Question

I’m having hard time figuring out what collection should I use, either the array Numbers or each line of text in my WebResponce.

Basically, the link in Create method returns 5 numbers. I want to take each line item and place it into array.

I’m having hard time wrapping my head around foreach loop needed to make this work, at least I think I should be using foreach.

        int[] Numbers = new int[5];

        WebRequest myRequest = WebRequest.Create(
            "http://www.random.org/integers/?num=5&min=1&max=56&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new");

        WebResponse myResponce = (WebResponse)myRequest.GetResponse();

        Stream myStream = myResponce.GetResponseStream();

        StreamReader myReader = new StreamReader(myStream);

        Numbers[0] = Convert.ToInt32(myReader.ReadToEnd());

        foreach (var item in collection)
        {

        }



        Console.ReadLine();

You don’t need a collection.

Instead, you can read straight out of the StreamReader:

string line;
while (null != (line = reader.ReadLine()) {
    int x = int.Parse(line);
    ...
}
