Question

Only the second test case fails and I don’t know how to fix it. You need to get 10 points and he’ll come down, else he stays. Here’s my code:

int b = 0;
string[] a = Console.ReadLine().Split(' ');

if(a.Contains("Cheeseburger")){
b+=0;
}
if(a.Contains("Lettuce")){
b+=5;
}
if(a.Contains("Carrot")){
b+=4;
}

if(a.Contains("Mango")){
b+=9;
}

if(b >= 10){
Console.WriteLine("Come on Down!");
}
else if(b < 10){
Console.WriteLine("Time to wait");

Answer 1

In the if-else part, you need to change "a" to "c", e.g.
c.Contains("Mango")

Answer 2

You could use a for-loop or a foreach-loop to iterate the string array. On each iteration, check which food it is and add the corresponding number to "b".

Answer 3

If the input contains "Carrots" 3 times, we need to thr number 3 times.

Your code would only add it once.

Answer 4

Ok, but how should i check if there is a word multiple times?

Answer 5

Ok thank you!!!

Answer 6

Thanks for the help, but now it fails only the fourth case, which was correct before.

Answer 7

Heres the new code with a forach loop:
int b = 0;
string[] a = Console.ReadLine().Split(' ');

foreach(string c in a){

if(a.Contains("Cheeseburger")){
b+=0;
}
if(a.Contains("Lettuce")){
b+=5;
}
if(a.Contains("Carrot")){
b+=4;
}

if(a.Contains("Mango")){
b+=9;
}
}

if(b >= 10){
Console.WriteLine("Come on Down!");
}
else if(b < 10){
Console.WriteLine("Time to wait");
