I'm new to coding and wrote this little console reading program to try and make sense of arrays, methods, etc.
I know my code is very faulty and probably not properly written (by book).
I would like some help on how to fix my program though, it has an issue where the console lets me input a number but it doesn't read from my choices method.
Any help would be greatly valued.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace PalacioGameImproved
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WelcomeMessage();
choices();
}
public static string WelcomeMessage()
{
string writeLines;
Console.WriteLine("Pick a DooWop");
Console.WriteLine("{0,15}", "0 = Johnny");
Console.WriteLine("{0,13}", "1 = Nick");
Console.WriteLine("{0,15}", "2 = Conrad");
Console.WriteLine("{0,14}", "3 = Diane");
Console.WriteLine("{0,13}", "4 = Rick");
writeLines = Console.ReadLine();
return writeLines;
}
public static void choices()
{
string[] names = new string[5];
names[0] = "Johnny";
names[1] = "Nick";
names[2] = "Conrad";
names[3] = "Diane";
names[4] = "Rick";
string UserInput = Console.ReadLine();
if (UserInput == "0")
{
Console.WriteLine("is it the array");
}
else if (UserInput == "1")
{
Console.WriteLine(names[1]);
}
else if (UserInput == "2")
{
Console.WriteLine(names[2]);
}
else if (UserInput == "3")
{
Console.WriteLine(names[3]);
}
else if (UserInput == "4")
{
Console.WriteLine(names[4]);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("That was not one of the choices, please try again.");
WelcomeMessage();
}
}
}
}
You use Console.ReadLine 2 times. .net Fiddle example Your code should be
using System;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
WelcomeMessage();
choices();
}
public static void WelcomeMessage()
{
Console.WriteLine("Pick a DooWop");
Console.WriteLine("{0,15}", "0 = Johnny");
Console.WriteLine("{0,13}", "1 = Nick");
Console.WriteLine("{0,15}", "2 = Conrad");
Console.WriteLine("{0,14}", "3 = Diane");
Console.WriteLine("{0,13}", "4 = Rick");
}
public static void choices()
{
string[] names = new string[5];
names[0] = "Johnny";
names[1] = "Nick";
names[2] = "Conrad";
names[3] = "Diane";
names[4] = "Rick";
string UserInput = Console.ReadLine();
if (UserInput == "0")
{
Console.WriteLine("is it the array");
}
else if (UserInput == "1")
{
Console.WriteLine(names[1]);
}
else if (UserInput == "2")
{
Console.WriteLine(names[2]);
}
else if (UserInput == "3")
{
Console.WriteLine(names[3]);
}
else if (UserInput == "4")
{
Console.WriteLine(names[4]);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("That was not one of the choices, please try again.");
WelcomeMessage();
}
}
}
