Nested For loop not printing - c#

I'm coding a nested for loop to fill a multidimensional array and have run into, not necessarily a problem, but a conundrum. First i'll explain that the code does what i want it to do which is fill a multi dimensional array completely with something; for now that something is the number 1. My conundrum comes when inside the for loop i have a "print()" function. To clear things up im coding c# inside unity.
static int[,] array;
array = new int[5,5];
for(int x = 0; x < 5; x++){
print("outer: " + x);
for (int y = 0; y < 5; y++){
print("-inner: " + y);
array [x, y] = 1;
}
}
The output is:
outer: 0
-inner: 0
-inner: 1
-inner: 2
-inner: 3
-inner: 4
outer: 1
outer: 2
outer: 3
outer: 4
It won't print inner between ever outer yet when outside the for loop i directly try to print something like:
print("data: " + array[2,3]);
It outputs:
data: 1
So its clearly filling the array using the nested for loops but it isn't printing out my string every time it iterates within the nested for loop. Is there a reason for this?

It isn't about for loop or another coding thing! Just disable the "Collapse" option from your Unity editor's "Console" and it is OK.
If you enable it, it will only print each unique message once with a counter on the right side indicating the number of times it printed.

Second for loop isn't running inside my update

This if statement within the update() have 2 for-loop, but it only runs the first one after the if condition is activated, and I don't know why.
I'm building a code for path optimizing in unity. Currently I have to find out the path that came across the nodes/points/positions with a certain positions array that the index is the order the path should follow. Some path between 2 nodes are repeated , ex: A to B and B to A is consider the same path and shall thicken the width of line AB eventually rendered. So I tried to sort out the position array into 2 different array for comparing if any of the pair of nodes(or we can say line) is repeated. And I encountered a problem in if statement within the update().
The first should sort out the original array for later comparison. The second one is just for testing if the first one do their job. No comparing yet. However after hitting play and satisfy the if statement I can see all the Debug.log in the first one, everything is normal, the sorting is normal, while the second one just doesn't print anything at all.
I tried comment out the first one, and the second one will run.
I tried to put second one outside the if statement, after it, and without commenting the first one, the second one won't run.
I tried to put the second one before the first one, in the if statement, the second one will run and the first one won't.
So I think this might be some kind of syntax error or am I using the if statement wrong? Please help.
if (l > 0)//activate when we choose any preset processes
{
for (int n = 0; n <= positions.Length; n++)//this loop will sort all the pos1 and pos 2 into array for current frame
{
curPos_1 = positions[n];//current position of node 1
curPos_2 = positions[n + 1];
Debug.Log("CURPOS_1 of line number " + n + " is " + curPos_1);
Debug.Log("CURPOS_2 of line number " + n + " is " + curPos_2);
flag[n] = 0;
Pos_1[n] = curPos_1;
Pos_2[n] = curPos_2;
Debug.Log("POS_1 array of line number " + n + " is " + Pos_1[n]);
Debug.Log("POS_2 array of line number " + n + " is " + Pos_2[n]);
}
for (int o = 0; o <= positions.Length; o++)
{
Debug.Log("flag of number " + o + " is " + flag[o]);
}
}
As described, all for loop should print something. Not just one of it.
Have you checked your Unity Console Window ?
In your first loop you get the next item but its condition will fail at the end, i.e. off by one.
Correct code should be something like this:
var floats = new float[100];
for (var i = 0; i < floats.Length - 1; i++)
{
var f1 = floats[i];
var f2 = floats[i + 1];
}
Now, Unity, has a behavior of ON ERROR RESUME NEXT, so it's highly probable that an error has occured but you haven't seen it (did you turn off the red icon for toggling errors in console ?).
Also, for some conditions only you know about (you didn't post the whole context), it could work once after you've changed some state of your program.

Find remaining elements in the sequence

everyone. I've this small task to do:
There are two sequences of numbers:
A[0], A[1], ... , A[n].
B[0], B[1], ... , B[m].
Do the following operations with the sequence A:
Remove the items whose indices are divisible by B[0].
In the items remained, remove those whose indices are divisible by B[1].
Repeat this process up to B[m].
Output the items finally remained.
Input is like this: (where -1 is delimiter for two sequences A and B)
1 2 4 3 6 5 -1 2 -1
Here goes my code (explanation done via comments):
List<int> result = new List<int>(); // list for sequence A
List<int> values = new List<int>(); // list for holding value to remove
var input = Console.ReadLine().Split().Select(int.Parse).ToArray();
var len = Array.IndexOf(input, -1); // getting index of the first -1 (delimiter)
result = input.ToList(); // converting input array to List
result.RemoveRange(len, input.Length - len); // and deleting everything beyond first delimiter (including it)
for (var i = len + 1; i < input.Length - 1; i++) // for the number of elements in the sequence B
{
for (var j = 0; j < result.Count; j++) // going through all elmnts in sequence A
{
if (j % input[i] == 0) // if index is divisible by B[i]
{
values.Add(result[j]); // adding associated value to List<int> values
}
}
foreach (var value in values) // after all elements in sequence A have been looked upon, now deleting those who apply to criteria
{
result.Remove(value);
}
}
But the problem is that I'm only passing 5/11 tests cases. The 25% is 'Wrong result' and the rest 25% - 'Timed out'. I understand that my code is probably very badly written, but I really can't get to understand how to improve it.
So, if someone more experienced could explain (clarify) next points to me it would be very cool:
1. Am I doing parsing from the console input right? I feel like it could be done in a more elegant/efficient way.
2. Is my logic of getting value which apply to criteria and then storing them for later deleting is efficient in terms of performance? Or is there any other way to do it?
3. Why is this code not passing all test-cases or how would you change it in order to pass all of them?
I'm writing the answer once again, since I have misunderstood the problem completely. So undoubtly the problem in your code is a removal of elements. Let's try to avoid that. Let's try to make a new array C, where you can store all the correct numbers that should be left in the A array after each removal. So if index id is not divisible by B[i], you should add A[id] to the array C. Then, after checking all the indices with the B[i] value, you should replace the array A with the array C and do the same for B[i + 1]. Repeat until you reach the end of the array B.
The algorithm:
1. For each value in B:
2. For each id from 1 to length(A):
3. If id % value != 0, add A[id] to C
4. A = C
5. Return A.
EDIT: Be sure to make a new array C for each iteration of the 1. loop (or clear C after replacing A with it)

C# Printing a 2D Array in Matrix Format Using a Foreach Loop

I am trying to create an array that will print out times tables. The first column is the 1 times table, the second is the 2 times table and so on. The user is asked for an input that will determine the number of rows and columns.
I want to print the array in matrix format using a foreach loop. It works fine when I use a for loop but I would like to know how to achieve the same output using a foreach loop.
Shown is the code:
int rows;
int columns;
Console.WriteLine("Enter the number of rows");
rows = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Enter the number of columns");
columns = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
int[,] multiDim = new int[rows, columns];
for (int p = 0; p < multiDim.GetLength(0); p++)
{
for (int k = 0; k < multiDim.GetLength(1); k++)
{
multiDim[p, k] = (p + 1) * (k + 1);
}
Console.WriteLine();
Console.ReadLine();
}
foreach (int i in multiDim)
{
Console.Write(i + " ");
if (i == multiDim.GetLength(1))
{
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
When I enter a value for rows that is above 2 the program does does not print the array in a proper array format. For example when I have 3 rows and 5 columns the output is:
1 2 3 4 5
2 4 6 8 10
3 6 9 12 15
I have read similar questions bu they do not seem to help. All help is appreciated.Thanks in advance.
Your code is looping over the values of the array, rather than the indexes. This means that it just happens to work initially since your values line up well.
I would suggest switching to using Jagged Arrays instead of Multidimensional arrays. This way you can do foreach (row in multiDim), then foreach (cell in row)
If you still need to use a multidimensional array, then you need some form of counter which keeps track of the position of the array you are in. This is why a regular for loop is better to use for this scenario rather than a foreach loop.

learning C#, need help understanding this code

I am learning C# and I came to this "for" function and something really bothers me about it:
int[] arrayNumbers = new int[numberAmmount];
// take "numberAmmount" as 5 so numberAmmount = 5;
for (int i = 0; i < numberAmmount; i++)
{
Console.Write("{0} Number: ", i + 1);
numberAmmount[i] = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
}
Isn't "i++" in for function the same i as in the Console.Write "i + 1"
Shouldn't i after the first cycle be 2?
and after the second cycle be 4 because of the i + 1 in console.write???
Basically I am trying to get in a number from the user which will be the amount of numberAmmount and by this for function i give every numberAmmount[x] a value and then have my program decide the highest and the lowest number but I don't understand why the i + 1 doesn't add an extra 1
edit: got it thanks
The syntax i + 1 does not have an assignment operator. That code is printing the value of i plus a constant. So when your loop is looping from 0...n Console.write is printing the counting value of each loop 1...n+1.

How to display all members of a given subsequence on the console?

I'm trying to understand why I can't print only the members of a subsequence of an array, that is equal to an integer from the input. The array is also read from the console. When i run the program only the first of these members does come up, but with him also a seemingly random number of zeros, while the rest of the subsequence is omitted. If there's a better way than to use a second array, I'll be grateful if you share it. Okay, to specify- I want to know how to print all the members of the aforementioned subsequence, can you please give me a useful advice or sample? Here's the input, output and code:
4 4 56 57 58
8
4 0 0 0 0
instead of 4 4
int v = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
int[] valueHolder = new int[arr1.Length];
int currentSum = 0;
for (int endIndex = 0; endIndex <= arr1.Length -1; endIndex++)
{
currentSum = 0;
for (int currentSumIndex = endIndex; currentSumIndex >= 0; currentSumIndex--)
{
currentSum += arr1[currentSumIndex];
if (currentSum == v)
{
valueHolder[currentSumIndex] = arr1[currentSumIndex];
}
if (currentSum == v)
{
for (int i = 0; i <= valueHolder.Length - 1; i++)
{
Console.Write(valueHolder[i] + " ");
}
}
}
I think you would be best served by putting a break point on the line of the first for loop then stepping through your code. If you take a pad of paper and write each of the variables states as you go through it then it will be pretty obvious what's going on.
However, just to help you out.
In the first pass of the outer loop (endIndex = 0), the inner loop does NOT execute. currentSumIndex = endIndex which equals zero, which does not pass the currentSumIndex >= 0 test. Therefore the first 4 is skipped.
In the second pass, the number 4 is emitted because currentSum equals 4. However, the values of 0 are also emitted because you are walking the entire valueHolder array and spitting all of the empty values out.
From the third pass forward, currentSum will never equal the number you typed in:
The first pass of the inner loop sets currentSum to 56, which does not equal v. The second pass of the inner loops sets it to 56+4 ( currentSum += arr1[currentSumIndex] ) which is 60. Therefore, nothing will ever be emitted again as currentSum will always be the sum of all numbers from the current array position going backward to the beginning array position and therefore will always be greater than v
You don't need a second array. You just need to pay attention to what your code is doing. Side note: I have absolutely no idea why you have that inner loop or even what the 8 is supposed to represent in your example entry above.
If I was writing this, I'd change it to (assuming you can't use LINQ):
int v = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
for (int i= 0; i <= arr1.Length -1; i++)
{
if (arr1[i] == v) {
Console.Write(arr1[i].ToString() + " ");
}
}
Console.WriteLine();
