Question

I could not find help for this in C#.

string snacks = Console.ReadLine();
snack = snacks.Split();

int points = 0;

now what?

you have to add 5 points for lettuce, carrot is 4, mango is 9, cheeseburg is 0.

foreach loop where points+=snacktype but obviously i am not sure. do i use snacks or snack based on the split?

Answer 1

Breanna Thompson ,

the beginning of the code should be:
...
string snacks = Console.ReadLine();
string[] snack = snacks.Split();

now you have an array of strings named *snack* that you can iterate over with a *foreach* loop.

Answer 2

Can you share link to your tryout code in post Description? need to see it first before saying something.

Basically you use a loop to walk the <snack> string array through. Checking whether any of the elements were either one of these as you go

"Lettuce" on which you add 5 to <points>

"Carrot" on which you add 4 to <points>

Or "Mango" on which you add 9 to <points>.

Once you walked through the <snack> array, use `if...else` conditional to assess whether <points> was enough to persuade it down, and what to output.

Careful with outputs, one small difference to the task requirement can fail you .,..

Answer 3

You can use if statements in the loop: if the current item equals "Carrot" you add the carrot points, and so on.
