[SOLVED] (Thank you) Queue it up Sololearn C# challenge

Question

I'm attempting to complete the challenge Queue it up, but I've encountered an issue with the Array.Sort(); command.

the challenge reads:

Write a program that will take 3 numbers as input and store them in a defined queue.
Also, add code to output the sorted sequence of elements in the queue separated by a space.

sample input
6
3
14

sample output
Queue: 6 3 14
Sorted: 3 6 14

To copy the queue into a new array use the ToArray() method of the queue: int[] arr = queue.ToArray();
Then, recall the Array.Sort() method

my code: (Edited - this code now completes the challenge)

id appreciate it if someone could take a look and explain where I'm going wrong please

Answer 1

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace consoleapp1
{
class program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Queue<int> q = new Queue<int>();

while (q.Count <3)
{
int num = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
q.Enqueue(num);
}
Console.Write("Queue: ");
foreach (int i in q)
Console.Write(i + " ");

Console.WriteLine();

Console.Write("Sorted: ");

int []x = q.ToArray();

Array.Sort(x);

foreach (int i in x)
Console.Write(i + " ");
}
}
}

Answer 2

q.ToArray(); This returns an Array from the Queue and needs to be set to a variable of the appropriate type. In this case an int array. Like;
int[] x = q.ToArray();

q.Sort(); Sort is a static method of the Array class, it sorts the array in-place and should be passed the value of the new previously created Array like;
Array.Sort(x);

Then you just need to change the last for loop from q to x.

Answer 3

Cheers again guys.

I've used the advice given and the code in my link now completes the challenge should anyone else experience similar issues with this one.

Answer 4

Cheers for the input guys. Ill have a proper look when i get home 👍

Answer 5

using System;
using System.Collections.Generics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Standard
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Queue<int> q = new Queue<int>();
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
int num = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
q.Enqueue(num);
}
Console.Write("Queue: ");
foreach (int i in q)
Console.Write(i + " ");
Console.WriteLine();

Console.Write("Sorted: ");

int[] array = q.ToArray();

Array.Sort(x);
foreach (int j in x)
Console.Write(i + " ");
}
}
}
