i want it to make it so you cant get into the same floor if you already in case 1 for example i want to type out a message that says you area already in the "bla bla" area for an example dont know if that is possible tho with case

TheRanger•2y ago

you need to store at what floor ur currently at to a variable

Squirtle•2y ago

so how do i that ? should i use bool ? tried some things with bool

TheRanger•2y ago

bool can't store numbers

Squirtle•2y ago

ah int ?

TheRanger•2y ago

yes

Squirtle•2y ago

should i use if ?

TheRanger•2y ago

yes ofcourse,

Squirtle•2y ago

i should put the if under/above row 6 correct?

TheRanger•2y ago

check if ur not in the same floor as the floor ur trying to go to that wouldn't work as you havent chosen the new floor yet

Squirtle•2y ago

tried adding an int floor and then when you are in floor 1, floor gets increased to 1

TheRanger•2y ago

also create methods to avoid repeating codes

Squirtle•2y ago

like ? ah

TheRanger•2y ago

u repeated alot of the same code in your cases

Squirtle•2y ago

yeah true

TheRanger•2y ago

whats only different is the welcome messages, so use a method parameter for that

Squirtle•2y ago

true, true floor = 1; for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) { Console.WriteLine(i + "Seconds"); Thread.Sleep(500); // stannar programkörningen } Console.Clear(); Console.WriteLine("Welcome to Sellingarea"); if (floor == switcher) { Console.WriteLine("You are already in the sellingarea"); } tried that but didnt work since switcher is already 1 and yeah hahah

TheRanger•2y ago

u check before you enter the switch statement

Squirtle•2y ago

how do i make it so i enter switch statement first before checking

TheRanger•2y ago

why would u enter the switch statement before checking if u are in the same floor?

Dam thx Really appreciate kt

nahr•2y ago

It's not perfection, but hopefully it can help you to continue your own refactor and test some funny stuff

TheRanger•2y ago

ReadInput()'s if condition if false it would return the value of the switcher (a number equal than or less than 0 or a number more than 4

Squirtle•2y ago

never understood return what is the function of it

TheRanger•2y ago

int number = Sum(2, 2); // number is now equals 4
int Sum(int a, int b)
{
     return a + b;
}

int number = Sum(2, 2); // number is now equals 4
int Sum(int a, int b)
{
     return a + b;
}

you can get an idea from this example

did it like this and it works amazingly but when i put in a letter it goes to case 0 thats the only problem i have otherwise its perfect in my eyes hahha

TheRanger•2y ago

when it fails to parse switcher becomes 0 by default you should wrap ur tryparse in a while loop

Squirtle•2y ago

ah thx

TheRanger•2y ago

like this

while (true)
{
    if (!int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out switcher) || switcher < 0 || switcher > 4)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Type a button between 0-4 to get to the floors");
    }
    else
    {
       break; // this breaks out of the while loop
    }
}

while (true)
{
    if (!int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out switcher) || switcher < 0 || switcher > 4)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Type a button between 0-4 to get to the floors");
    }
    else
    {
       break; // this breaks out of the while loop
    }
}
