ToString Help

[Maxime]

Hi i have a fonction who check word in dictionnaire but when i use ToString he convert my word of 4 char in a string of 13 char ? Why

string[] dic; // Dictionnairy in memory

public void isDic(char[] aWord)

{

Array.Sort(aWord);

for(int i=0;i<dic.Length;i++)

{

if(aWord.Length == dic[i].Length)

{

char[] cWord = dic[i].ToCharArray();

Array.Sort(cWord);

if(aWord.ToString().CompareTo(cWord.ToString())==0 )

{

lOut.Text += dic[i] + " ";

}

}

}

lOut.Text += " FIN";

}

Thanks Max

char[].ToString() doesn't do what you think it does. Use

new String(char[]) to convert an array of characters into a string.

Well, this springs to mind:

static bool CharArraysEqual (char[] x, char[] y)
{
if (x.Length != y.Length)
{
return false;
}
for (int i=0; i < x.Length; i++)
{
if (x[i] != y[i])
{
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
