Split the para into single lines using string functions.

Question

See more:

Yesterday i face one program in my interview. They give sentence like this.

They ask to split this para into single lines.

Input is

STR = Welcome to our company, This company is the MNC company , We have many branches all over world.

It is a one paragraph. But i just enter only three lines. Here the comma should be terminated

The output should be
1) Welcome to our company

2) This company is the MNC company

3) We have many branches all over world

they asked to use two dimension array for this and use string functions. But i don't know how to split using string function. I just use for loop for this program(But that is not correct.). They did not accept that. Please any one help me how to do this?

Solution 2

You can try like as below.

C#

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
    string s = "Welcome to our company, This company is the MNC company , We have many branches all over world";
    //
    // Split string on spaces.
    // ... This will separate all the words.
    //
    string[] words = s.Split(',');
    foreach (string word in words)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(word);
    }
    }
}

Output

Welcome to our company

This company is the MNC company

We have many branches all over world

Is it possible in two dimensional array??

Sampath Lokuge 4-Oct-13 5:55am

Here is a good example of 2D string Array.Check that.

Solution 3

The actual "breaking the string up" bit is simple: String.Split will do that.
The complexity is adding a numbered prefix to each line, and outputting them without a loop - which is not really possible, because even Linq methods (which could do it quite handily) contain a loop - it's just a hidden one.

But, this would have worked:

C#

string s = "Welcome to our company, This company is the MNC company , We have many branches all over world.";
string[] lines = s.Split(',');
string result = string.Join("\n\n", lines.Select((l, index) => string.Format("{0}) {1}", index + 1, l.Trim())));
Console.WriteLine(result);

Thank you..!! It's working..!! :-) .. Can you explain this??

OriginalGriff 4-Oct-13 5:35am

What is there to explain - it's a pretty simple Linq method!

OriginalGriff 4-Oct-13 5:35am

How you you use a 2D array for this - you only have the one list of lines...what you you put in a 2D array at all?

Vijaydhas 4-Oct-13 5:46am

But that company staff ask me to write the program using 2 dimensional only. That's why i am asking.

OriginalGriff 4-Oct-13 5:54am

That is a silly request, because the only use for a 2D array in this case would be to hold the line number (and presumably the bracket and space) in one element, and the line data in another. And if you are just printing the result out then that is a waste of resources! :laugh:
You could do it though.

Solution 1

C#

string STR = "Welcome to our company, This company is the MNC company , We have many branches all over world" 

string[] n = STR.Split(',');

string first=n[0].ToString();

string second=n[1].ToString();

string third=n[2].ToString();

Here,no need to use ToString() after n[]...

Ranesh M Raj 4-Oct-13 5:12am

I no it,
no need for conversion because string[] n = STR.Split(','); returning string value
