Is there some way to do the following in C#, but I was looking and .indexOf didnt stick out to me. Does it exist, or what other method should I be using?
string t = "joke";
string sentence = "there is no joke here";
string[] array = sentence.Split(" ".ToCharArray());
//here is the kicker
int count = array.indexOf(t);
return count;
This should return 3??
How about Array.IndexOf()?
var index = Array.IndexOf(array, t);
Use Array.IndexOf
int count = Array.IndexOf(array, t);
Array.IndexOf is static method, so you should use it like this:
int count = Array.IndexOf(array, t);
int indexOfWord = Array.FindIndex(sentence.Split(' '), w => w == t);
You don't have to do Split(" ".ToCharArray()), because there are params keyword in the definition of Split method. Compiler automaticaly converts Split(' ') to Split(new char[] {' '}) for you ;)
You're close: Array.IndexOf is a static method within Array. So you'd have
int index = Array.IndexOf<string>(words, "no");
See the difference?
this will give the index of element...
int keyIndex = array.ToList().FindIndex(w => w=="joke");
