I'm having problems with SoloLearn's Compiler... Any help?

Question

I ran the code below for the New drivers license Coach problem:
string name = Console.ReadLine();
int number = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
string[] people = new string[5];
people[0] = name;
for(int i = 1; i < 5; i++){
people[i] = Console.ReadLine();
}
Array.Sort(people);
int nameIndex = Array.IndexOf(people , name);
int minutes = (nameIndex + 1)/ number * 20;
Console.Write(minutes);

With the inputs, Aaron, 1, Jane, Max, Olivia, Sam... It returns 80 instead of 20, I tried the same code on Vs and I got 20

Answer 1

Here problem contains 3 lines of input..
Ex:
Aron
1
Jan Max Olivia Sam
By your code 3rd line entirely goes to people[1], next 2 to 4 stores empty string...
So while sorting empty string comes first 0,1,2 positions of array. So nameIndex = 3
So you get 80. Hence

Read the third line into a string and split into array values.. Then you get the correct result.

I think you replied something before this but I forgot to reply.. If not ingore this..
The input will be provided to this is in the form as I given example above.. You should write Program according to that..
And
You're Wel come....

Answer 3

Oh.. Why to give up?
In c# also, you can apply just a split statement like this..

string name = Console.ReadLine();
int number = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
String s=Console.ReadLine();

s = s+" "+name ;
string[] people = s.Split();

Array.Sort(people);

Answer 4

Thank you...

Answer 5

Yes, you are very much right. I corrected it with python because I don't like manipulating arrays/lists with C# and it worked. Thanks again.

Oh... Thanks a lot!
