✅ C sharp help

Hello, I'm working on a C# assignment and could use some help. The assignment involves creating a really easy code on building a "calendar"( when you click 1, the answer is monday etc). Specifically, I'm having trouble with if statements and the else if. If anyone is proficient in C# and would be willing to assist me, please send me a DM. Thank you!

it's good to start by posting relevant code

MayoWAA!•2y ago

then use a switch statement, but relevant code is helpful

@donteventry143 you can use this as an example I just wrote.

int _calendarIndex;
            string[] days = new string[] {"Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"};
            Console.Write("Please give in day number: ");
            _calendarIndex = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
            Console.WriteLine($"Selected day is: {days[--_calendarIndex]}");
            Console.ReadKey();

int _calendarIndex;
            string[] days = new string[] {"Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"};
            Console.Write("Please give in day number: ");
            _calendarIndex = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
            Console.WriteLine($"Selected day is: {days[--_calendarIndex]}");
            Console.ReadKey();

Since its basic code the only "advanced" thing used is an Array.

First of all, keep your code clean

donteventry143OP•2y ago

I am really new to coding its my first time taking this calss

Preda•2y ago

Press CTRL + A and then CTRL + K + D

donteventry143OP•2y ago

class* ok one sec just did it

Preda•2y ago

Send in again now

donteventry143OP•2y ago

Im just not sure how to write a code so that if the user enters a number that is not 1-7 he will get error as an answer but if he does, the answer is today is a ___ ! without error message

Preda•2y ago

So I won't do the work, I will just guide you.

donteventry143OP•2y ago

Preda•2y ago

Hover your cursor on the error What is it saying?

donteventry143OP•2y ago

donteventry143OP•2y ago

no clue what this means

Preda•2y ago

Don t mind that

donteventry143OP•2y ago

i think the last 2 lines of code dont work

Preda•2y ago

Show the error (which is marked with the red X)

donteventry143OP•2y ago

would it make sense to use a if statement for what i am trying to do>

Preda•2y ago

The code is 90% correct

donteventry143OP•2y ago

I am struggling with the last part

donteventry143OP•2y ago

Preda•2y ago

All right so

donteventry143OP•2y ago

I dont know how and if i can make an if statement for what i am trying to do

Preda•2y ago

While using an IF statement Nvm So

donteventry143OP•2y ago

can I do an if statement and make it like if x = to multiple things or that is what you are trying to say like i can not do that

Preda•2y ago

Do you know these 2 operator? "&&" and "||"

donteventry143OP•2y ago

never seen those yet

Preda•2y ago

So && stand for AND So when you use it

donteventry143OP•2y ago

oh got it let me try it

Preda•2y ago

You can have 2 conditions to be fulfied Both have to be true When using || it means OR So you have 2 conditions and only one has to be fulfied

donteventry143OP•2y ago

donteventry143OP•2y ago

like this? and I also had another question how would I write the else if weekdayREsult = to like anything else meaning nothing from 1 to 7

Preda•2y ago

Will your weekdayResult be fullfied to 7 diffrent answers or just 1?

donteventry143OP•2y ago

i am not sure if i understand your question when my code runs you are just supposed to enter a number 1 through 7 to get a different day and get error if we enter anythign else

Preda•2y ago

I am trying to make you understand the logic behind it I can also provide you the code

donteventry143OP•2y ago

oh i found an error

Preda•2y ago

But you won t learn anything from it

donteventry143OP•2y ago

donteventry143OP•2y ago

shouldnt it be day number in the before last line?

Preda•2y ago

Hover your cursor on the red line to see detail And tell me what is it telling

donteventry143OP•2y ago

operator && can not be applied to strings

Preda•2y ago

So that means you have to make your daynumber an INT Instead of string

donteventry143OP•2y ago

donteventry143OP•2y ago

now that i changed it to int

Preda•2y ago

Since your daynumber is a INT you can t use == with other types Line 8 For example

donteventry143OP•2y ago

but once i remove one of the =, it still dosent seem to work and can you check your dms? @Preda

Preda•2y ago

Ok
