# Challenge project
|
||||
|
||||
## Work with variable data in C#
|
||||
|
||||
Demonstrate your ability to develop a console app that implements data
|
||||
formatting and using arrays to deliver a multiple term search feature.
|
||||
|
||||
### Learning objectives
|
||||
|
||||
Apply iteration statements using data input.
|
||||
|
||||
- Process data.
|
||||
|
||||
- Format data output.
|
||||
|
||||
- Choose the correct data types and safely converting data types.
|
||||
|
||||
- Create and manipulate string arrays, and sort array data.
|
||||
|
||||
- Modify and build complex strings from multiple data sources, and format data
|
||||
for display.
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Suppose you're one of the developers working on the Contoso Pets adoption
|
||||
application to help find new homes for pets. Your starting version of the
|
||||
application gathers a single search term used to search the descriptions of
|
||||
dogs. A single term search is helpful, but the feedback given from the team is
|
||||
the application needs more search functionality. The team wants you to extend
|
||||
the search functionality to allow for multiple term searches. Additionally, the
|
||||
team wants to pilot an update to the "search status" animation that shows
|
||||
search progress.
|
||||
|
||||
In this challenge coding project, your C# data knowledge and skills are applied
|
||||
for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Creating string arrays by splitting strings
|
||||
- Manipulating array data, iterating through elements in an array, and sorting array data
|
||||
- Modifying and building strings from multiple data sources
|
||||
|
||||
In short, you'll:
|
||||
|
||||
- Develop multi-term search functionality for the "dogs" search
|
||||
- Update the "search status" animation, information and countdown
|
||||
|
||||
By the end of this module, you complete an updated version of the Contoso Pets
|
||||
application that searches all dogs available for adoption using multiple search
|
||||
terms and an improved search status simulation.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Project specification overview
|
||||
|
||||
Update the existing Contoso Pets starter application to include multiple term
|
||||
search and improved "search status" animation features:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Add dog attribute multi-term search
|
||||
|
||||
Gather user input for the pet characteristic multiple term search
|
||||
|
||||
- Users need to provide search terms separated by commas
|
||||
- Store the search terms in an array and sort the terms alphabetically
|
||||
|
||||
Within the animals array loop that identifies "dogs":
|
||||
|
||||
- Iterate through the search terms to search each dog's description
|
||||
- Search the combined description for a term match
|
||||
- Output each dog's description where there's one or more terms matched
|
||||
|
||||
After exiting the "search Animals" array loop that identifies dogs:
|
||||
|
||||
If no dogs were a match for any of the users provided search terms, output a no
|
||||
dogs matched message.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Add "search status" improvements
|
||||
|
||||
Update the animation
|
||||
|
||||
- Adjust the searchingIcons array to resemble a spinning dial
|
||||
- Adjust the animation loop so the animation shows a numeric countdown from two to zero (2.., 1.., 0..)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Starter code
|
||||
|
||||
The starter code project for this challenge project module includes a Program
|
||||
.cs file that provides the following code features:
|
||||
|
||||
The code declares variables used to collect and process pet data and menu item
|
||||
selections
|
||||
|
||||
The code declares the ourAnimals array
|
||||
|
||||
The code uses a for loop around an if-elseif-else construct to populate the
|
||||
ourAnimals array with a sample dataset
|
||||
|
||||
The code displays the following main menu options for user selection:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
1. List all of our current pet information
|
||||
2. Display all dogs with a specified characteristic
|
||||
|
||||
Enter menu item selection or type "Exit" to exit the program
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The application menu code reads the user's menu item selection and displays a
|
||||
message echoing their selection
|
||||
|
||||
Case 1: "List all of our current pet information" displays the sample data for
|
||||
all animals (two dogs and two cats)
|
||||
|
||||
Case 2: "2. Display all dogs with a specified characteristic" is the primary
|
||||
area where new functionality code is added
|
||||
|
||||
- Under Case 2, the starter code identifies dogs and searches for a single
|
||||
user input term
|
||||
- Before you search each dog, the console shows a simple "animation" that
|
||||
simulates a status for searching occurring
|
||||
|
||||
Your goal is to update the existing code to develop key features requested by
|
||||
your team:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add dog multiple attribute search
|
||||
- Update search animation
|
||||
|
||||
Use your development environment, and test your application at each stage of
|
||||
your development process.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Download a
|
||||
[zip](https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/Challenge-project-Work-with-variable-data-in-CSharp/archive/refs/heads/main.zip)
|
||||
file containing the code folders for the challenge project.
|
||||
|
||||
Build and run the file entering `dotnet run` in the terminal window.
|
||||
|
||||
The menu should display with two options. Enter `1` as shown in the following
|
||||
terminal example:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
Welcome to the Contoso PetFriends app. Your main menu options are:
|
||||
1. List all of our current pet information
|
||||
2. Display all dogs with a specified characteristic
|
||||
|
||||
Enter your selection number (or type Exit to exit the program)
|
||||
1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The sample data on the current pets should display followed by the message
|
||||
`Press the Enter key to continue`
|
||||
|
||||
After pressing Enter, the menu should display again. Choose Option `2`, shown
|
||||
in the following example:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
Welcome to the Contoso PetFriends app. Your main menu options are:
|
||||
1. List all of our current pet information
|
||||
2. Display all dogs with a specified characteristic
|
||||
|
||||
Enter your selection number (or type Exit to exit the program)
|
||||
2
|
||||
|
||||
Enter one desired dog characteristic to search for
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Enter "large" for the search term and press "Enter."
|
||||
|
||||
Notice the "searching" message as shown:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
searching our dog Nickname: gus for large ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notice, the message runs before each search of a pet, and the periods
|
||||
(`., .., ...`) at the end change in an animation. Run the search again if you
|
||||
missed it.
|
||||
|
||||
Once the search ends, press enter to return to the menu. Then type "exit" and
|
||||
press "Enter" to close the application.
|
||||
|
||||
Take a few minutes to become familiar with the Project.cs started code.
|
||||
|
||||
Focus on the areas that require updates, search and the animation.
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that there are some comments left in the code that indicate where to
|
||||
place an update.
|
||||
|
||||
You're now ready to begin the Guided project exercises. Good luck!

|
||||
### Add multiple term search support
|
||||
|
||||
The Contoso Pets app helps find new homes for abandoned pets. The team wants
|
||||
the search feature improved to let users enter multiple terms when searching
|
||||
for dogs to adopt.
|
||||
|
||||
### Search specification
|
||||
|
||||
In this first challenge exercise, you need to update the single term search
|
||||
feature to allow users to enter multiple search terms separated by commas.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Gather multiple search terms from the user
|
||||
|
||||
- Allow the user to enter multiple search terms when searching for dogs
|
||||
- The user needs instructions to "enter the search terms separated by commas"
|
||||
- Separate out individual search terms from the user entry string and store as
|
||||
values in an array
|
||||
- Sort the terms in the array in alphanumeric sort order
|
||||
|
||||
#### Identify dogs with descriptions with matches for one, or more, user search term
|
||||
|
||||
- As you identify a dog in the `animalsArray`, search for matches for each term
|
||||
the user has entered
|
||||
- For a term match, output a message with the dogs name and the term that is
|
||||
matched
|
||||
- example: `Our dog Jake is a match for your search for sheppard!`
|
||||
- When all term searches complete for the current dog description:
|
||||
- For one or more matches, output the nickname and description for the
|
||||
current dog
|
||||
- For one or more matches, track that there has been a match so you know not
|
||||
to display an "no matches found for any available dogs" message (refer to the
|
||||
next item)
|
||||
- After **all** dog searches complete with no matches, display a message "No
|
||||
matches found for any available dogs"
|
||||
|
||||
#### Enforce the following validation rules
|
||||
|
||||
- values can't be null
|
||||
- values can't have zero characters
|
||||
- any further restriction is up to the developer
|
||||
|
||||
#### Code comments
|
||||
|
||||
- Numbered code comments in the starter code offer suggestions
|
||||
- The comments are in a sequential order and only the comments starting with #1, #2, and #3 apply to this exercise of the challenge
|
||||
|
||||
#### Sample output
|
||||
|
||||
Review the following animated image
|
||||
|
||||
Notice the temporary display of "`searching...`" followed by the current term
|
||||
(example: "`searching...retriever`")
|
||||
|
||||
Notice the order the terms appear in search is now in alphanumeric
|
||||
|
||||
Notice the messages for matches persist (example:
|
||||
"`Our dog lola is a chase match!`")
|
||||
|
||||
Review the sample output in the following section, "How to check your work", to further clarify how to implement features
|
||||
|
||||
### How to check your work
|
||||
|
||||
To validate that your code satisfies the specified requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
Build and run your app.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note
|
||||
> You can exit the verification test before completing all of the verification
|
||||
steps if see a result that does not satisfy the specification requirements. To
|
||||
force an exit from the running program, in the Terminal panel, press Ctrl-C.
|
||||
After exiting the running app, complete the edits that you believe will address
|
||||
the issue you are working on, save your updates to the Program.cs file, and
|
||||
then re-build and run your code.
|
||||
|
||||
The terminal command prompt should display as the starting point for the
|
||||
program
|
||||
|
||||
At the command prompt, enter 2 menu:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
Welcome to the Contoso PetFriends app. Your main menu options are:
|
||||
1. List all of our current pet information

## Exercise
|
||||
|
||||
### Add improved search animation
|
||||
|
||||
The Contoso Pets app helps find new homes for abandoned pets. Part of the
|
||||
request for search feature improvement is to update the animated simulation
|
||||
indicating search progress.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Search animation specification
|
||||
|
||||
In this second challenge exercise, you need to update the search animation to
|
||||
resemble spinning and add a count down (2, 1, 0).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Change the current "searching" animation icons
|
||||
|
||||
Update the current animation "icons"
|
||||
`string[] searchingIcons = {". ", ".. ", "..."};`
|
||||
|
||||
Use new icons that simulate spinning
|
||||
|
||||
You can design the "searching" animation to display "spinning" to work
|
||||
differently than displayed in the animated image
|
||||
|
||||
The "searching..." animation, should continue to be overwritten, after each
|
||||
animation completes so it stays on the same line, and so that it doesn't
|
||||
display after the animation stops.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Add a countdown to the "searching" animation
|
||||
|
||||
Review the previous animated image - note the countdown in the output
|
||||
"`searching...retriever / 2`"
|
||||
The previous number "`2`" displays as "`1`", and finally as "`0`", counting down
|
||||
Update the loop that contains the "searching" animation so that the loop can
|
||||
display a countdown
|
||||
|
||||
##### Code comments
|
||||
|
||||
- Numbered code comments in the starter code offer suggestions
|
||||
- The comments are in a sequential order and only the comments starting with #4, and #5 apply to this exercise of the challenge
|
||||
|
||||
#### How to check your work
|
||||
|
||||
To validate that your code satisfies the specified requirements, complete the
|
||||
instruction steps:
|
||||
|
||||
Build and run your app.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note
|
||||
> You can exit the verification test before completing all of the verification
|
||||
steps if see a result that does not satisfy the specification requirements. To
|
||||
force an exit from the running program, in the Terminal panel, press Ctrl-C.
|
||||
After exiting the running app, complete the edits that you believe will address
|
||||
the issue you are working on, save your updates to the Program.cs file, and
|
||||
then re-build and run your code.
|
||||
|
||||
The terminal command prompt should display as the starting point for the
|
||||
program
|
||||
|
||||
At the command prompt, enter 2 menu:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
Welcome to the Contoso PetFriends app. Your main menu options are:
|
||||
1. List all of our current pet information
|
||||
2. Display all dogs with a specified characteristic
|
||||
|
||||
Enter your selection number (or type Exit to exit the program)
|
||||
2
|
||||
|
||||
Enter dog characteristics to search for separated by commas
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
At the command prompt, enter **golden, big** and press enter to test the search
|
||||
status messages with animation and countdown
|
||||
|
||||
Verify that the console panel updates with temporary "searching" status
|
||||
messages similar to the code output samples:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
Enter dog characteristics to search for separated by commas
|
||||
golden, big
|
||||
|
||||
searching our dog Nickname: lola for big / 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
searching our dog Nickname: lola for big -- 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
searching our dog Nickname: lola for golden \ 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
searching our dog Nickname: lola for golden * 0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
All the user entered search terms should display with the "`searching`" spin
|
||||
animation and countdown for each dog where the "searching our dog..." line in
|
||||
the output overwrites the previous line to create an animation
|
||||
|
||||
Refer to the previous animated image of the running program for more examples
|
||||
of the "searching" status animation with countdown
|
||||
|
||||
Validate after the searching has stopped, the "`searching`" animation and
|
||||
countdown no longer displays
|
||||
|
||||
> Note
|
||||
> If your code meets the requirements you should be able to complete each step
|
||||
in order and see the expected results in a single test pass.
|
||||
