This repo contains my assignments for my C# programming class. Below are the assignment prompts.

Prompts:

Assignment String Input Output Summary: Grabbing a string from the user, printing a string, and the system time. Print your name. Print the current date and time (as it is at run time.) Ask the user for their name. Print "Hello {username}, I'm {yourname}. It is nice to meet you." Example execution: Glenn Cuevas 9/1/2010 2:33 PM What is your name? Jimmy Hello Jimmy, I'm Glenn. It is nice to meet you.

Assignment Loops and Randoms Summary: Decisions and iteration, random numbers. Create a coin flipping game. Ask the user if they want to play the game. If they respond postively, then ask them to guess heads or tails. If they correctly guess the coin flip indicate that they won the game and then ask them if they want to play again. The game will continue until the user responds that they do not wish to continue playing. Keep track of each time the player guesses correctly or incorrectly and display their wins and losses. Also note that the user input is not case sensitive. Example Execution: Wins: 0 Loses: 0 Do you want to play? y Guess H for heads, T for tails: t The coin landed heads, you lose. Wins: 0 Loses: 1 Do you want to play? y Guess H for heads, T for tails: T The coin landed tails, you win. Wins: 1 Loses: 1 Do you want to play? n Goodbye.

Assignment Variables Summary: Arithmatic, variables and arrays. Ask the user for 10 numbers (which might be floating point.) Find the average value, the median value and the sum. Print the numbers entered back to the user, followed by the average, median and sum. The average is the sum divided by the count of the numbers, the median is the value that occurs in the middle, since we have 10 numbers, that will be the 5th number. Example Execution: Enter number 1: 22.1 Enter number 2: 4 Enter number 3: 41 Enter number 4: 14 Enter number 5: 24.2 Enter number 6: 19 Enter number 7: 25 Enter number 8: 46 Enter number 9: 79 Enter number 10: 9 You entered 22.1, 4, 41, 14, 24.2, 19, 25, 46, 79, 9. The average is 28.33. The median is 22.1. The sum is 283.3.

Assignment Loops Summary: Loops for factorials.

Write a program that finds the factorial for a given sequence of integers. Ask the user for the starting value, then ask the user for the ending value.

Starting at the first number entered, display the factorial calculation and the result of the calculation on a line. Do this for each value from the first number to the last number entered. The factorial of a number n is = n (n-1) (n-2) (n-3) ... 1. Where the factorial of 0 is equal to 1. IE 5! = 54321 = 120

Sample Execution:

Welcome to the factorial calculator Enter the lower bound: 4 Enter the upper bound: 7

Calculating... 4! = 4 3 2 1 = 24 5! = 5 4 3 2 1 = 120 6! = 6 5

• 4 3 2 1 = 720 7! = 7 6 5 4 3 2 * 1 = 5040

Goodbye.

Assignment Methods Summary: Methods, overloading, optional parameters. Write a program that will analyze text. Write a function that will take a string parameter with "Hello" as the default value for the optional parameter, this function will count the number of words in the string. Assume that a word is identified by a single space character. The return is the count of words. Overload the above function by allowing it to take an array of strings. (There must be two seperate functions.) Write a function that will count the number of vowels in a string. The return is the count of vowels, case-insensitive. Create a menu system similar to the sample output. When at the bottom of each menu level, continue to perform the same operation until the user inputs the escape sequence. i.e. -1 Example run: Main Menu Choose from the following: 1. Word counting. 2. Vowel counting. 3. Exit Enter your selection: 1

Word Counter Menu Choose from the following: 1. Count the words in one sentence. 2. Count the words in a paragraph. 3. Parent menu Enter your selection: 1 Enter a sentence (q to quit): Hello world, how are you today? There are 6 words in that sentence. Enter a sentence (q to quit): I'm bored today. There are 3 words in that sentence. Enter a sentence (q to quit): q Word Counter Menu Choose from the following: 1. Count the words in one sentence. 2. Count the words in a paragraph. 3. Parent menu Enter your selection: 2 Enter several sentences, when done entering sentences, use q by itself on the last line. Hello, how are you? I'm fine, and you? Just fine, just fine. q There are 12 words in that text. Enter several sentences, when done entering sentences, use q by itself on the last line. q Word Counter Menu Choose from the following: 1. Count the words in one sentence. 2. Count the words in a paragraph. 3. Parent menu Enter your selection: 3 Main Menu Choose from the following: 1. Word counting. 2. Vowel counting. 3. Exit Enter your selection: 2 Vowel Counting Menu Choose from the following: 1. Count vowels. 2. Parent menu. Enter your selection: 1 Please enter some text to count the vowels (q to quit). Hello Abe, what are you up to today? There are 13 vowels. Please enter some text to count the vowels (q to quit). q Vowel Counting Menu Choose from the following: 1. Count vowels. 2. Parent menu. Enter your selection: 2 Main Menu Choose from the following: 1. Word counting. 2. Vowel counting. 3. Exit Enter your selection: 3 Goodbye.

Assignment Forms Summary: Forms

Create a calculator, using calc, as available in windows, as the model. The calculator needs to support the following mathmatical operations. Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Modulo (Remainder) Square Root

The interface needs to also support Clear (C) and Clear Entry (CE) buttons, the clear button restores the text back to zero. The clear entry will clear the current entry and retain the previous calculated value.

The text box should be formatted with the thousands comma separator, ie: 123,456,789.2

The calculation scenarios supported are entering a sequnce of numbers (through the buttons, or typing), then choosing an operator, then another sequence of numbers, followed by the equal sign, or another operator, when this occurs, the result of the previous operation is evaluated. I.E. the user enters 1, hits the +, then 2, then +, the text would be updated to 3, then 3, then *, where it will be come 6, then they enter 5 and hit equals, resulting in 30.

Assignment Forms and Classes Attached Files: User Registration Screen Shot.gif (10.289 KB) Summary: Forms and Classes, Enumerations

Create a user registration system.

It will need to contain the fields as shown in the screen shot. The password and confirm password fields need to be matched against each other, both when the page is submitted and also when the confirm password field has lost focus, also, when the password field has lost focus. If the form is not valid then the page will not be processed as described below.

The major is a combo box (DropDownList style) that will contain a list of majors (at least 5) of your choosing. Based upon the major selected you'll populate the items in the specialty drop down list below the major, for the user to select from those items.

Once the form is succesfully submitted we'll use the values in the form to create a user object.

The user object will be composed of private data members plus properties, all the fields will be strings, with the exception of the major, which will be an enumeration.

The clear button will reset the form to its initial empty state. The load last button will repopulate the form with the last user object that was created, if no user object has been created, show a MessageBox with an error message indicating there is no data to load.

Dice Rolling Attached Files: Dice Rolling.PNG (47.006 KB) Summary: Dice Rolling, Forms, Menus, AI

This is a two player game, each player takes turns rolling a single six sided die. If the roll is a 1, the players turn is over and the turn passes. If the roll is 2 - 6, the player addes the value of the die to the turn total. After adding the die to the turn total, the player can then choose to roll again, or take the turn total and add it to their game score. If they roll again, repeat the check above, ending the turn on a 1 (no scoring), or adding the points otherwise, if they take the points, play passes to the next player.

A rough mock-up is attached and shows about what the game would look like.

The game needs to support a menu with the following options. Exit - Closes the form. New Game - Resets the game to the beginning.

A players menu with Set player 1 name, set player 2 name, and set number of players. The number of players can be 1 or 2.

In a two player game, to human players will play against each other. In a one player game, the AI will play for the second player, the behavior of the AI is to roll until their turn ends on a 1, or their turn total is 20 or more.

When the AI is playing, the game needs to pause for a couple of seconds between roles so that the human player can see what is happening.

The game ends at 100, when the game ends, show a message box that indicates the player that won.

Assignment Tic Tac Toe Summary: Tic Tac Toe - Form

Create a two player tic tac toe game. The game requires a menu allowing for the game to: exit for the game to be reset to change which player goes first which player is X or O setting of the player's names.

When the game is over, show a message box indicating the winner. Following that, show a prompt box asking if they want to play again, if they play again use the following to determine who goes first.

When a player wins, they get to go first again on the second game by default. If the first player loses, the second player goes first on the next game, if the game is a draw, then switch who went first on the second game.

Blackjack Summary: Blackjack

Create a black jack application that is designed to help the player learn the odds of playing the game.

The game will allow the user to specify how many decks of cards will be used. The game needs to support all the actions that a game of black jack allows for, such as doubling down, splitting, hitting, standing.

The basic idea for the player is to get as close to 21 points as possible without exceeding 21 points, and have a higher number of points than the dealer. The cards are A 2 through 10, Jack, Queen and King. 2 - 10 are worth 2 - 10 points respectively, Jack, Queen and King are worth 10 points. Ace can be used as either 1 or 11 points.

A black jack is having two cards, one of which is an Ace, the other a 10 point value card. A black jack is an automatic win for the player, unless the dealer also has a black jack. In this scenario, the player wins 1.5 times their bet.

Hitting causes the player/dealer to get another card. Standing indicates the player/dealer will not take any more cards this hand. Splitting is the action of creating two hands from a single hand when the first two cars of the hand are the same face value, ie two eights, or two jacks, but not a ten and a queen. Doubling down is the act of doubling the player's bet after they have received their first two cards, in this scenario, the player only gets to hit one time, allowing them 3 total cards.

The player loses when their hand's point value exceeds 21, they also lose if after they finish taking cards, the dealer has more points than the player, not to exceed 21. If both the dealer and player have the same number of points, the hand is a draw. When the dealer is taking cards, they hit until they have 17 or points. The dealer will hit on a soft 17, where they are using an Ace as 11 points.

For showing the odds, based upon the current point value of the player's hand, what the chances are of the player busting if they draw a card. For example, if the player has a 7 and an 8, and the dealer is showing a 10, then any card with a value larger than 7 will cause the player to lose. We'll assume the deck is full, with the exception of the shown cards, so normally there are 16 cards at 10 points, 4 each at 9, 8, and 7. For a total of 28 cards and 52 cards in the deck, that would give the player a 53.8% chance of busting, with a 7, 8 and 10 gone, that changes it to 25/49, down to a 51.0% chance of busting.

Optional: Show the odds of the dealer busting. Use a counting system to track cards used and how that changes the odds.

Tic Tac Toe w/ AI Summary: AI

Add an AI to the tic tac toe game, which brings in the ability to play with one human player. The AI will support several difficulty levels.

Each level builds on top of the previous levels, thus, if the added behavior does not apply, then they would choose randomly. Level 1 - AI will randomly choose their next move. Level 2 - AI will block the player if their next move would win the game. Level 3 - AI will recognize a winning move and will try to win the game. Level 4 - AI places higher value on corner and center spots, only taking sides to win/block. Level 5 - AI is impossible to beat.

When developing the AI, it is good to recognize that there are many mirror cases, for example, choosing any of the 4 corner spots for the first move are identical. When this is the case, to make the games appear to be different, it is good to randomize which of these moves gets used in subsequent games.
