im trying to like change the letter inside the array

TheBoxyBear•11/16/22, 10:31 PM

What kind of cypher do you want to use?

gododoOP•11/16/22, 10:31 PM

like uh

gododoOP•11/16/22, 10:32 PM

a + 2 = c

gododoOP•11/16/22, 10:32 PM

for example

TheBoxyBear•11/16/22, 10:32 PM

foreach is read-only

gododoOP•11/16/22, 10:32 PM

oh so its usless?

TheBoxyBear•11/16/22, 10:32 PM

Useful if you don't need to change the values

TheBoxyBear•11/16/22, 10:33 PM

And just do something with each value that doesn't involve putting something else in the source collection

gododoOP•11/16/22, 10:33 PM

can you explain it rq

TheBoxyBear•11/16/22, 10:34 PM

foreach relies in IEnumerable which is the backbone of all collection types, including read-only types

TheBoxyBear•11/16/22, 10:34 PM

All foreach knows is it received a character from this unknown collection, then another character and another

gododoOP•11/16/22, 10:34 PM

oh ok

TheBoxyBear•11/16/22, 10:35 PM

So use for if you need to replace

TheBoxyBear•11/16/22, 10:35 PM

Then you can use the index array[i] = newValue;array[i] = newValue;

gododoOP•11/16/22, 11:08 PM

im trying to like replace the letter of the array alf with a letter of the array lett

Ggododo im trying to like replace the letter of the array alf with a letter of the array...

gododoOP•11/16/22, 11:09 PM

with the help of the key (ch)

gododoOP•11/16/22, 11:10 PM

so again if theres the letter a the array will move ch places and replace it

gododoOP•11/16/22, 11:11 PM

i tried to add the key to the var a but no matter how i convert it, it will always give me an error

gododoOP•11/16/22, 11:12 PM

wait nvm i fixed it for now

gododoOP•11/16/22, 11:12 PM

good job me

friedice•11/16/22, 11:16 PM

Unless I'm missing something, this seems unnecessarily complicated. Can't you just use a dictionary?

gododoOP•11/16/22, 11:22 PM

thats the issue i think i gotta do it without those

gododoOP•11/16/22, 11:23 PM

and also ive never used them anyways

Justin•11/20/22, 5:17 PM

This is known as a Caesar Shift. I did find some interesting tutorials online. No dictionaries necessary, you can do it with some math and some casting.
