2,315 Pointshow do you get value from values
I am trying to understand lesson and do the object but it doesn't really go into my head.
What I am trying to do is assigning each value in values array to weatherForcast and return it.
I have no idea if I am doing correctly and it keep failing to compile which is frustrating to be honet.
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Program
{
/*Create a static method named ParseWeatherForecast that takes a string[] parameter named values and returns a WeatherForecast.
Instantiate a WeatherForecast variable named weatherForecast and assign the appropriate value in the values array to the WeatherStationId property.
Use the sample data shown in WeatherForecast.cs to determine which value in the array is the WeatherStationId.
Don't forget to return the weatherForecast in the new method!*/
public static void Main(string[] arg)
{
public static List<string[]> ParseWeatherForecast(string[] values)
{
WeatherForcast weatherForecast = new List<string[]>();
value = weatherForecast.WeatherStationId;
while(value != null)
{
values = value.Splite(',');
weatherForcast.ADD(values);
}
return weatherForecast;
}
}
}
}
using System;
/* Sample CSV Data

231,198 PointsPerhaps a few hints will help:
- the "ParseWeatherForecast" method should not be inside the "Main" method
- the new method returns a
List<string>
but the instructions say it should return aWeatherForecast
- "WeatherForcast " should be spelled "WeatherForecast " instead
- the instructions only ask for a single assignment, no loop is needed
- the WeatherStationId property is what will be assigned to (left side of =)
- the correct item of the "values" array can be accessed with indexing (bracket notation)
