How to print 2 vertical lists next to each other in C#?

Question

I was wondering how I would print 2 lists next to each other. For example:

• sentence: 1
• vowels: 3

etc...

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

it was a little difficult to understand your requirements, but I think it may be the case where you could use a dictionary to solve your problem:

    var dict = new Dictionary<string, int>{
        {"Sentences",5},
        {"Vowels",20},
        {"Consonants",100},
        {"Upper Case Letters",50}
    };

    foreach(var keyPair in dict){
        Console.WriteLine(keyPair.Key + ": " + keyPair.Value);
    }

Answer 2

I have figured out how to do this. It isn't a good way of doing it though. I converted my parameters list to equal string and then joined them together.

class Report
{
    //Handles the reporting of the analysis
    //Maybe have different methods for different formats of output?
    //eg.   public void outputConsole(List<int>)

    // Variables
    string text;
    List<int> parameters;

    public Report(string Text, List<int> Parameters)
    {
        // Text is what you inputed in manual text
        text = Text;

        // Parameters is the list of results from analyse
        parameters = Parameters;
        // Convert to a list to add to report list.
        parameters.ToString();
    }

    public void OutputConsole()
    {
        // What they've inputed should be displayed.
        Console.WriteLine("This is the text that you've inputed: " + text);
        // The analysis should be reported. So, the numbers of sentences, etc
        List<string> report = new List<string>() { "Sentences: " + parameters[0] , "Vowels: " + parameters[1], "Consonants: " + parameters[2], "Upper Case Letters: " + parameters[3], "Lower Case Letters: " + parameters[4] };
        foreach (string reports in report)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(reports);
        }
      
    }
}
