previous post is got too long, isn't it? (my previous question again)
-
do you know what the question is infact? the question is to make the following methods without using prepared methods in String Class and operators += and +:
public String delete (String st, int startIndex, int len); //delete part of a string and return the result
public String copy (String st, int startIndex, int len); //copy a subString from startIndex till len and return the result
public String insert (String st1, String st2, int len); //insert a string to an other
public String concat (String st1, String st2); //concat two strings
public int pos (String st1, String st2, int len); //return the position of specified string in an other specified string
public int countOf (String st1, String st2, int len); //return number of repetitions of an string in an other string
public String intToStr(int value); //make an integer to string
public int strToInt (String value); //make a string to an integer
public String reverse (String value); //return the reversed
how can i answer to these question with considering the condition? please help me and as you guessed it's a school homework. thank you

dont use the String class...use the string type...thats what i'd do, i would also call the professor a moron probably in class...which explains my excellent grades in college. and like everyone mentioned before, if you get stuck at some specific place ask here, we will not do you homework for you. most of us didnt have these kind of resources when we took those classes, or didnt use them for anything other than very spcific questions if we did.

OK - so you have to assume that my answer was right. You CAN use foreach, and you can use []. If you can't, then the question does not say that, AND, without those, it plain cannot be done.

How do you thing the 'String class' and the 'string type' differ ? Whatever you think, you're mistaken.

I assumed it was a trick question, and that they couldnt use the String class, but using string instead would work, since they work the same, his assignment would be easy. and since String is capitalized i assume its a class, and since string isnt and VS changes it color jus tlike other base types(int, double, char, etc..), i call it a type, even though it is a class just to tell them apart. bad behavior, but old habits are hard to break. i realize they arent different aside from that. but if it wasnt a trick question and he cant use a foreach, or indexes, or any member function he's pretty hosed..tho what about Convert? does it have a method to take strings to char[]'s i cant remember.

thanks for your answer but 'foreach' and indexes are not allowed to use, too. but i think when our teacher askes such questions, there should be a solution.

He could just use [] to access the chars and build whatever he likes. String and string are the same thing. They are not two objects that look the same, they are the same object.

you keep saying that, but: 1 - the question does NOT say that 2 - that means there is no solution. Except maybe prayer or voodoo magic.

Hmm. All it takes is StringBuilder class, with one of its constructors (string), and ToString(). :)

Hmmm - I didn't think of that. I guess I was looking for educational value, I assumed he wanted them to learn about how to use array indexes. Plus, he's insisting he can't use stuff that the question doesn't say. What a *dumb* thing for a teacher to assign, if the answer is to use a stringbuilder. But, wait, how would they get substrings, etc ? I mean, they would then need to call methods on the string class, via the string returned from ToString, right ? I reviewed the assignment, and while there's no substring, there is a reverse, and other methods such as finding the index of a string in another, that make me think that a stringbuilder is definately not the answer being sought, and that addressing chars in a string by index, is.

No string operations are required at all once the raw data is available, and that is what
new StringBuilder(string)does. So basically it is used as a replacement for the index operator, allowing an almost native implementation of string functions. I do agree it isn't a very smart assignment. :)Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles]

They don't work the same. The ARE the same!

OK - I'm interested. Type in the EXACT text of the assignment so we can all marvel at this. You've got a site full of professional developers here all telling you that this can't be done so at least one of the following conditions applies: a) your understanding is wrong b) this is the wrong forum and you are meant to be using a language like C c) you have missed out a vital step or two d) your professor is a complete thundering idiot and the assignment is wrong e) you are way off beam with the foreach/indexer idea Let's have a look so we can make our own mind up.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

You're saying there's a tostring on StringBuilder that takes indexes for substrings ? That DOES make sense of not being allowed to use +, you don't need to. How odd...

I think Luc found the answer. I can't imagine what the goal of this assignment was, in terms of learning something, but apparently, you can pass a string into a stringbuilder and use the stringbuilder to pull out substrings, and get the string length. You can use another stringbuilder to build a new string. So, ultimately, the only thing I can think of, is that the professor hoped to create some research skills, or something.

I did not intend to say that, but yes it does exist. Anyway one does not need it, access to the raw data plus some character moving is all it takes. Import with the SB constructor, export with a simple SB.ToString. :)

He's not allowed to use foreach, I assume that means when he says he's not allowed to use [], he means at all, not just on the string class. I bow to you, that just didn't occur to me, or anyone else. I wonder if the goal is to fail anyone who gets the answer, b/c they must have asked on the web to get it ?

Maybe, but the teacher should be a bit more clear and should give the students a hint, such as "you may want to look at the stringbuilder class" :rolleyes:
