Copying and Pasting cs Code

In cs, like in almost any computer programming language, reading data from a file can be tricky. You add extra lines of code to tell the computer what to do. Sometimes you can copy and paste these lines from other peoples’ code.

For example, you can follow the pattern in this listing:

  private int getInitialBlockNumber(int x, int y, int z) {

   if(this.options.board_type == "Solid Cube") {
    return -1;
   }

   if(this.options.board_type == "Hollow Cube") { //hollow cube
    if(x == 1 && y == 1 && z == 1) {
     return -2;
    }
    else {
     return -1;
    }
   }

   if(this.options.board_type == "Box Outline") { //box outline
    if(x == 1 && y == 1) {
     return -2;
    }
    if(x == 1 && z == 1) {
     return -2;
    }
    if(y ==1 && z == 1) {
     return -2;
    }
    else {
     return -1;
    }
   }

   if(this.options.board_type == "Four Walls") {
    if(x == 1 && z == 1) {
     return -2;
    }
    else {
     return -1;
    }
   }

   //default is no corners
   if(this.options.board_type == "No Corners/Center") {
    if(x==1 && y==1 && z==1) {
     return -2;
    }
    else if(x == 1 || y == 1 || z == 1) {
     return -1;
    }
    else {
     return -2;
    }
   }

   //default is no corners
   //if(this.options.board_type == "No Corners") {
    if(x == 1 || y == 1 || z == 1) {
     return -1;
    }
    else {
     return -2;
    }
   //}
