So yeah, current assignment was to make a program that asks the user to input numbers. When they quit, display a histogram of the number of times they entered numbers
Requirements Numbers are 0-10. User can quit any time Make it that the user can enter as many numbers as they want. Display it like If they entered 1,0,0,0,2,2,3,4,4,4,5 0*** 1* 2** 3* 4*** 5*
So i had worked on this, and got a working version of it before finding out i had misread the program. I thought I only needed to have 10 entries, and display that. Got that working. Then i found out it should be unlimited entries basically. We should be using two arrays. One for the numbers 0-10 and one for the counts. Should be in a for loop.
I think that since i got what i thought was what i needed done, my brain is blanking on how to do this.
My assumptions is something like
array[11]{0, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) count[11]{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}
Then ask for user input, check the number, if its a 0, then increase the index 0 value of count by 1. If its a 1, increase the index of count by 1 and up its value by 1. Etc
I dont want to make a bunch of if statements, and I cannot for the life of me think of how i would call the index for a value for displaying. If i want to see what the value of Index+3 (so, how many times 3 was entered) how do i display it.
This is my old code, i do have a class for the things i call to. GetInput and OutputMessage are just methods using the console read and writeline code.
I cannot use dictionaries, or lists. I dont think 2 arrays is required.
Thank you for any help given.
