[SOLVED] (Thank you) Top of the leaderboard

Question

I'm working on top of the leaderboard challenge which reads like this:

"You need to write a program for the game to sort player scores.
The program you are given takes N number as input, which represents the number of players, and defines a score list.
Complete the program to take N count of numbers (the scores) as input, store them in a scores list, sort and output them, each separated by a space.

Sample Input
3
12
4
5

Sample Output
4 5 12

You need to execute the Add() method inside the while loop"

my code is here:

its taking the input correctly but refusing to output. I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look and nudge me in the direction of where I'm going wrong please.

Answer 1

The main problem is there:
foreach (int playerscore in scores)
{
scores.Add(score);
}
This loop will never run because before running this loop there will be no value inside scores. So it never adds anything to scores and therefore in the end you get no output.
Next,
You have written like this to print the output:
foreach (int score in scores)
{
scores.Sort();
Console.Write(scores + " ");
}
I don't really think you need to sort again and again inside the loop. It's better to sort outside the loop and then print only the numbers. Also, you are printing scores not score. So it would print the object, not the value . That's why it's better not to use similar words.
So after solving these bugs your code would be like this:

Answer 2

yeah! thanks bro

Answer 3

The correct answer:
while (count<numOfPlayers)
{
int score = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
//your code goes here
scores.Add(score);
count++;
}

//sort the list and output elements

scores.Sort();
foreach (int playerScore in scores)
{
Console.Write(playerScore + " ");
}

Answer 4

Always welcome bro.

Answer 5

thank you very much. that did the trick. I've adjusted the code in my original post to reflect the changes, and now the code works to complete the challenge!
