Hello, I have a test that I have to complete for tomorrow.
I'm not really experienced but I need to pass this test to get a job, that's really important since I'm unemployed. Many thanks in advance.
The problem is:

Review the C# module rainbow.cs and comment on:

1. Design errors
2. Implementation errors
3. Limitations on use
4. Possible improvements
5. Possible alternative designs


Code:

salut,

1 --> sur la base de ton code
il faut mettre tout en uint pour éviter d'avoir des conversions

2 --> il mettre
return colours.ColsStr[col-1];
et
if (colours.ColsStr[idx-1].CompareTo(colStr) == 0)

pour les 2 recherches
apres il est possible de tout refaire sur une base d'enum 

//classe static maintenant
namespace Rainbow
{
  static  class   Rainbow
    {
        public enum Couleur : uint
        {
            RED = 1,
            ORANGE = 2,
            YELLOW = 3,
            GREEN = 4,
            BLUE = 5,
            INDIGO = 6,
            VIOLET = 7
        }

        public static string GetColour(uint col)
        {
            return Enum.GetName(typeof(Couleur), col);
        }

        public static uint GetColour(string colStr)
        {
            return (uint)(Enum.Parse(typeof(Couleur), colStr, false));

        }
    }
}

------------


//Utilisation
Console.WriteLine("rainbow.GetColour(2): " + Rainbow.Rainbow.GetColour(2));
Console.WriteLine("rainbow.GetColour(" + Rainbow.Rainbow.Couleur.VIOLET + "): " + Rainbow.Rainbow.GetColour(Rainbow.Rainbow.Couleur.VIOLET.ToString()));

//résultat
rainbow.GetColour(2): ORANGE
rainbow.GetColour(VIOLET): 7

Do you really think that asking other people to make your work is a good idea ? Is that what you're gonna do if you get this job ?
You're trying to get a job by lying about what you can do. What will happen when they see you can't program in C# ?

Alright, so to make it a bit more clear, I am good in C++ and Java programming (2years in company) but that's true much less with C#. Anyway it doesn't matter since the job I apply for is UI Design in java, but the test is in C# because as you can see it's more of a design problem research than a compilation problem research. SO in that case, I already have answers to this problem, the reason I put this on a forum is that I need this job and I wanted other opinions from maybe more experienced guys to be sure that what I'm gonna give to this company is perfect... And you know as well as I do that once you have the job, even if they're some stuff you don't know how to do and you're not an expert, there is always a way around to handle it.
So please, instead of spending time to judge me, could you please just help me if you're so good.

Thank you.

Best regards,

By the way, any idea about:

Console.WriteLine(@"rainbow.GetColour(""black""): " +
rainbow.GetColour("black"));

What is this @? What is it used for?

Thank you.

@ before a string is a way to avoid special chars with \. If you want to write ", you have to double it

If fact,
@"rainbow.GetColour(""black""): "
is the same thing as
"rainbow.GetColour("black"): "

This way of writing strings is really efficient for paths
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Login\\My Documents\\My Pictures"
=>
@"C:\Documents and Settings\Login\My Documents\My Pictures"

Cheers mate, now it explains why this code was interpreted as GetColour("black")...

Thanks a lot.

Otherwise, I think I found quite good answers to every single point except the number 3 "Limitation on use" of this code, do you have any idea?

Thank you very much again.
