Hello people. I am a beginner in programming and i have a question about 'string' variables. If you help, i will be grateful.

string name = "mahmut";
string surname = "aslan";
string fullname = "... aslan";

//here is the question that i wanna ask. Is there a way that i can show the name 'mahmut' in fullname quotes without rewriting the word mahmut inside the fullname quotes ? :confused: If yes, could you please explain how ? It is some kinda homework for me. Thanks for the helps. :)

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you trying to build a string called fullname out of the other parts of the name? Are you trying to convert the "..." to "mahmut"?

string fullname = name + " " + surname;  // build a string called fullname

string fullname = "... alslan";
fullname = fullname.Replace("...", name);  // changes all occurances of "..." to 'name'

Oh, thank you very much my friend appreciated. I am just trying to write fullname without using the name again.

for ex:

fullname should be "mahmut aslan"


string name = "mahmut"
string fullname = "... aslan"

//how can i show the full name here without using the word "mahmut" in fullname quotes again.

[nmoghan]

i am not trying to convert "..." to "mahmut".
i need to show "mahmut" inside the fullname quotes without writing it inside the fullname quotes.



// i think it should be something like this

string name = "mahmut";
string fullname = name + "aslan";

//but i couldn't manage to make the name "mahmut" occur in fullname string without writing it.

He just showed you a method using "fullname.Replace("...", name);"

[nmoghan]

I have already done that thank you mate. But i was asking if there had been a way to show "mahmut" on string fullname instead of "name". However i started to beleive that it is impossible :D

[Alexander]

name is "mahmut", so you're replacing the "..." with "mahmut", that is the only way you can do so without using mahmut in double quotes.

Ok i see thank you for your help really appreciated. :)

you're just wanting to append aslan to the end of mahmut from what I can gather. No need for using Replace, should just be something along the lines of

string name = "mahmut";

string surname = "aslan";


string fullname = name + " " + surname;

but if you are wanting to replace some text with mahmut then yes, you'll need to use Replace
