C#: Longest abecedarian word in a array of words
C# Sharp String: Exercise-64 with Solution
Abecedarian Word:
The English noun and adjective abecedarian has several closely related senses. As a noun, it means "someone learning the letters of the alphabet," and more loosely, "a beginner in a field of learning." As an adjective, abecedarian means "pertaining to the alphabet; arranged in alphabetical order; elementary, rudimentary."
Write a C# Sharp program to find the longest abecedarian word in a given array of words.
Sample Data:
({"abc", "abcd", "abcdef", "pqrstuv"}) -> "pqrstuv"
({"abc", "abcd", "abcdef", "pqrs"}) -> "abcdef"
({}) -> "Empty array!"
Sample Solution:
C# Sharp Code:
using System;
using System.Linq;
namespace exercises
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] words = {"abc", "abcd", "abcdef", "pqrstuv"};
Console.WriteLine("Original array of words: ");
Console.WriteLine($"{string.Join(", ", words)}");
Console.WriteLine("Longest abecedarian word in the said array of words: " + test(words));
string[] words1 = {"abc", "abcd", "abcdef", "pqrs"};
Console.WriteLine("\nOriginal array of words: ");
Console.WriteLine($"{string.Join(", ", words1)}");
Console.WriteLine("Longest abecedarian word in the said array of words: " + test(words1));
string[] words2 = {};
Console.WriteLine("\nOriginal array of words: ");
Console.WriteLine($"{string.Join(", ", words2)}");
Console.WriteLine("Longest abecedarian word in the said array of words: " + test(words2));
}
public static string test(string[] array_words)
{
if (!array_words.Any())
{
return "Empty array!";
}
string result = "";
foreach (string word in array_words)
{
char[] temp = word.ToCharArray();
Array.Sort(temp);
string cword = new string(temp);
if (cword == word && word.Length > result.Length)
result = word;
}
return result;
}
}
}
Sample Output:
Original array of words: abc, abcd, abcdef, pqrstuv Longest abecedarian word in the said array of words: pqrstuv Original array of words: abc, abcd, abcdef, pqrs Longest abecedarian word in the said array of words: abcdef Original array of words: Longest abecedarian word in the said array of words: Empty array!
