structs and arrays

Question

I'm completing a question, it requires me to calculate profit from a set of three structs. they are, customer info, product info and order info.
The code currently displayed, when running, only prints out the first product in a users order, then skips straight to a new line.
the layout for order info is: order No. Customer ID, List of products separated by a comma.

Answer 1

These lines were taken from LoadOrders :

string[] Values = Lines[i].Split(',');
pOrder[i].ordernumber = int.Parse(Values[0]);
pOrder[i].customerid = int.Parse(Values[1]);
pOrder[i].productorder = Values[2];

*And your final paragraph in the question :

"the layout for order info is: order No. Customer ID, List of products separated by a comma."

string[] Values = Lines[i].Split(',');

Splits the Lines[i] using comma as delimiter, so, when it sees that there's a comma, which you used as product list separator, it thinks that it is a new line, instead of product list separator.

Maybe, you need to come up with a new idea, what you should be using as product list separator. :)

Hope I get your question correctly,

Answer 4

if I declare the array inside the struct, i.e public string[] product order; the array doesn't exist outside the struct, firstly, how would I get it to exist outside, and secondly, how would I add the values to the product order array

Answer 5

??????

Answer 6

I've updated the code, not sure if it's correct, but the array productorder doesn't exist still

Answer 7

it gets the stuff to write, however, it's writing system . string []

Answer 8

it does that, however, the output is system.string [ ]
rather than the id.
code has been updated

Answer 9

I would like it to print the products for each customer's order

Answer 10

no, it either generates huge spaces, or doesn't print all of a person's order
