Array Exercise 1 - Fortune Predictor
Let’s look at some examples of using arrays.
First make a new project called Predictor, then……
Create an array of strings called timeArray with the following data:










thirty minutes
an hour
eight hours
twelve hours
a day
a week
a month
a year
a decade

Create an array of strings called aspectArray with the following data:






finances
love life
career prospects
travel plans
relationships

Create an array of strings called effectArray with the following data:







fall apart
exceed your expectation
become awkward in an unexpected way
become manageable
become spectacular
come to a positive outcome

Create an array of strings called personaArray with the following data:










man
boy
woman
girl
dog
bird
hedgehog
singer
relative

Create an array of strings called featureArray with the following data:







pink hair
a broken goldenchain
scary eyes
long blond nose hair
very red lips
silver feet

Create an array of strings called consequenceArray with the following data:







avoid looking at directly
sing a sad song with
stop and talk to
dance with
tell a secret
buy a coffee

Create a Button click event and a TextBlock for output.

In the click event use a random number to select an element randomly from each of the strings, as the
following example illustrates timeArray[number.Next(0, timeArray.Length)].

In the click event, add the arrays to the following string to build a basic fortune predictor (use
theTextBlock to output the string):
Over a period of timeArray your aspectArray will effectArray.
This will come to pass after you meet a personaArray with featureArray who for some reason you find
yourself obliged to consequenceArray.

Use the TextBlock string to also output the prediction as a text-to-talk message.

Now add an image to your application.

Finally… change the message and the content of the arrays to develop your own version of the
application…
