I need help with fourms

I made a project to do a password checker and generator. i done most of it. But i am struggling how to make the password checker check if it uses the qwerty format. and to make a score by it.

what would be the problem qwerty is literally qwertyuiop asdfghjkl zxcvbnm so you have to compare that with the password

my approach would be to use a sliding window over the password, length 3, then for each window, check if the window exists in either of the three qwerty-strings

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

I dont understand how to check if it contains that or not

Pobiega•8mo ago

check my message just above yours

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

how do i do that

Pobiega•8mo ago

Do you know what a sliding window is?

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

no all of this is confusing me too much. I am new to fourms i watched a tutorial video. its not helping that much i cant lie.

Pobiega•8mo ago

This has nothing to do with forms

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

Oh i need this in fourms. I did it in console first.

Pobiega•8mo ago

Sure, but as said, it's not relevant

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

but i didnt know i had to fo it in forms Ok @Pobiega what is sliding window never heard of it

Pobiega•8mo ago

A sliding window in coding is a restricted view of a larger something Let's say the password is abcde We want to look if ABC, BCD or CDE is in your "bad" sequences It's a "window" of length 3 that "slides" over the total

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

oh will it check for both capital and normal letters or do i have to do it differently for both.

Pobiega•8mo ago

It won't do anything, it's something you will have to code. But you can easily normalize it so it's case insensitive

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

I dont understand how it helps tho. or how i code it

Pobiega•8mo ago

Well you need to know if there are any sequence of three characters in the password that is directly from the qwerty layout Can you really not see how a sliding window would help with that?

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

no I am still clueless.

Pobiega•8mo ago

Well, it's unfortunate you didn't answer earlier, cause I'm just about to head to bed

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

Could you help me tmr?

Pobiega•8mo ago

But try to think of a way to do this by hand

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

perhaps

Pobiega•8mo ago

Maybe?

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

ok sleep well

Pobiega•8mo ago

Step one is to figure out the problem. Step two is to come up with a solution. Step three is translating that solution into code.

This is a "sliding window" over a string. The window length is 3. so for this string, we'd get 3 results back. for each of these results, we test if that 3-length string exists in any of the known qwerty strings you'd then do something like...

var password = "hellofghjhello"; // get this from the form

foreach (var window in password.Window(3)) // Window is a custom extension method
{
    if (IsSequenceFromQwerty(window))
    {
        // You would probably just increment a count here and return the count, or do the score caluclations directly
        Console.WriteLine($"Found sequence: {window}");
    }
}

// this is the signature of the extension method
static IEnumerable<string> Window(this string source, int size)

var password = "hellofghjhello"; // get this from the form

foreach (var window in password.Window(3)) // Window is a custom extension method
{
    if (IsSequenceFromQwerty(window))
    {
        // You would probably just increment a count here and return the count, or do the score caluclations directly
        Console.WriteLine($"Found sequence: {window}");
    }
}

// this is the signature of the extension method
static IEnumerable<string> Window(this string source, int size)

how to implement the Window and IsSequenceFromQwerty methods is up to you.

Pobiega•8mo ago

do you get the idea?

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

kind of So i use the sliding window to make sure if there is qwerty or not. but in order to use it i have to download it. right from extensions

Pobiega•8mo ago

.. download it? what no you write it

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

Pobiega•8mo ago

its just a simple method.

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

Pobiega•8mo ago

also, eh.. you use it as part of your solution, specifically the "any sequence of length 3" part

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

oh ok

Pobiega•8mo ago

the sliding window itself doesnt know or care about qwerty

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

So i have to add the qwerty part.

Pobiega•8mo ago

Did you read the snippet I sent? and the messages around it? ...

yea

Pobiega•8mo ago

You have to implement the two methods that don't exist in that snippet of code Window might be a little tricky, but it's also a fairly common thing so should be googlable The qwerty one should be pretty easy

vibing subsOP•8mo ago

aight i do that
