C#: Create a new string where 'if' is added to the front of a given string

C# Sharp Basic Algorithm: Exercise-5 with Solution

Add 'if' to String if Absent

Write a C# Sharp program to create a string where 'if' is added to the front of a given string. If the string already begins with 'if', return it unchanged.

Sample Solution:

C# Sharp Code:

using System;

// Namespace declaration
namespace exercises
{
    // Class declaration
    class Program
    {
        // Main method - entry point of the program
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Calling the 'test' method with different strings and displaying the returned values
            Console.WriteLine(test("if else"));   // Output: "if else"
            Console.WriteLine(test("else"));      // Output: "if else"
            Console.ReadLine();                   // Keeping the console window open
        }

        // Method to modify the string based on a condition
        public static string test(string s)
        {
            // Checking if the length of the string is greater than 2 and if the substring from index 0 to 1 is "if"
            if (s.Length > 2 && s.Substring(0, 2).Equals("if"))
            {
                return s;  // If the condition is true, return the original string 's'
            }
            return "if " + s;  // If the condition is false, prepend "if " to the string 's' and return it
        }
    }
}

Sample Output:

if else
if else

Previous: Write a C# Sharp program to check a given integer and return true if it is within 10 of 100 or 200.
Next: Write a C# Sharp program to remove the character in a given position of a given string. The given position will be in the range 0.str.length()-1 inclusive).
