Question

Create a program in c# named Auction that allows a user to enter an amount bid on an online auction item. Include three overloaded methods that accept an int, double, or string bid. Each method should display the bid and indicate whether it is over the minimum acceptable bid of $10. If the bid is greater than $10, display Bid accepted. If the bid is less than $10, display Bid not high enough. If the bid is a string, accept it only if one of the following is true: It is numeric and preceded with a dollar sign. It is numeric and followed by the word dollars. Otherwise, display a message that says Bid was not in correct format.

Explanation / Answer

// C# Solution

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Auction
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            //set bid amount
            string bidamount = "10dollars";

            //Check bidamount
            //call valid method
            if (valid(bidamount))
                Console.WriteLine("Bid amount is acceptable.");
            else
                Console.WriteLine("Bid amount is not in acceptable format.");
      
            Console.ReadKey();

        }

        //Overload method that takes an integer value
        public static bool valid(int bidamount)
        {
            if (bidamount > 10)
                return false;
            else
                return true;
        }

        //Overload method that takes an double value
        public static bool valid(double bidamount)
        {
            if (bidamount > 10)
                return false;
            else
                return true;
        }

        //Overload method that takes string value and check of valid format
        //If format is valid then returns true otherwise returns false
        public static bool valid(string bidamount)
        {

            if (bidamount[0] == '$' && Convert.ToInt32(bidamount.Substring(1)) >= 10)
                return true;
            else if ((Convert.ToInt32(bidamount.Substring(0,2))>=10)
                &&(bidamount.Substring(2).Equals("dollars")))
                return true;
            else
                return false;
        }//end of valid

    }//end of main
}
