Okay, I have a load of else if
statements, is there a way to condense them into fewer lines of code? Like make one if statement for all of it? And what ways could I make my code more optimize and easier to read?
int x;
int y;
int time=0;
Random rng = new Random();
int hrand_num = rng.Next(-24000, 24000);
int vrand_num = rng.Next(-24000, 24000);
x = hrand_num;
y = vrand_num;
while (true)

Assuming that you are using C# 8.0 you may have a look at the switch statement and switch expressions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/switch-expression (additionaly the patterns documentation is also helpful: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/patterns)
So you could write something like:
switch (key)
{
case ConsoleKey.UpArrow:
y=y 2000;
break;
// [...]
}
time = x switch
{
>= -2000 and <= 0 => 0,
>= 1 and <= 2000 => 1
// [...]
};

I would suggest that you take advantage of:
- a switch statement for interpreting the arrow key
- comparing the switch statement to an if loop, you can think of the first
case
as being theif
condition and the remaningcase
s as being theelse if
conditions
- comparing the switch statement to an if loop, you can think of the first
Math.Abs( )
andMath.Sign( )
for circumnavigating the player's positionMath.Abs( )
returns the absolute value of the variable; e.g. willMath.Abs(x)
return5
both forx = 5
andx = -5
Math.Sign( )
returns the sign of the value; if the value is a negative number, it returns-1
; if it's a positive number, it returns1
; if it's neither (0), it returns0
. This helps us determine the wanted sign of the updated value.
- a switch expression for setting the
time
- seeing as the
time
value alone is determined byx
in the end, you can use a switch expression rather than a switch statement to determine its value. The switch expression says that you want to determine the value oftime
based on the value ofx
; and each following condition is compared tox
(<= -22001
is computed asx <= -22001
). If the condition evaluates totrue
, the provided value is set as the value oftime
(=> 13
then setstime = 13
).
- seeing as the
It could be implemented like this:
int x;
int y;
Random rng = new Random();
int hrand_num = rng.Next(-24000, 24000);
int vrand_num = rng.Next(-24000, 24000);
x = hrand_num;
y = vrand_num;
while (true)
{
switch (Console.ReadKey().Key)
{
case ConsoleKey.UpArrow:
y = 2000;
break;
case ConsoleKey.DownArrow:
y -= 2000;
break;
case ConsoleKey.LeftArrow:
x -= 1000;
break;
case ConsoleKey.RightArrow:
x = 1000;
break;
}
// Circumnavigate Players Position.
// North and South
if (Math.Abs(y) > 24000)
{
y = -(Math.Sign(y) * 24000);
}
//West and East
else if (Math.Abs(x) > 24000)
{
x = -(Math.Sign(x) * 24000);
}
// Setting Time Zones
var time = x switch
{
<= -22001 => 13,
<= -20001 => 14,
<= -18001 => 15,
<= -16001 => 16,
<= -14001 => 17,
<= -12001 => 18,
<= -10001 => 19,
<= -8001 => 20,
<= -6001 => 21,
<= -4001 => 22,
<= -2001 => 23,
<= 0 => 0,
<= 2000 => 1,
<= 4000 => 2,
<= 6000 => 3,
<= 8000 => 4,
<= 10000 => 5,
<= 12000 => 6,
<= 14000 => 7,
<= 16000 => 8,
<= 18000 => 9,
<= 20000 => 10,
<= 22000 => 11,
<= 24000 => 12,
_ => 0
};
Console.WriteLine($"X: {x,6} Y: {y,6} Time: {time,3}");
I would also suggest introducing some constants; particularily for the value 24000
.
