Character choosing, C# console program

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I made a class named Wizard with some basic stuff like name and spell slots and experience and I have this

C#

Wizard wizard01 = new Wizard();

And I want the user to choose between wizard01 and wizard02 by turning them into numbers.

So if the user wants wizard01 he enters 1 but after that I want the data for wizard01 to be used like the name of the wizard01.

What I have tried:

I didn't try anything. I can't figure it out.

Solution 1

If you put all your instances of the Wizard class in an array, you can pick one by indexing that array; that would result in translating an integer number (zero-based) into one of a range of pre-instantiated wizards, like so:

C#

Wizard[] wizards=new Wizard[10];
wizards[0]=new Wizard(...);
...
wizards[9]=new Wizard(...);

// and then

int myWizIndex=4;
Wizard myWizard=wizards[myWizIndex];
...

FYI: if you don't know the number of wizards you're going to have (you might create them dynamically) and/or if their integer indexes aren't necessarily a continuous and zero-based range, you could also use a Dictionary<int,Wizard> (that is a more advanced topic!).

Nevermind I Found A Simple Way

String wizChoose = Console.ReadLine( );
If (wizChoose = "wizard01")
{
Console.WriteLine(" You Chose " + wizChoose);
}
Else if(wizChoose = "wizard02")
{
Console.WriteLine(" You Chose " + wizChoose);
}
Else
{
Console.WriteLine(" This Is Not A Valid Character");
}
