Question

I am trying to create an application that prompts a user for 5 names, then display each name and allow the user to enter a score for that particular name. So if in the first array, the value for index [0] is a string “Bob”, then in the other array for scores index [0] should be the score for bob.

I am having a hard time understand how to pass the nameArray[] to the PopulateScore() method so that it can display the name for the user to enter a corresponding score.

I also have to search the Array by name and return the score.

Thanks for any help.

public class InitArraya
{
    public static string[] arrayName = new string[5];
    public static int[] arrayScore = new int[5];

    public static void PopulateNameArray()
    {
        // Prompt user for names and assign values to the elements of the array
        for (int intCounter = 1; intCounter < arrayName.Length; intCounter++)
        {
            Console.Write("Enter name {0}: ", intCounter);
            arrayName[intCounter] = Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

    public static void PopulateScoreArray(string[] array)
    {    
        // Prompt user for names and assign values to the elements of the array
        for (int intCounter = 1; intCounter < 5; intCounter++)
        {
            Console.Write("Enter score for {0}: ", arrayName[0]);
            arrayScore[intCounter] = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
        }
    }

    public static void Main( string[] args )
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Enter 5 names:"); // headings

        PopulateNameArray();
        PopulateScoreArray(arrayName);

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

in

public static void PopulateScoreArray(string[] array)

change

 Console.Write("Enter score for {0}: ", arrayName[0]);

to

Console.Write("Enter score for {0}: ", array[intCounter]);

To use input array. Also in all for(-) change the start for counter to 0

for (int intCounter = 0; intCounter < 5; intCounter++)
