I need to create a graph using the console with C#, it needs to be set out like below:

0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
| | | | | | | | | | |
***************************************************************** Blue
**** Red
********************** Yellow

The data will be dependent upon what the user enters as the percentage has to be calculated, each asterisk represents 2%.

My question is how to do it? How can I get the correct amount of asterisk to be shown i.e if blue equals 40% then display 20 asterix.

Thanks

static void Main(string[] args)

{

    int percentage = 40;

    string percentageToString = new string('*', percentage / 2);

    Console.WriteLine(percentageToString);

    Console.ReadLine();

}

Thanks that works fine apart from say if the number is 17% it needs to have 9 asterisk and this only makes it have 8, so it needs to round the number to the multiple of two in a way :confused:

Any ideas of how to do this?

add 1 to the percentage before you divide by 2 (I.E. force Rounding up)
