C# || How To Replace A Letter With Its Alphabet Position Using C#

May 14, 2021 admin No comments

The following is a module with functions which demonstrates how to replace a letter with its alphabet position using C#.

1. Replace With Alphabet Position

The example below demonstrates the use of ‘Utils.Methods.GetAlphabetPosition‘ to replace a letter with its alphabet position.





		
		
			1. Replace With Alphabet Position
			
C#
			
			// Replace With Alphabet Position

// Get alphabet position
var result = Utils.Methods.GetAlphabetPosition("The sunset sets at twelve o' clock.");

// Display the results
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ", result));

// expected output:
/*
    20 8 5 19 21 14 19 5 20 19 5 20 19 1 20 20 23 5 12 22 5 15 3 12 15 3 11
*/

// Get alphabet position
var result = Utils.Methods.GetAlphabetPosition("The sunset sets at twelve o' clock.");
 
// Display the results
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ", result));
 
// expected output:
/*
    20 8 5 19 21 14 19 5 20 19 5 20 19 1 20 20 23 5 12 22 5 15 3 12 15 3 11
*/

2. Utils Namespace

The following is the Utils Namespace. Include this in your project to start using!
