Little update, I ran the program to check the random inputs a few times and it looks like all the inputs are fully uppercase, so I will just need to convert ever other index to lower. Seems that even indexes are upper and dd indexes should be lower.

So if the word is "good"

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:11 PM

You'd need it as G,o,O,d ?

You could loop over the char array and divide every index number by 2

 public static void Test10(char[] word)
        {
            for(int i = 0 ; i < word.Length; i++)
            {
                if(i % 2 == 0)
                {
                    
                }
            }
        }

 public static void Test10(char[] word)
        {
            for(int i = 0 ; i < word.Length; i++)
            {
                if(i % 2 == 0)
                {
                    
                }
            }
        }

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:13 PM

this is what i have so far

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:13 PM

You need to add condition for when index is 0 as well

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:14 PM

|| i == 0

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:14 PM

?

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:14 PM

If index = 0 then upper

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:14 PM

Yeah

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:14 PM

okay

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:14 PM

so then I would just convert the even indexes to lower

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:14 PM

lemme check if expected outputs want 0 as upper or lower

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:15 PM

Sure

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:15 PM

okay i read it wrong, even indexes are upper, odd indexes are lower.

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:16 PM

so maybe i could do

i % 2 != 0

i % 2 != 0

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:16 PM

to check that they are not even

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:16 PM

and then do ToLower?

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:16 PM

Yes

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:16 PM

If i % 2 is anything else than 0 then it it's odd

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:17 PM

okay

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:17 PM

so what would the proper syntax for tolower in this situation?

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:17 PM

i tried

.ToLower(word[i]);

.ToLower(word[i]);

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:18 PM

no clue

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:18 PM

Do one thing

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:18 PM

Make the word into a char array

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:18 PM

Like this

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:18 PM

it starts as a char array

kyo

Kkyo i tried ```.ToLower(word[i]);```

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:19 PM

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:24 PM

Shinigami

S

Shinigami•4/16/23, 4:24 PM

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:26 PM

would i have to do like i => 'A' && i <= 'Z'

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:27 PM

oh okay thank you

kyo

K

kyoOP•4/16/23, 4:27 PM

It's char.ToLower('A')char.ToLower('A') not 'A'.ToLower()'A'.ToLower()
