Help needed for the 5th C# project.

Question

Please this is my attempt at a solution:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Code_Coach_Challenge
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] words = {
"home",
"programming",
"victory",
"C#",
"football",
"sport",
"book",
"learn",
"dream",
"fun"
};

string letter = Console.ReadLine();

for(int count=0;count<10;count++)
{
if
(words[count].Contains(letter))
{
Console.WriteLine(words[count]);

}

else
{
continue;
Console.WriteLine("No match");

}

}

}
}

My problem deals with the "No match" code for no words found.

Answer 1

Eugene Asare you should save your code in the Sololearn playground and provide a link in your question, rather than pasting walls of code. That makes it easier to test and debug your code.
Here is a working version based on the bool test that was suggested by [No Name]
https://code.sololearn.com/coLNVD3GnQkJ/?ref=app

Answer 2

No match will never be executed, because you continue before. Try to continue after writing the line.

Console.WriteLine();
continue;

Answer 3

Alright, thanks for the advice. I'll put it into practice

Answer 4

Thanks also for the assist with the code.

Answer 5

You should try testing for no match after the for loop completes.

Answer 6

Thanks for the input. I got to produce the "No match" text but the problem lies with generating words for those with letters appearing in them.
For example:
Case 1. for input letter 'l'
The expected output is:
football
learn

The code solution generated:
No match
No match
No match
No match
football
No match
No match
learn
No match
No match

Case 2. for input letter 'z'
Expected output is:
"No match."

The code solution generated:
10 elements of No match (i.e No match outputted ten times ) instead of a single output as expected.

Would appreciate any further assistance

Answer 7

Of course it prints the result for every time it runs through your loop.

Just define a boolean variable out of the scope to check it like

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Code_Coach_Challenge
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] words = {
"home",
"programming",
"victory",
"C#",
"football",
"sport",
"book",
"learn",
"dream",
"fun"
};

string letter = Console.ReadLine();

boolean check = false;
for(int count=0;count<10;count++)
{
if
(words[count].Contains(letter))
{
check = true; Console.WriteLine(words[count]);

}

else
{
continue
}

If(!check) {
// no result
}

Answer 8

Yes please ,got the concept . I'll try implementing it , and get back to you with the feedback .Thanks

Answer 9

Still unsuccessful. Error message stating : The type or name space boolean could not be found .

Answer 10

I think it's bool not boolean sorry 😂

Answer 11

No prob, will try again

Answer 12

It was a decent effort but problem with the no match output with the found text still persists. I had hope to segregate the two outputs using two for loops or nested for loops but the results keep affecting each other .

Answer 13

Just set up a project here or on github and link it to me

Answer 14

Could pls you walk me through how I would extract the project from and link it to you?

Answer 15

Yeah, I attempted that at first but the bug still persisted

Answer 16

Actually fucked up the example because writing on my phone haha

But you got my point
