Store name + number and sort in size order based on the numbers

Question

Doing a college project and I\'m a bit stuck..

Basically, I need to take the string input for an employee name and an integer input for the amount of properties they sol

Answer 1

Ideally you would be using a class for these, as seen in the example below.

 public class Owner
{
    public string Name { get; }
    public int PropertiesSold { get; }
    public Owner(string name, int propertiesSold)
    {
        Name = name;
        PropertiesSold = propertiesSold;
    }
}

This way you can keep track of the name and # of properties at the same time. Your loop turns into this:

 List owners = new List();

        for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
        {

            Console.WriteLine("Please enter the employee name: ");
            string name  = Console.ReadLine();

            Console.WriteLine("Please enter the number of Properties Sold: ");
            int numProperties = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            owners.Add(new Owner(name, numProperties));
        }

And you can use Linqs OrderByDescending as seen here to sort the list of Owners. LINQ Orderby Descending Query.
