Well, the AddDate method adds up the digits contained in whatever string is passed to it until it eventually arrives at a single digit. So, if Saturday produces a total of 22 and you want to reduce this to the single digit 4, then you need to pass total.ToString() i.e. "22" to the method. Your code should therefore be: if(comboBox2.SelectedIndex >1) { string text1 = comboBox2.SelectedItem.ToString().ToLower(); int total1 = 0; for (int i = 0; i { if (dict.ContainKeys(text1[i])) { total1 += dict[text1[i]]; } } int number = AddDate(total1.ToString()); textBox3.Text = number.ToString(); }

i am working on visual studio 2008 using c# i have a label on form 2 called label1. it inherits the day from form1 when the user selects a date from datepicker1. on form2 i have a textbox3. i want to take the label1.text which for example is SATURDAY. EACH LETTER FROM SATURDAY HAS A VALUE IN ARRAY. FOR EXAMPLE S=2,A=1,T=3,U=1 ETC SATURDAY WILL THEN BE 2+1+3..= 22 I MANAGED TO GET TO THE ANSWER OF 22. NOW I NEED TO SPLIT 22 INTO 2+2=4. vULPES HAS HELP THUS FAR. HE ALSO GAVE ME A FUNCTION WHICH WORKS WITH DATE. NOW IT IS WITH DAY

Thank you once again. I really appreciate it. In fact i see it is easier to work with functions. tell me if i can use the same function when it comes to DAYS.EXAMPLE Saturday,Monday.etc I am trying to use the prev solution with arrays. I INCLUDED in my Form LOAD AN ARRAY LIKE STRING [] DAYS = {"SATURDAY","Monday",etc ...}; WHEN I RUN THE CODE I AM GETTING 22. I NEED TO SPLIT 2+2= 4 ( correct ) WHEN I RUN THE CODE WITH FUNCTION i get 8( incorrect ) if(comboBox2.SelectediNDEX >1) { string text1 = comboBox2.SelectedItem.ToString().ToLower(); int total1 = 0; for (int i=0; i if ( dict.ContainKeys(text1 [i]) ) { total1 += dict[text1 [i]]; int s = convert.ToInt32(total1 += dict[text1 [i]]); int number = AddDate(s.ToString()); textBox3.Text = number.ToString();

That should work. The last line should be textBox5.Text = number.ToString();

the date is entered in the main form and i have it shown in the 2nd form as a label.text. how do i change the last two lines int number = AddDate(label1.text) textBox5 = number.ToString() can i do it like tis or do i convertTo Int32

Just add this method to your form: private int AddDate(string date) { string text = date; int total; do { total = 0; foreach(char c in text) { if (char.IsDigit(c)) total += c - 48; // '0' is ASCII 48 } text = total.ToString(); } while (text.Length > 1); return total; } and call it with your date as a string. For example: int number = AddDate("04/11/2008"); label1.Text = number.ToString(); // 7
