Can someone please tell me what's wrong with my code? It's doing weird things.

Answer 1

I'd like it to write the words individually without spaces (or underscore in this case), like this:
hello
world
so
what
But there are errors at the end that I can't explain. Sorry, the extra messages and underscores were for testing and debugging.

Answer 2

Yes, the redundancy is because I thought the variables some how weren't updating and I forgot to change it back. The IndexOf only has one attribute because I heard that default was the end of the string.
But I guess I don't have to explain myself if it's wrong. How do I "contain" a string?

Answer 3

Sorry I had trouble reading you code.
Determining whether something was extra debugging or a intended sequence.

So I wrote my own code.
First of all now everything passes the same lines

Have a look and let me know if this meets the requirements.
Do not copy the code.
Read it and understand what it is doing.

Answer 4

Wow, that's exactly what I wanted and very poetic I might add. And no, I'm not in school. I just didn't know about that, I'm still learning : ) thank you
p.s. I like your name

Answer 5

What is going wrong ?

if I put in "hello world"
the output is "hello world"

if I put in "hello_world_so_what"
I get a lot of writeline, that have a almost correct output
But I do not know what to expect

Can you tell me what you expect in the sentence
"hello_world_so_what"

Answer 6

There are a lot of redundant lines that try do the same, but fail because they are slightly different.

First explain substring and indexof

https://www.dotnetperls.com/substring
Substring
Use the Substring method with start and length ints
So substring uses startposition and length of the string

Indexof
https://www.dotnetperls.com/indexof
Call the IndexOf method. IndexOf returns the first index of specified character or substring.
Hello_
012345
//start counting at zero
//give position including the character it self

So to print "hello"
do
int s = text.IndexOf("_");
string w = text.Substring(0,s);

to be continued

Answer 7

At first, you use .substring with only one attribute , this causes errors, at second indexOf returns something weird(propably -1) if the string you search for isnt contained, that means that you use this weird value to get the next substring so you again run into an error.

Additional comment.

I am not sure if you are allowed or you are doing school work and it is not allowed.
