Convert a word into character array

Question

How do I convert a word into a character array?

Lets say i have the word \"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis\" yes this is a word ! I would like to take

Answer 1

You can use the Linq Aggregate function to do this:

"wordsto".ToLower().Aggregate(0, (running, c) => running + c - 97);

(This particular example assumes you want to treat upper- and lower-case identically.)

The subtraction of 97 translates the ASCII value of the letters such that 'a' is zero. (Obviously subtract 96 if you want 'a' to be 1.)

Answer 2

you can use simple for loop.

string word = "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis";
int wordCount = word.Length;
for(int wordIndex=0;wordIndex<wordCount; wordIndex++)
{
    char c = word[wordIndex];
   // your code
}

Answer 3

what about

char[] myArray = myString.ToCharArray();

But you don't actually need to do this if you want to iterate the string. You can simply do

for( int i = 0; i < myString.Length; i++ ){
  if( myString[i] ... ){
    //do what you want here
  }
}

This works since the string class implements it's own indexer.

Answer 4

you can use ToCharArray() method of string class

string strWord = "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"; 
char[] characters = strWord.ToCharArray(); 

Answer 5

string word = "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis";
char[] characters = word.ToCharArray();

Voilá!
