Input:
string param = "1100,1110,0110,0001";
Output:
int[] matrix = new[]
{
1,1,0,0,
1,1,1,0,
0,1,1,0,
0,0,0,1
};
What I did?
First of all I splited string to string[].
string[] resultantArray = param.Split(',');
Created one method, where I passed my string[].
var intArray = toIntArray(resultantArray);
static private int[] toIntArray(string[] strArray)
{
int[] intArray = new int[strArray.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < strArray.Length; i++)
{
intArray[i] = int.Parse(strArray[i]);
}
return intArray;
}
Issue?
I tried many solutions of SO, but none of them helped me.
Ended up with array without leading zeroes.
.Where(char.IsDigit) char-digits into integer: .Select(x => x-'0') (this is not as pretty as int.Parse or Convert.ToInt32 but it's super fast)Code:
string param = "1100,1110,0110,0001";
int[] result = param.Where(char.IsDigit).Select(x => x-'0').ToArray();
As CodesInChaos commented, this could lead to an error if there are other type of Digits within your input like e.g. Thai digit characters: '๐' '๑' '๒' '๓' '๔' '๕' '๖' '๗' '๘' '๙' where char.IsDigit == true - if you need to handle such special cases you can allow only 0 and 1 in your result .Where("01".Contains)
You could also remove the commas and convert the result character-wise as follows using Linq.
string param = "1100,1110,0110,0001";
int[] result = param.Replace(",", "").Select(c => (int)Char.GetNumericValue(c)).ToArray();
yet another way to do this
static private IEnumerable<int> toIntArray(string[] strArray)
{
foreach (string str in strArray)
{
foreach (char c in str)
{
yield return (int)char.GetNumericValue(c);
}
}
}
