Yes, I realised that after I saw solution 4. And thank you for your helpful insight, tips like this really do help me become a better developer. At the time I was trying different things and TryGetValue wasn't liked by the compiler for some reason (when I was trying it) i was probably using it incorrectly. I am still not the best at using linq but it is very very useful in .NET from my uses of it so far. Again your input is greatly appreciated, have a great day!

see Solution 4, thanks for your reply!

See solution 4, thank you for your answer, really appreciate your time!

I believe the lookup would work better the way i did it if i wasn't inside of a loop, however since I am looping for each item, a tryget is much more efficient. The issue was that earlier I was using a keyValuePair, and not a dictionary and the compiler wasn't accepting "TryGetValue" but now it was working as i made a few tweaks using your solution.
Thanks again!

Although your solution didnt work for me, I want to thank you for your time and help :) I learned something from your implementation as well! See solution 4 for what worked for me.
Thanks

Thank you!! TryGetValue is definitely more efficient.
Since I have to output in a specific way to pass the test cases, this ended up working for me:

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
int val;
Word1 = Console.ReadLine();
if(list.TryGetValue(Word1, out val))
{
Console.WriteLine(Word1 + "=" + val);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Not found");
}
}

Basically, you have to write code based on certain inputs and expected outputs. The problem is that some of the test cases are huge with 100's of inputs. Therefore even though some of the test cases pass, not all can because in the larger test cases the timeout occurs

I didnt necessarily ask anyone to improve or rewrite the code, I had only asked in this case where could the inefficiency be in the way I had written it but I see what you mean. I value the time of the community and therefore didn't ask for much.

Also, for the second for loop I tried using a while loop as follows
while((Word1 = Console.ReadLine())!= null)
{
.....
}
I am still getting the same result (TimeOut occurs). For now I've moved onto the next challenge. If i don't get any other solutions within the next day I will accept your solution

yes the getwordunermouse was my own function which uses getcharindexfromposition

Member 11169882 11-Sep-15 11:19am View

Okay, that sounds like a plan. Ill accept you solution! :D thanks

Thanks for your comment sir, indeed, the hardest part is getting the word under the mouse for which I had developed a special function that worked with RichTextBoxes, I would pass in my richTextBoxControl as sender, and then pass in the point (as drawing point) which I had obtained using PointtoClient.

Here is some code exerpt for demonstration: the

If CType(sender, STCRichTextBox).Name = "StcRichTextBoxEnglish" Then
'ToolTip1.RemoveAll()
Dim point As New Point(StcRichTextBoxEnglish.PointToClient(Cursor.Position).X, StcRichTextBoxEnglish.PointToClient(Cursor.Position).Y)
curWord = StcRichTextBoxEnglish.GetWordUnderMouse(CType(sender, System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox), point)
ElseIf CType(sender, STCRichTextBox).Name = "StcRichTextBoxFrench" Then
'ToolTip1.RemoveAll()
Dim point As New Point(StcRichTextBoxFrench.PointToClient(Cursor.Position).X, StcRichTextBoxFrench.PointToClient(Cursor.Position).Y)
curWord = StcRichTextBoxFrench.GetWordUnderMouse(CType(sender, System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox), point)
End If

Im wondering that if something similar is possible with a cell, then I might end up giving it a shot. So far I have been out of luck.

If you have some insigths regarding this, do let me know. For now I will see how far I get lol!

Again, really appreciate your comment and help. Cheers
