Anyone know any programming?

Xirema

@Ben Sup.

Ben

Brace yourself for this.

I have a List<Datatable(string, string)> simple enough

Xirema

Okay.

Ben

The idea is that string 1 is the "header", and string b is the "value".

What I want to do is create a table. For each item in List, create a duo of columns - "Label #" and "Value #", where # is the index of the item in the List.

Miniman

So...you want a 1-row table with twice as many columns as there are items in the list?

Ben

What I've got, is an immediate [redacted] of a nested foreach with immediate breaks to try and deal with each string, string pair

Admittedly, this was adapted from a previous program that created the Column header from string a, and inserted string b into the appropriate row/column. That worked fine

Xirema

for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
    columns.add(list.get(i).first);
    columns.add(list.get(i).second);
}

Something like that? ^

Well, I saw a few seconds of it, lol

Ben

What's the formatting?

Also - C# if that makes any difference.

@Miniman 2 columns per list item, 1 row per if string a = 'name'

Xirema

@Ben Copy the code as it appears in your text editor, then hit the "fixed font" button that appears next to the Send + Upload buttons.

	const roll_ptr dice::MARIO = std::make_shared<custom_die>("SMP Mario", std::vector<die_face>{ 1,3,3,3,5,6 });

DataTable AddToTable(List<Dictionary<string, string>> recordList)
{
DataTable table = new DataTable();
DataColumn keyColumn;
DataColumn valColumn;
DataRow row;

foreach (var record in recordList)
{
row = table.NewRow();
foreach (var item in record)
{
if (recordList.IndexOf(record) == 0)
{
row = table.NewRow();
// Add "Filename" column
keyColumn = new DataColumn();
keyColumn.ColumnName = item.Key.ToString();
keyColumn.DefaultValue = "";
table.Columns.Add(keyColumn);

// Add label to row
row[item.Key.ToString()] = item.Value.ToString();

Dang it. Lol

You get it though

Xirema

1:06 AM

Yeah.

Ben

It's a mess. I will admit that

Xirema

So what are you trying to fix in the code?

Or change?

Ben

Well currently what that does is generate 800 columns, and no rows. Lol

Xirema

And what's it supposed to do?

Ben

I'm expecting maybe 10 columns, and 400 rows

That

foreach (record in List)
{
    foreach (item in record)
    {
        //do stuff
        break;
    }
}

Xirema

1:10 AM

So the records are supposed to each have their own row, and each item in the record is a column in that row?

Ben

That bit is nasty

Xirema

Well, you can't escape it. The algorithmic complexity is O(n^2), any tricks you employ to avoid that is just going to make your code harder to debug.

But....

Ben

the list looks a bit like this:

Filename, "name.ext"
Fruit, Apple
Filename, "name2.ext"
Fruit, Orange
Animal, Dog

etc...

so each time it hits that "filename", it creates a new row

Xirema

So in that example, some rows have some columns that are blank?

Like "name.ext" doesn't have an animal listed.

Ben

@Xirema Potentially, yeah.

And the idea is that when it adds a new list entry to that row, it will create the appropriate "Label #, Value #" columns for it

@xirema potentially might be worthwhile moving this to TBR?

Xirema

1:16 AM

Yeah.

Ben

@BESW or other mods please feel free to move all this junk to TBR :)

hi. Just letting you know that after the cheese, now there is a new contest going.

@nitsua60 don't know if you want to try your luck with this one too.

It is about time this time.

@Derpy Thanks--I'll take a look!

@nitsua60 I am attempting an "Advent Calendar".

A: Time for some more swag!

Well, considering the current season and that the theme is the passing of time, I think an Advent Calendar is most appropriate here. Run the attached snippet to see it. var today = new Date(); $(".dialog").dialog({ autoOpen : false, modal : true, show : "blind", hide : "blind" ...
