my code words but its ugly;
it prints "donkey kong" to the console screen which is what i want. can you show me the correct way to do this with cleaner code because this is really hairy right now.Code:string word = "Hello World donkey kong"; if (word.Length > 0) { int i = word.IndexOf(" ") + 1; string str = word.Substring(i); int j = str.IndexOf(" ") + 1; string str_2 = str.Substring(j); Console.WriteLine(str_2); }

I don't use C#, but an improvement I can think of is to define a function that takes a string and how many words you want it to skip, skip them in a loop using that or any other method and return the result.
Devoted my life to programming...
What about this? Looks more verbose but because of the error checking, however doesn't create a useless string str.
Code:static void Main (string[] args) { string word = "Hello World donkey kong"; int firstPos = word.IndexOf(' '); if (firstPos > -1 && firstPos < word.Length - 1) { int secondPos = word.IndexOf(' ', firstPos + 1); if (secondPos > -1 && secondPos < word.Length - 1) word = word.Substring(secondPos + 1); } Console.WriteLine(word); }
hey thats nice sorry for the delay i was busy.Originally Posted by OldGuy2
