C#, pronounced C Sharp, is a relatively new programming language from
Microsoft that was designed to take full advantage of the new .Net
Framework.
The xmas tree project was a good idea. It really makes you think. I think
this project could have been a little more fun for me if I had a little
more time but my schedule just won't allow it. I don't see myself coming
back to often to update this code but if others want to sent me some other
samples I may post them later. So here it goes....
The purpose of this project as I understood it was to write a console
program using C#. The goal is to draw a Christmas tree on the screen by
making use of arrays and nested for loops. Of course, the one time I missed
class all year and that was the day the instructor was discussing this
new project. Luckily a fellow student took the time to go over it with
me and this is what I came up with. Not sure if it is exactly correct
but I'm sure it is close.
using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Text;
namespace
ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//create
the main array
int[]
myArray = new int[]
{ 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 };
//The outside
foreach loop to loop throught the array
foreach
(int intLoop in
myArray)
{
//creates
the spaces, takes the array number minus 1 then divide by 2
//this
gives you the amount of spaces needed for each level of the tree
for
(int iSpace = 0; iSpace <
((myArray[4]-intLoop)/2); iSpace++)
{
System.Console.Write("
");
}
//middle
loop writes the asterisks "*" the full amount of current array[]
for
(int i = 0;i < intLoop; i++)
{
System.Console.Write("*");
}
//creates
the spaces, takes the array number minus 1 then divide by 2
//this
gives you the amount of spaces needed for each level of the tree
for
(int iSpace = 0; iSpace < ((myArray[4]
- intLoop) / 2); iSpace++)
{
System.Console.Write(" ");
}
//creates
new lines after all 3 loops run
System.Console.WriteLine("");
}
//nest
this loop and do it 3 times
for
(int iBase = 0; iBase < myArray[1]; iBase++)
{
//
now make the base of the tree
for
(int iSpaces = 0; iSpaces < myArray[1];
iSpaces++)
{
System.Console.Write("
");
}
for
(int iPipes = 0; iPipes < myArray[1];
iPipes++)
{
System.Console.Write("|");
}
//
now make the base of the tree
for
(int iSpaces = 0; iSpaces < myArray[1];
iSpaces++)
{
System.Console.Write("
");
}
//creates
new lines after all 3 loops run
System.Console.WriteLine("");
}
}
}
}
