n
Function 1 creates the character set:
// Make sure you have using System.Linq;
private List<char> GetCharacterSet()
{
IEnumerable<char> returnSet = new char[]{};
if (small_letters__Box.Checked)
{
returnSet = returnSet.Append(lower_chars);
}
if (capital_letters__Box.Checked)
{
returnSet = returnSet.Append(capital_chars);
}
if (numbers_Box.Checked)
{
returnSet = returnSet.Append(numbers);
}
if (symbols_Box.Checked)
{
returnSet = returnSet.Append(symbols);
}
return returnSet.ToList();
}
Function 2 creates a password of given length from your character set
private string GetPassword(int length, List<char> characterSet)
{
if(characterSet.Count < 1)
{
throw new ArgumentException("characterSet contains no items!");
}
if(length < 1)
{
return "";
}
Random rdm = new Random();
StringBuilder password = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = 0; i < length; i++){
int charIndex = rdm.Next(0, characterSet.Count)
password.Append(characterSet[charIndex]);
}
return password.ToString();
}
Then simply rig your button click event handler to call these functions and display the resulting password.

I write this code for you. You can just copy and use it. All of my code is just a method that you can pass appropriate arguments and it gives you back a completely randomized password. I test it several times before answering your question, It works well.
private string GeneratePassword(bool useCapitalLetters, bool useSmallLetters, bool useNumbers, bool useSymbols, int passLenght)
{
Random random = new Random();
StringBuilder password = new StringBuilder(string.Empty);
//This for loop is for selecting password chars in order
for (int i = 0;;)
{
if (useCapitalLetters)
{
password.Append((char)random.Next(65, 91)); //Capital letters
++i; if (i >= passLenght) break;
}
if (useSmallLetters)
{
password.Append((char)random.Next(97, 122)); //Small letters
++i; if (i >= passLenght) break;
}
if (useNumbers)
{
password.Append((char)random.Next(48, 57)); //Number letters
++i; if (i >= passLenght) break;
}
if (useSymbols)
{
password.Append((char)random.Next(35, 38)); //Symbol letters
++i; if (i >= passLenght) break;
}
}
//This for loop is for disordering password characters
for (int i = 0; i < password.Length; ++i)
{
int randomIndex1 = random.Next(password.Length);
int randomIndex2 = random.Next(password.Length);
char temp = password[randomIndex1];
password[randomIndex1] = password[randomIndex2];
password[randomIndex2] = temp;
}
return password.ToString();
}

an answer with complete randomize char and using the max repeat of char, i have added a shuffle string function:
const int Maximum_Identical = 2; // Max number of identical characters in a row
const string lower_chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; // lower case chars
const string capital_chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; //capital chars
const string numbers = "0123456789"; //numbers
const string symbols = #"!#$%&*#\"; //symbols
int lenght = 6; //
bool lowercase = true, capital=true, num=true, sym=true;
List<char[]> PasswordSet = new List<char[]>();
List<char[]> charSet = new List<char[]>();
List<int[]> countSet = new List<int[]>();
if (lowercase) charSet.Add(lower_chars.ToArray());
if (capital) charSet.Add(capital_chars.ToArray());
if (num) charSet.Add(numbers.ToArray());
if (sym) charSet.Add(symbols.ToArray());
foreach(var c in charSet)
countSet.Add(new int[c.Length]);
Random rdm = new Random();
//we create alist with each type with a length char (max repeat char included)
for(int i = 0; i < charSet.Count;i++)
{
var lng = 1;
var p0 = "";
while (true)
{
var ind = rdm.Next(0, charSet[i].Length);
if (countSet[i][ind] < Maximum_Identical )
{
countSet[i][ind] += 1;
lng++;
p0 += charSet[i][ind];
}
if (lng == lenght) break;
}
PasswordSet.Add(p0.ToArray());
}
//generate a password with the desired length with at less one char in desired type,
//and we choose randomly in desired type to complete the length of password
var password = "";
for(int i = 0; i < lenght; i++)
{
char p;
if (i < PasswordSet.Count)
{
int id;
do
{
id = rdm.Next(0, PasswordSet[i].Length);
p = PasswordSet[i][id];
} while (p == '\0');
password += p;
PasswordSet[i][id] = '\0';
}
else
{
int id0;
int id1;
do
{
id0 = rdm.Next(0, PasswordSet.Count);
id1 = rdm.Next(0, PasswordSet[id0].Length);
p = PasswordSet[id0][id1];
} while (p == '\0');
password += p;
PasswordSet[id0][id1] = '\0';
}
}
//you could shuffle the final password
password = Shuffle.StringMixer(password);
shuffle string function:

array[i] = temp;
}
}

Failed Gauss-Jordan elimination implementation in C#

Based on the alorithm given here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination#Pseudocode,
I tried to implement a C# version of the Gaussian Elimination:
public Matrix GaussianElimination(double epsilon = 1e-10)
{
var result = Copy();
var kMax = Math.Min(result.RowCount, result.ColumnCount);
for (var k = 0; k < kMax; k++)
{
// Find k-th pivot, i.e. maximum in column max
var iMax = result.FindColumnAbsMax(k);
if (Math.Abs(result[iMax, k]) < epsilon)
{
throw new ArithmeticException("Matrix is singular or nearly singular.");
}
// Swap maximum row with current row
SwapRows(k, iMax);
// Make all rows below the current one, with 0 in current column
for (var i = k + 1; i < result.RowCount; i++)
{
var factor = result[i, k] / result[k, k];
for (var j = k + 1; j < result.ColumnCount; j++)
{
result[i, j] = result[i, j] - result[k, j] * factor;
}
result[i, k] = 0;
}
}
return result;
}
It works in most cases (note that this is not performing the back substitution step). However, for the first example given in Wikipedia, the algorithm stop on the singular matrix case and throw the related exception on the row echelon form right before back substitution step with:
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var matrix = Matrix.Parse("[1 3 1 9; 1 1 -1 1; 3 11 5 35]");
Console.WriteLine(matrix);
Console.WriteLine(matrix.GaussianElimination());
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
k = 2
kMax = 3
iMax = 2
result = [1 3 1 9; 0 -2 -2 -8; 0 0 0 0]

Sort into a particular way to start calculations
//Job Sort
var ListSort = from jobsort in list
orderby jobsort.Sequence ascending, jobsort.Priority descending, jobsort.DueDate ascending, jobsort.JobNum ascending
select jobsort;
List<JobListOrder> SortList = new List<JobListOrder>(ListSort);
Here is a slight attempt at it
//foreach (var i in SortList)
//{
// if (JobNumMax >= WSMax)
// {
// return i.EndHour = JobNumMax + i.ProcTime;
// }
// else
// return i.EndHour = WSMax + currentjob.ProcTime;
// for (var j = 0; j < SortList.Count; j++)
// {
// int JobLNumMaxIndex = SortList.FindLastIndex(i.JobNum)
// int JobNumMax = i.EndHour[JobNumMaxIndex];
// for (var k = 0; k < SortList.Count; k++)
// {
// int WSMaxIndex = SortList.FindLastIndex(i.Workstation);
// int WSMax = i.EndHour[JobNumMaxIndex];
// }
// }
//}
I am trying to find the LastIndex of a query and return a value of that particular index. I'll try to explain what I mean in the code below Searching for JobNum = 1 and Workstation = Milling with a ProcTime of 1
foreach (var i in SortList) //Iterate through SortList
{
if (JobNumMax (3) >= WSMax (4))
{
return i.EndHour = JobNumMax (3) + i.ProcTime (1); //assigns calculation to EndHour of current record
}
else
return i.EndHour = WSMax (4) + i.ProcTime (1);
for (var j = 0; j < SortList.Count; j++)
{
int JobLNumMaxIndex = SortList.FindLastIndex(1) //Finds last record with JobNum = 1
int JobNumMax = i.EndHour[JobNumMaxIndex];//Return what EndHour is at the index from JobNumMaxIndex search// Lets say 3
for (var k = 0; k < SortList.Count; k++)
{
int WSMaxIndex = SortList.FindLastIndex(Milling);//Finds last record with Workstation = Milling
int WSMax = i.EndHour[JobNumMaxIndex];//Return what EndHour is at the index from WSMaxIndex search// Lets say 4
}
}
}
Result would be 4 + 1 = 5.
I am having trouble with syntax of the algorithm. I can't get the FindLast to work at all.

It looks like you might just be having trouble with the LINQ syntax.
FindLastIndex will take a Predicate<JobListOrder> as an argument, i.e, a function which takes a JobListOrder as an input an returns true or false.
So instead of SortList.FindLastIndex(i.JobNum) you should probably have something like:
SortList.FindLastIndex(order => order.JobNum == i.JobNum);
Corrected in your code:
int JobNumMax = 0;
int WSMax 0;
foreach (var i in SortList)
{
if (JobNumMax >= WSMax)
{
return i.EndHour = JobNumMax + i.ProcTime;
}
else if (JobNumMax > 0 && WSMax > 0)
{
return i.EndHour = WSMax + currentjob.ProcTime;
}
for (var j = 0; j < SortList.Count; j++)
{
int JobLNumMaxIndex = SortList.FindLastIndex(order => order.JobNum == i.JobNum);
JobNumMax = i.EndHour[JobNumMaxIndex];
for (var k = 0; k < SortList.Count; k++)
{
int WSMaxIndex = SortList.FindLastIndex(order => order.Workstation == i.Workstation);
WSMax = i.EndHour[JobNumMaxIndex];
}
}
}

Sorting string values without using any method/function

I trying to do sorting without use of any method or function
My Code :
string[] names = { "Flag", "Nest", "Cup", "Burg", "Yatch", "Next" };
string name = string.Empty;
Console.WriteLine("Sorted Strings : ");
for (int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++)
{
for (int j = i + 1; j < names.Length; j++)
{
for (int c = 0; c < names.Length; c++)
{
if (names[i][c] > names[j][c])
{
name = names[i];
names[i] = names[j];
names[j] = name;
}
}
}
Console.WriteLine(names[i]);
}
Please let me bring any solution for this code ?
In this code i am getting "Index was outside the bounds of the array" exception

int temp = 0;
int[] arr = new int[] { 20, 65, 98, 71, 64, 11, 2, 80, 5, 6, 100, 50, 13, 9, 80, 454 };
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
for (int j = i + 1; j < arr.Length; j++)
{
if (arr[i] > arr[j])
{
temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[i];
arr[i] = temp;
}
}
Console.WriteLine(arr[i]);
}
Console.ReadKey();

You need to implement a sorting algorithm.
A very simple algorithm you can implement is the insertion sort:
string[] names = { "Flag", "Nest", "Cup", "Burg", "Yatch", "Next" };
for (int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++)
{
var x = names[i];
var j = i;
while(j > 0 && names[j-1].CompareTo(x) > 0)
{
names[j] = names[j-1];
j = j-1;
}
names[j] = x;
}

string[] names = { "Flag", "Next", "Cup", "Burg", "Yatch", "Nest" };
string name = string.Empty;
Console.WriteLine("Sorted Strings : ");
for (int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++)
{
int c = 0;
for (int j = 1; j < names.Length; j++)
{
if (j > i)
{
Sort:
if (names[i][c] != names[j][c])
{
if (names[i][c] > names[j][c])
{
name = names[i];
names[i] = names[j];
names[j] = name;
}
}
else
{
c = c + 1;
goto Sort;
}
}
}
Console.WriteLine(names[i]);
}

I you were conflicting in length of names array and comparing string. Below is the working solution . I have tested it it's working now
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int min=0;
string[] names = { "Flag", "Nest", "Cup", "Burg", "Yatch", "Next" };
string name = string.Empty;
Console.WriteLine("Sorted Strings : ");
for (int i = 0; i < names.Length-1; i++)
{
for (int j = i + 1; j < names.Length;j++ )
{
if(names[i].Length < names[j].Length)
min =names[i].Length;
else
min =names[j].Length;
for(int k=0; k<min;k++)
{
if (names[i][k] > names[j][k])
{
name = names[i].ToString();
names[i] = names[j];
names[j] = name;
break;
}
else if(names[i][k] == names[j][k])
{
continue;
}
else
{
break;
}
}
}
}
for(int i= 0;i<names.Length;i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(names[i]);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}

You can do it using bubble sort:
Assume you have the array of names called name
The tempName is just to not change the original array (You can use the original array instead)
void sortStudentsAlphabetically()
{
int nameIndex;
string temp;
string[] tempName = name;
bool swapped = true;
for(int i = 0; i < name.Length-1 && swapped ; i++)
{
swapped = false;
for(int j = 0; j < name.Length-1; j++)
{
nameIndex = 0;
recheck:
if (name[j][nameIndex]> name[j+1][nameIndex])
{
temp = tempName[j];
tempName[j] = tempName[j+1];
tempName[j+1] = temp;
swapped = true;
}
if (name[j][nameIndex] == name[j + 1][nameIndex])
{
nameIndex++;
goto recheck;
}
}
}
foreach(string x in tempName)
{
Console.WriteLine(x);
}
}

User Below code :
int[] arrayList = new int[] {2,9,4,3,5,1,7};
int temp = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= arrayList.Length-1; i++)
{
for (int j = i+1; j < arrayList.Length; j++)
{
if (arrayList[i] > arrayList[j])
{
temp = arrayList[i];
arrayList[i] = arrayList[j];
arrayList[j] = temp;
}
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Sorting array in ascending order : ");
foreach (var item in arrayList)
{
Console.WriteLine(item);
}
Console.ReadLine();
Output:
Sorting array in ascending order : 1 2 3 4 5 7 9
