    small help with this C# program

    Hello, I need help with this program. When the user types in All, I want the sum of the information i have loaded in array 4 to display. However, its not doing this. Any input would be great! Thank you!

    Code:

            }
        }
    }
    You're always going to show the last city because your variable "foundPosition" is being reset to cityName.Length-1 each time you execute the first loop. Your 2nd loop is not taking your "All" condition into account, you're always looping over all 4 cities in the loop variant but on your output line you're always referencing "foundPosition", so you're going to always get 4 lines of the last city in the list.

    You need to add a little bit of intelligence that will inform your 2nd loop that all cities were selected and that they should all be output.

    Looks like you're doing this as a class assignment. Let me know if anything I said above is unclear and I'll try to help you some more.
