I'm expecting it to print out a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
and the same thing but also in reverse order, and in random order.
You don't need any loops.
You already have the sorting and reverse sorting nailed, just get rid of the loops!
The random bit can be written as a LINQ query (a secret loop!)
How about this?
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
char[] alphabet;
alphabet = new char[] { 'q', 'w', 'e', 'r', 't', 'y', 'u', 'i', 'o', 'p', 'a', 's', 'd', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'z', 'x', 'c', 'v', 'b', 'n', 'm' };
// making the keyboard layout alphabetical and print horizontally
Array.Sort(alphabet);
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(' ', alphabet));
// making the alphabet print out reverse alphabetical and horizontally
Array.Reverse(alphabet);
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(' ', alphabet));
// making the whole alphabet print out randomly
Random randAlphabet = new Random();
alphabet = alphabet.OrderBy(x => randAlphabet.Next()).ToArray();
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(' ', alphabet));
}
}
If I have input a string is it possible to check that the first letter does start with an input from a list of strings:
var dir = "FOLDERNAME";
var list = new List<string>() { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "s",
"t", "u", "v", "w", "z", "y", "z",
"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"};
if (!dir.ToLower().!StartsWith :MagicLinq: list) { Do Stuff; }
Or do I have to go the regex route?
One approach to consider:
var lower = new string(dir?.FirstOrDefault() ?? new char(), 1);
if (list.Contains(lower) {
The first line gets the first character from the string, and handles empty and null strings (by getting the null char), and then loads that char into a string.
You could simplify that if the List<string> was a List<char or HashSet<char> instead. Then you could remove the new string part.
You can check if the first letter is in the list:
if (list.Contains(""+dir[0])){}
If this check will be done many times using a HashSet<> would be more performant than a linear search on a List<>. Even if performance is not a concern a HashSet<> might better represent the data and how its used since each element is unique and ordering doesn't matter.
Here I'm using a HashSet<> of chars...
var dir = "FOLDERNAME";
var restrictedChars = new HashSet<char>(
new[] {
'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G',
'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'Z', 'Y', 'Z',
'1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9'
}
);
if (!restrictedChars.Contains(dir[0]))
{
// Do stuff...
}
Note that I changed the restricted characters from lowercase to uppercase since char.ToUpper()/char.ToUpperInvariant() are the recommended way to normalize case for case-insensitive comparisons. You could then perform the check in a case-insensitive manner like this...
if (!restrictedChars.Contains(char.ToUpperInvariant(dir[0])))
{
// Do stuff...
}
Alternatively, you could use a HashSet<> of strings and pass in a case-insensitive StringComparer instance...
var dir = "FOLDERNAME";
var restrictedChars = new HashSet<string>(
new[] {
"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g",
"s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "z", "y", "z",
"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"
},
StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase
);
// Get a string from Substring() instead of dir[0].ToString()
if (!restrictedChars.Contains(dir.Substring(0, 1)))
{
// Do stuff...
}
With this approach the case of the restricted character strings fed into the HashSet<> doesn't matter.
This is how i'd do it
String dir = "FOLDERNAME";
var MyList = new List<string>() { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "s",
"t", "u", "v", "w", "z", "y", "z",
"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"};
Console.WriteLine((MyList.IndexOf(dir.Substring(0, 1).ToLower()) != -1) ? "True" : "False");
Console.ReadLine();

I built an app of Numerology based on Name.
I'm beginner using C#.net and I have trouble of functions when I input name.
It's only 1 character that the program was detected.
For Example : Jane is not contained in Arrays but only J is contained in Arrays.
I really appreciate if someone gives another simple algorithms.
string[] Array0 = { " " };
string[] Array1 = { "A", "J", "S" };
string[] Array2 = { "B", "K", "T" };
string[] Array3 = { "C", "L", "U" };
string[] Array4 = { "D", "M", "V" };
string[] Array5 = { "E", "N", "W" };
string[] Array6 = { "F", "O", "X" };
string[] Array7 = { "G", "P", "Y" };
string[] Array8 = { "H", "Q", "Z" };
string[] Array9 = { "I", "R" };
string tempName = Name.ToUpper();
foreach (string x in Array1) {
if (x.Contains(tempName))
{
Response.Write("Your name is contained in Array");
}
else {
Response.Write("Your name is Not Contained in Array");
}
}
Try this:
List<string[]> _array = new List<string[]>() { new string[] {"A", "J", "S"}, new string[] { "B", "K", "T" },new string [] {"C", "L", "U"},
new string[] {"D", "M", "V"}, new string[] { "E", "N", "W" }, new string[] { "F", "O", "X" },
new string[] { "G", "P", "Y" },new string[] { "H", "Q", "Z" }, new string[] { "I", "R" }};
bool _result = _array.Select(a => a.Any(s => Name.ToUpper().Contains(s))).FirstOrDefault();
if(_result)
Response.Write("Your name is contained in Array");
else
Response.Write("Your name is Not Contained in Array");
This code will check for any occurance of Name in array list.
The Peptide Encoding Problem consists on Finding substrings of a genome encoding a given amino acid sequence.
The genetic code describes the translation of an RNA 3-mer (codon) into one of 20 different amino acids. The first three circles, moving from the inside out, represent the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd nucleotides of a given codon. The 4th, 5th, and 6th circles define the translated amino acid in three ways: the amino acid’s full name, its 3-letter abbreviation, and its single-letter abbreviation. Three of the 64 total RNA codons are stop codons, which halt translation and implicitly add a 21st stop symbol to the amino acid alphabet.
The problem consists on having
Input: A DNA string Text and an amino acid string Peptide.
and
Output: All substrings of Text encoding Peptide (if any such substrings exist).
Sample Input:
ATGGCCATGGCCCCCAGAACTGAGATCAATAGTACCCGTATTAACGGGTGA
MA
Sample Output:
ATGGCC
GGCCAT
ATGGCC
the result is gotten by reading triplets so, ATGGCC encodes MA, GGCCAT inverse would be CCGGTA written backwards so it is in fact ATGGCC (CCGGTA.reverse)
the complement of genetic code is C-G, G-C, T-A and A-T
So to solve this problem I first use already defined arrays

I was thinking on problem and It seems the problem is I am not looping all string each time...
It looks like the problem is two-fold. Your outer for loop doesn't go far enough to catch the very end of the dna string. Secondly, it appears that reversing individual codons doesn't work and that you have to take the entire (givenPeptideLength * 3) character string before getting the complement. The following changes output the strings you put in your example so I'm hopeful that it does what you want. It has the benefit of being much more concise as well.

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to call the Parallel.ForEach with a 2D array of strings:
string[,] board = new string[,]{
{"A", "B", "C", "D", "E" },
{"F", "G", "H", "I", "J"},
{"K", "L", "M", "N", "O"},
{"0", "1", "2", "3", "4"}};
Parallel.ForEach(board, row =>
{
for (int i = 0; i < row.Length; ++i)
{
// find all valid sequences
}
});
If I don't specify the type explicitly I get the following error:
The type arguments for method
'System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForEach(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable,
System.Action)' cannot be
inferred from the usage. Try
specifying the type arguments
explicitly.
What's the proper way to specify the type arguments explicitly?
The problem for you is that 2-dimensional arrays do not implement IEnumerable<one-dimensional-array>. (It does implement IEnumerable, but it's an IEnumerable of strings that "flattens" the array.) You can do two things:
Change the string[,] to a jagged array-of-arrays, string[][].
Implement your own extension method that iterates over a two-dimensional array and turns it into an IEnumerable<one-dimensional-array>.
You should still be able to make this work with a multi-dimensional array, just using Parallel.For instead of Parallel.ForEach:
string[,] board = new string[,] {
{"A", "B", "C", "D", "E" },
{"F", "G", "H", "I", "J"},
{"K", "L", "M", "N", "O"},
{"0", "1", "2", "3", "4"}
};
int height = board.GetLength(0);
int width = board.GetLength(1);
Parallel.For(0, height, y =>
{
for (int x = 0; x < width; ++x)
{
string value = board[y, x];
// do whatever you need to do here
}
}
);
