Comparing array positions , but choose the diferent ones

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

I am making a Who wants to be a millionaire type of game.

So I have a array with the questions and answers, where:

levels[current_level][x][0] - is the question
levels[current_level][x][1-4] - are the questions
levels[current_level][x][5] is the correct answer

I use to compare one of users choices to the right one:

C#

   string key_pressed = Console.ReadLine().ToUpper();
string resp = levels[current_level][x][5]

if(key_pressed.Equals("A"))
{
if (levels[current_level][x][1].Equals(resp))
{//CORRECT}
else
{//INCORRECT}
}

Now I am trying to make the Audience help, and I need the opposite of:

C#

levels[current_level][x][1].Equals(resp)

So the minority of the "audience" vote for the wrong answers.

Thank you

Sorry did not got the point of "Now I am trying to make the Audience help, and I need the opposite of", as you have four choices so you are going to compare user choice against correct answer; before freezing the answer user has gone for audience poll and audience has given a choice which MAY be the user's choice or other option. So you mean to say user is no longer standing with his first answer as audience choice is different, right?

My question is to compare string and show the user the ones that are diferent drom original string.
I need the opposite from
`string.Equals()`

Sorry, I think there is something missing which is not having clear context. If you are looking for opposite of "string.Equals()" then just add a negate symbol before it which is opposite.

Why wouldn't you make this simpler by:

C#

string key_pressed = Console.ReadLine().ToUpper();

switch (key_pressed)
{
 case "A":
 case "B":
 case "C":
 case "D":
 if(levels[current_level][x][5] == key_pressed)
 {//CORRECT
 }
 else
 {//INCORRECT
 }
 break;
 case "1":
 break;
 case "2":
 default:
 break;
}

you won't have to do so many checks

You have a point, but... what are "1" and "2" needed for?
on the other hand... you have a typo after "1": break: --> break;

In a different question he was looking for A-D, 1-4 for answers and 'hints'
