if ur on a Console Project just use Console.WriteLine to print the property names and their values

Console.WriteLine("Title: " + Title);

Console.WriteLine("Title: " + Title);

for example, I want to output like this: Title: Spicy-Sweet Glazed Salmon Type: Lunch Number: 2 Difficulty: Intermediate Ingredients: 2 Now it's only outputting the values Unfortunately, I couldn't accomplish this!

on the same line?

Console.WriteLine("Title: " + Title);
Console.WriteLine("Type: " + Type);
Console.WriteLine("Number: " + Number);
Console.WriteLine("Difficulty: " + Difficulty);
Console.WriteLine("Ingredients: " + Ingredients);

Console.WriteLine("Title: " + Title);
Console.WriteLine("Type: " + Type);
Console.WriteLine("Number: " + Number);
Console.WriteLine("Difficulty: " + Difficulty);
Console.WriteLine("Ingredients: " + Ingredients);

Ok Great! I'll give it a try.

Unfortunately! I got errors.

you need a reference of your recipe instance in order to access its members eg

Console.WriteLine("Title: " + recipe1.Title);

Console.WriteLine("Title: " + recipe1.Title);

TheRanger•3y ago

my example was just if you use that code inside Recipe's method

The king of kingsOP•3y ago

You're awesome bro, it worked just I expected 😃 Oh my god! I spent days trying to figure out this and you just solved it in minutes.

TheRanger•3y ago

you're just missing the basic knowledge of C# try studying C# from $helloworld

literally the 2nd video teaches you that 1st video is just an introduction

The king of kingsOP•3y ago

I am so terrible at coding and creating projects. How do you know all that? How could solve this although it's not mentioned in the document?

TheRanger•3y ago

what document?

I mean the Microsoft tutorial

TheRanger•3y ago

it is mentioned string concatenation is one of the fundamentals of C#

I've been watching C# tutorials for many months but I don't feel I'm doing any progress.

TheRanger•3y ago

one of the first things you learn

The king of kingsOP•3y ago

Ok I would like to ask you guys, do you guys recommend me to purchase a good course to be able to learn the fundemantls or should I just continue practice? I feel like I'm wasting many days every time I encounter an issue of finding the right code to implement any project.

Aha! Ok! Great to hear that, then I'll take your advice. That's right

Ok! The problem with google is that you don't find the specific solution for your project.

Ok! I was thinking of this way too in order to shorten the lines of code. Instead of adding all these. Console.WriteLine("Title: " + recipe1.Title); Console.WriteLine("Type: " + recipe1.Type); Console.WriteLine("Number: " + recipe1.Number); Console.WriteLine("Difficulty: " + recipe1.Difficulty); Console.WriteLine("Ingredients: " + recipe1.Ingredients

TheRanger•3y ago

you could, with System.Reflection methods

        foreach(var property in recipe1.GetType().GetProperties())
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{property.Name}: {property.GetValue(recipe1)}");
        }

        foreach(var property in recipe1.GetType().GetProperties())
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{property.Name}: {property.GetValue(recipe1)}");
        }

that will iterate through each property of recipe1, prints its name and its value

The king of kingsOP•3y ago

I typed instead in this way but it didn't seem right to me Console.WriteLine($"Title: " + recipe1.Title + "Type: " + recipe1.Type + "Number: " + recipe1.Number + "Difficulty: " + recipe1.Difficulty + "Ingredients: " + recipe1.Ingredients);

TheRanger•3y ago

you can only write this code once, and all types of C# can use it by just replacing recipe1 with a type of object that can be passed through an argument of a method that will just print your data on the same line

The king of kingsOP•3y ago

yeah

TheRanger•3y ago

u can put a "\n" or Environment.NewLine between the string to append a new line

MODiX•3y ago

TheRanger#3357

REPL Result: Success

Console.WriteLine($"Hello \nWorld{Environment.NewLine}How's life");

Console.WriteLine($"Hello \nWorld{Environment.NewLine}How's life");

Console Output

Hello 
World
How's life

Hello 
World
How's life

Oh! Really, I didn't know that.

TheRanger•3y ago

google won't really help if you're trying to search for a specific solution, just take the course i linked above

The king of kingsOP•3y ago

I tried to add the but didn't accomplish it Console.WriteLine($"Title: " + recipe1.Title{Environment.NewLine} + "Type: " + recipe1.Type \n+ "Number: " + recipe1.Number + "Difficulty: " + recipe1.Difficulty + "Ingredients: " + recipe1.Ingredients);

\n it works if I add it like this "title: \n" but then the value property is not append with theTitle Ok! I'll do that.

Ok Title: Spicy-Sweet Glazed Salmon Type: Lunch Number: 2 I didn't get the rest like (Difficulty & Ingridents) It's fixed now! I had to add the get; set; for both

As matus mentioned, what if I wanted to create recipe2, and recipe3 should I copy all these codes 2 times in order to create a total of 3 receipies?

Monsieur Wholesome•3y ago

If you do the same steps at multiple places, where the only things different is the variable, you will want to write a method for it

Unknown User•3y ago

thats where you create methods to avoid writing repeated codes

Ok! I guess I need to review again the same content that provides the feature that's required in a project. Hey everyone, I have updated my code and I hope I got it right since it's meant to be a practicing project. https://paste.mod.gg/
