I'm wanting to sort this array by length but how will I do that? I searched the web for a while but couldn't find anything. The code is supposed to sort an array given at random by each strings length in the string array, but I can't get anyway of declaring how I want it to sort.
public class Kata
{
public static string[] SortByLength (string[] array)
{
Array.Sort(array);
return array;
}
}
Well, in order to sort the array in place you should provide rule of sorting:
Array.Sort(array, (x, y) => x.Length.CompareTo(y.Length));
The method can be
public static string[] SortByLength (string[] array) {
//TODO: validate array and its items here; they must be not null
Array.Sort(array, (x, y) => x.Length.CompareTo(y.Length));
return array;
}
Use linq...
public static string[] SortByLength (string[] array) =>
array.OrderBy( x => x?.Length ?? 0 ).ToArray();
Dude, this is how it should work.
Array.Sort(array, StringComparer.InvariantCulture);
