Determining if enum value is in list (C#)

Question

I am building a fun little app to determine if I should bike to work.

I would like to test to see if it is either Raining or Thunderstorm(ing).

Answer 1

I'm not sure that it should be a flag - I think that you should have an range input for:

• Temperature
• How much it's raining
• Wind strength
• any other input you fancy (e.g. thunderstorm)

you can then use an algorithm to determine if the conditions are sufficiently good.

I think you should also have an input for how likely the weather is to remain the same for cycling home. The criteria may be different - you can shower and change more easliy when you get home.

If you really want to make it interesting, collect the input data from a weather service api, and evaulate the decision each day - Yes, I should have cycled, or no, it was a mistake. Then perhaps you can have the app learn to make better decisions.

Next step is to "socialize" your decision, and see whether other people hear you are making the same decisions.
