Char Increment Autogenerate Max Value
Tuesday, December 8, 2020 Category : C-sharp.NET 0
This method take a string as input and it sequentially increment like excel header
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(GetMax("BAA"));
Console.ReadLine();
}
private static string GetMax(string maxvalue)
{
int minAsci = 65;
int maxAsci = 90;
int len = maxvalue.Length;
int[] charAscii = new int[len];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
charAscii[i] = (int) maxvalue[i];
}
bool needChangePrevious = false;
for (int i = len; i > 0; i--)
{
if (i == len)
{
if (charAscii[i-1] < maxAsci)
{
charAscii[i-1]++;
}
else
{
charAscii[i-1] = minAsci;
needChangePrevious = true;
}
}
else
{
if (needChangePrevious)
{
if (charAscii[i-1] < maxAsci)
{
charAscii[i-1]++;
needChangePrevious = false;
}
else
{
charAscii[i-1] = minAsci;
needChangePrevious = true;
}
}
}
}
string newMax = "";
if (maxvalue == "")
{
newMax = "A";
}
else if (needChangePrevious == false)
{
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
newMax += (char)charAscii[i] ;
}
}
else if (needChangePrevious == true)
{
newMax = "A";
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
newMax += (char)charAscii[i];
}
}
return newMax;
}
}
