as name, number, and address are strings, they wouldn't need to get stored multiple times; all you need to duplicate is pointers/references to them. And with say 250 chars per telephone, you would need less than 10 MB of memory anyway.

Thank you for the response but this not what I'm trying to ask. So far, I've made a class called telephone with three member variables of String type, those are names, address and telephone number. Then I made array of telephone class of size 10,000. Now this array has randomly distributed telephone entries but I need arrange sorted order according to each three variable, i.e. telephone, name and address so that I could perform binary search.
Let say user enter telephone number then my program will perform binary search on list sorted according to telephone numbers.
If user enter name then my program will perform search on the list which is started according to name and similarly it will do same procedure for address. So basically you need three list, but can you think of any other method of doing this?
Thank you

what I said is this, using your terminology: you make 10,000 Telephone instances, and store each of them in three different arrays, then sort each of these arrays. That is still only 10,0000 Telephones, not 30,000.
as for sorting stuff, there are smarter ways to represent data. Either come up with something yourself, or make use of existing ones, see e.g. the .NET collections.
Finally, as this is homework, you're supposed to do the work yourself.

How about three of Dictionary<string,Telephone> ?
Or a spell check tree?
Or this thing[^], whatever it is.

Ok, its a homework of data structure course, so u can't expect us to use pre-written classes of .NET. We have to write complete program on our own  . But the suggestions you gave are really good, I'll definitely look into them.
Thank you

This is totally unreadable; put your code between <pre></pre> tags, and mark the lines that have the problem.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

That is unformatted and unreadable. I think I saw some CreateGraphics which is probably very wrong. Please edit your question to include PRE tags, then read this[^].

My list collection has several items.
I would like to add/update this collection list with the value I have while looping through the collection using foreach...
How can I check if the value already exists (update it) and if it does not exist, then add it?
Do I have to have another collection or array to hold the unique values while looping through the collection list?
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
You can use a HashSet<T> to hold unique values, but adding elements to any collection while looping through it is not a good practice. Tell us a little more about what you want to do, and maybe we can give you a better approach.
|
|
|
|
|
Basically my existing list is as follows:
Basically my existing list is as follows:
private List<monitor> results = new List<monitor>(); //hold the messages...
There are fields in monitor class i.e. Field1, Field2, Field3, ...
private void UpdateList(string strField1Value)
{
//loop through results collection
//chek if Field1 in results is as same as strField1value
//if strNewvalue is already present in results collection, then only update that row with the new fields
//else add the new row to the results collection...
}
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, then use a Dictionary<TKey, TValue> instead of a List or HashSet. Use the field1 as the key of that dictionary, and the monitor objects as values. This way you will not need to check anything:
Dictionary<string, monitor> results = new Dictionary<string, monitor>();
void UpdateList(monitor mon)
{
results[mon.Field1] = mon;
}
As it is that simple, you can even delete the UpdateList method and just modify the Dicionary as required. No loop needed for this.
|
|
|
|
|
Dictionary<string, monitor> results = new Dictionary<string, monitor>();
It says, Tkey, Tvalue is required
|
|
|
|

Yes, sorry, I made a little mistake. I've fixted it, read the post again.
|
|
|
|

Yes it needed a little fix.
I'd appreciate you don't do stealth fixes though, as they may make a thread incomprehensible.

Yes, you're right. I am quite an absentminded person  . I will try to quote my fixes in the future. Thanks for the advise.

A warning: if the key value (strField1Value) of some object changes after it has been added to the dictionary, then the dictionary is no longer valid, i.e. it needs updating (removing and re-inserting the object).

I might do it this way:
public class MyCollection : List<MyItem>
{
public bool AddUnique(MyItem newItem)
{
bool found = false;
if (!this.Contains(newItem))
{
foreach (MyItem item in this)
{
if (item.MyProperty == newItem.MyProperty)
{
found = true;
break;
}
}
}
else
{
found = true;
}
if (!found)
{
this.Add(newItem);
}
return found;
}
}

I think I asked the same question like a week ago or so and you offered me this solution so basically him and I requeired the same thing. if you didnt responce to him I would have responded. good call tho.

Sorry John, but this isn't a great solution if the size of the data gets too large. Basically, every time you add a record you increase the amount of time it takes to search for a new item just to see if it can be added. I recently had to rework some code that somebody had put together like this to find and add files into a list of monitored files. As you can imagine, it works fine when there are only a few items in the list, but the algorithm completely falls apart when you start getting to the few tens of thousands.
A simpler way is to use a Dictionary. As in:
private Dictionary<string, MyItem> _items = new Dictionary<string, MyItem>();
public void Add(MyItem value)
{
if (!_items.ContainsKey(value.MyProperty))
{
_items.Add(value.MyProperty, value);
}
}Alternatively if the OP is using .NET 3.5+, a HashSet provides a good choice because it removes the duplication where the dictionary contains MyProperty both in the value, and in the key.

I merely provided a solution. He didn't specify how big the collection would get, but until said collection gets to an unwieldy size, my answer is fine, especisally given his apparent lack of programming ability is concerned. Besides that, "duplicate" can mean any number of things, and my solution covers the possibilites.
He could use a HashSet with some extension methods, but honestly, that's beyond his level of skill. I was merely considering the audience, that's all.

hi m doing work with AT commands with c# could not find any AT command for voice msg. there are AT commands for SMS and voice call also but i could not find any command for voice msg. is it possible to snd or receive voice msg through AT commands???

|

What exactly do you try? ATDT...... (...... is the desired number) establishes a connection, if we both are talking about old Hayes compatible modems.
maybe this link is enlightening

I cannot remember: What did I before google?
