Lesson Overview

Welcome to another exciting C# lesson! Today, we're going to dive into the practical application of C# strings while addressing real-world problems concerning text data. Imagine you're building a web scraper that gathers news articles from various sources. Alternatively, you might be developing a text-based algorithm to analyze user reviews for a website. In both cases, you'll likely work with strings and need to analyze and manipulate them. That's why today, we'll focus on how to loop over strings and perform operations on each character within a string using C#.

Our goal for this lesson is to learn about looping concepts in C#, with a specific focus on strings. We'll dive deep into string indexing techniques and gain experience performing character operations using C#'s built-in methods. Plus, we'll explore how to handle exceptions while performing these operations.

Looping Over Strings

In C#, a string is a sequence of characters. When scraping a website, you might receive all the text as a single string. Since strings are essentially character arrays, C# allows us to loop through them using a for loop. Here's an example:

This for loop will print each character of the string on a new line, which proves beneficial when you need to locate specific characters or words on a web page.
