I need to display a Sheet so that the lines are aligned bottom and left. If there are no 10 characters in the word, the number of "+" characters is added so that the total of the line is 10 characters (see my output).
Why, when I print a List, I lose one row?
What's wrong with my piece of code? This matrix should be 10X10.
List<string> filtredList = new List<string>() { "Jacuzzi", "Action", "Chinchilla", "Squeezebox", "Academic", "Abstract" };
int row = 10;
filtredList = Sorting(filtredList); //method is sorting by descending.
foreach (var item in filtredList) Console.WriteLine("Item: " + item + " length: " + item.Length);
Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------");
//AFTER SORTING IN LIST:
//1)Squeezebox 2)Chinchilla 3)Academic 4)Abstract 5)Jacuzzi 6)Action
for (int i = 10; i > 0; i--)
{
try
{
if (filtredList[i].Length != 10)
{
Console.Write(filtredList[i]);
row = 10 - filtredList[i].Length;
Console.WriteLine(string.Concat(Enumerable.Repeat("+", row)));
}
else Console.WriteLine(filtredList[i]);
}
catch (SystemException)
{
row = 10;
Console.WriteLine(string.Concat(Enumerable.Repeat("+", row)));
}
}
Because your for
loop is never gets to 0:
for (int i = 10; i > 0; i--)
i
goes from 10 to 1 and that's why the first item of your list never prints.
Note:
Index of first item of an array or a list is 0
The better code would be:
for (int i = 9; i >= 0; i--)
Although you can use better alternatives for some of your code, but this will solve your problem.
EDIT:
You can use this approach (just change the for
part to this) to not raise any exceptions (because its not normally a use case for try-catch
)and also get faster results:
for (int i = 9; i >= 0; i--)
{
if (i < filtredList.Count)
{
if (filtredList[i].Length != 10)
{
Console.Write(filtredList[i]);
row = 10 - filtredList[i].Length;
Console.WriteLine(new string('+', row));
}
else Console.WriteLine(filtredList[i]);
}
else
{
row = 10;
Console.WriteLine(new string('+', row));
}
}
