How to create a program to sort people into groups.

[marvolo3]

I have this assignment but I'm not getting any ideas. I have to create a program which sort people into a specified number of groups. I need help.

You may not get any ideas if you dont explain the problem properly. On what basis do you have to sort the people into groups? without this it would be difficult to provide any help.

I would create a Person class that contains properties for each aspect I will need to group by. Then I could use LinQ to group by any property. For more help you will need to provide more information, I'm afraid.

You will get help Marvolo,just explain a bit more. What & how exactly you need it.

[marvolo3]

we have to design a program that will accept a list of names of people and the group them into a number of groups the user chooses.

Does this mean that the groups should each have a certain equal number of people in them, or must they be grouped by name or what ? You need to be more specific.

Ya, the user specifies them and the program does it. the user will specify the number of groups he wants and the program will accept the list and group them.

the user states how many groups he wants.
