School Project in Console Application

Question

This is a very shameful question. But, I really don't have experience in the console app. I have this code below Console.WriteLine( "Enter 10 names:
" ); string [] names = new string [10]; foreach ( string n in names) { Console.ReadLine(); } Now, I need to search for a name from the list. If found, I want to display "found" and "not found" if the searched name is not from the list. thanks for any help.

Your complete code should be using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace TestList { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { List Names = new List (); Console.WriteLine( "how many names do you want to enter?" ); int n=Convert.ToInt 32 (Console.ReadLine()); Console.WriteLine( "Enter names one by one using Enter " ); for (int i = 0 ; i { Names.Add(Console.ReadLine()); } Console.WriteLine( "You have entered following Names" ); foreach (var name in Names) { Console.WriteLine( name); } Console.WriteLine( "Enter the name you want to search" ); string s = Console.ReadLine(); if (Names.Contains(s)) { Console.WriteLine( "found" ); } else { Console.WriteLine( "Not Found" ); } Console.ReadLine(); } } }

Shame is not to ask even if you don't know, its all about perception. Cw( "Enter name that you want to search" ) string s= Console.RealLine(); foreach (string n in names) { if(s==n){ console.writeLine( "found" ); } else { cw( "Not Found" ); }

I reconstructed my code and did like this: static void Main( string [] args) { Console.WriteLine( "Enter 10 names:
" ); string [] names = new string [5]; List string > listNames = new List string >(); foreach ( string n in names) { listNames.Add(Console.ReadLine()); } Console.WriteLine( "
" ); Console.Write( "Enter name that you want to search:
 
" ); string str = Console.ReadLine(); bool res = listNames.AsQueryable().Contains(str); Console.WriteLine( "
" ); if (res == true ) { Console.WriteLine( "found" ); } else { Console.WriteLine( "Not Found" ); } } And I found the answer I was looking for.

Thanks a lot! But, how can I get rid of the 2 unnecessary results ?
