changed it slightly

Buddy•3mo ago

How do you set the value of a variable? and how do you check if a value is equals to another value?

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

you just.. use =? ==..? im trying to get it to return false if the email doesnt have a @ and a .

Buddy•3mo ago

Correct and check your code

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

Buddy•3mo ago

Read it out for yourself

Buddy•3mo ago

also I suggest you check Microsoft documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/statements/selection-statements#the-if-statement

if and switch statements - select a code path to execute - C# refer...

The if and switch statements provide branching logic in C#. You use if, else and switch` to choose the path your program follows.

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

but apparently..

Buddy•3mo ago

compare your if statement to what you wrote earlier Setting the value versus comparing a value

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

all i did was add a space to else if and change the = to ==

Buddy•3mo ago

And one more thing. Compare the example given in the microsoft documentation Last thing You have a character in your code that does not exist in the example

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

im ngl i dont understand the documentation at all i leant c# in 3 hours for school the basic basics ofc

Buddy•3mo ago

    if (char.IsUpper(ch))
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"An uppercase letter: {ch}");
    }
    else if (char.IsLower(ch))
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"A lowercase letter: {ch}");
    }
    else if (char.IsDigit(ch))
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"A digit: {ch}");
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Not alphanumeric character: {ch}");
    }

    if (char.IsUpper(ch))
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"An uppercase letter: {ch}");
    }
    else if (char.IsLower(ch))
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"A lowercase letter: {ch}");
    }
    else if (char.IsDigit(ch))
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"A digit: {ch}");
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Not alphanumeric character: {ch}");
    }

Do you see any semicolons in the if-statement?

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

nope huh

Buddy•3mo ago

Now, do you see any in yours?

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

well yeah but if i get rid of it

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

it tells me to add it back

Buddy•3mo ago

Please show the code

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

Buddy•3mo ago

variables cannot have a space in them

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

oh oops

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

yeah.. idk if i can cope with this

Buddy•3mo ago

What exactly do you want to make?

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

i want to input text and check to see if it has at least 1 @ and 1 . if it doesnt have both then it tells you your email is invalid

Buddy•3mo ago

Name your class Program change main to Main with a capital M, and remove all the parameters and put string[] args instead. Unless you have the ability to use top-level statements that's what you have to do.

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

mkay

Buddy•3mo ago

But I have no idea what the site requires.

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

idk either i just cant use vscode so im stuck with this random compiler since vscode refuses to run

Buddy•3mo ago

Did you follow this $vscode ?

MODiX•3mo ago

Follow the instructions here on getting started with DevKit for C# in VSCode: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/csharp/get-started

Get started with C# and .NET in Visual Studio Code

Getting Started with C# and .NET Development in Visual Studio Code

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

yup doesnt work

Buddy•3mo ago

It might be easier to use Visual Studio Community 2022 VSCode is not for beginners And is not the same program as Visual Studio Community VS is an IDE whereas VSCode is not. meaning VS will install everything you need.

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

i tried using vs 2022 also didnt work i can retry though

Buddy•3mo ago

define didn't work

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

like i tried running some program and it gave me errors not related to the program at all that i didnt understand i asked for help

Buddy•3mo ago

any examples?

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

one second

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

just didnt wanna work in vs 2022 but it worked on this random compiler ill reinstall vs 2022 but idk if i can get it to work

Buddy•3mo ago

$newproject

MODiX•3mo ago

When creating a new project, prefer using .NET over .NET Framework, unless you have a very specific reason to be using .NET Framework. .NET Framework is now legacy code and only get security fix updates, it no longer gets new features and is not recommended. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/569261465463160900/899381236617855016/unknown.png

Buddy•3mo ago

Make sure you use .NET (and not .NET Framework) Not that it has anything to do with the error. and worst case scenario you might just need to reinstall .NET

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

ive installed it 3 times literally 64 bit and 82(or 84 idk) bit

Buddy•3mo ago

I can't see any errors with that code. Did you copy paste it?

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

yeah copy pasted 1 to 1

Buddy•3mo ago

Then that might be it You could've accidentally pasted an invisible character And site maybe filters those out.

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

ok im signing into vs2022

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

i assume its this

Buddy•3mo ago

Make sure you do not open a folder as C# is project based and not file based

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

Buddy•3mo ago

so please go through the project wizard by pressing new project

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

Buddy•3mo ago

You must install the .net desktop development workload you can find it by running Visual Studio Installer and pressing modify There should be an app installed when you install Visual Studio, so you can just search for it

Buddy•3mo ago

This should be checked

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

alright

Buddy•3mo ago

for you it's called .NET desktop development I don't have visual studio installed so it's called so for me because I only have the build tools (without the IDE).

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

im downloading it at m

Buddy•3mo ago

Sweet!

Buddy•3mo ago

After it's installed you should see a bunch of templates to your right. Here:

Buddy•3mo ago

Then you create a Console Application project and you'll have a template ready to go

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

this framework?

Buddy•3mo ago

That runtime, correct. Remember what I said before about top-level statements?

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

yeah using string [] args

Buddy•3mo ago

This time you don't have to do so.

Buddy•3mo ago

C#/VB/F# compiler playground.

Buddy•3mo ago

Left side is your code; right side is what the compiler spits out (meaning not something you have to write). So you can forget about the entry-point

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

oooh

Buddy•3mo ago

That's what top-level statements does. Note that it is only for one file (the entry-point)

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

ok i wanna ask something though see how i kinda need to check if @ is entered right is IndexOf the right way to do that?

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

cause these r the errors im getting

Buddy•3mo ago

It's definitely a fast way of doing so, yes. You can however optimize it by instead declaring @ as a char meaning a single character you can do so like this

char at = '@';

char at = '@';

those single quotations means a character

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

ah mk ok so if i make Isearch a bool itll return false if @ isnt entered right?

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

here

Buddy•3mo ago

Oh, yeah. IndexOf returns the index of where the character was found I suggest reading the documentation of IndexOf https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string.indexof?view=net-8.0 Specifically this

Reports the zero-based index of the first occurrence of a specified Unicode character or string within this instance. The method returns -1 if the character or string is not found in this instance.

The latter part

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

so itll return -1 if its not found alright

Buddy•3mo ago

Correct

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

ill just check to see if -1 is returned then

Buddy•3mo ago

Correct

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

i can do that by.... doing if Isearch == -1 right?

Buddy•3mo ago

First you must change your ISearch's to an integer but yes, and that means it has not been found in the text

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

done

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

getting a lot of red lines thats perfectly fine thats what I want

Buddy•3mo ago

You cannot declare variables multiple times check your code again

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

oops i thought you could ok apparently i cant use or thats different from python

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

Buddy•3mo ago

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/boolean-logical-operators#conditional-logical-and-operator- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/boolean-logical-operators#conditional-logical-or-operator-

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

so && is or thats what im getting

Buddy•3mo ago

Read again

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

or is it ||??

Buddy•3mo ago

Yes, || is OR

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

oh ok thats kinda cryptic

Buddy•3mo ago

Remember what I mentioned earlier, the semicolon

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

...

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

OH right

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

now..

Buddy•3mo ago

if you want to combine them, it must be in a single if (foo == true || bar == false) { .. } and that means IF foo is true OR bar is false THEN (pseudocode)

'brella boyOP•3mo ago

ah i see IT WORKS OH MY DAYS IT WORKS YOURE A GODSEND

Buddy•3mo ago

Amazing! That's all I can help you for today. Good luck on your journey! 👋
