I am trying to use an if statement to display the ratings of provided movies with one star * to five stars *****. I have the code running but I cannot figure out how to make it work with an if statement. Also needs to make the user try again if they do not enter strictly *, **, ***, ****, or ***** for the rating. No stars or anything more than 5 or the program will ask the same question, inform the user to only use 1-5 stars, and to try again without crashing.

This first picture is just the explanation.

This second picture is just more explanation.

I will attach a copy of my code below.

using System; using System.Collections.Generic;// for our movie lists using System.IO; // used for File.ReadAllText using System.Text.Json;// used for Json

namespace ConsoleApp4 { class Program {

static void Main(string[] args) { MultipleJson(); SingleJson(); }

static void MultipleJson() { // open a bunch of JSON files and save to a list

string jsonDirectory = "JSON-Movies"; // the JSON folder in the same folder as the EXE

string[] jsonFiles = Directory.GetFiles(jsonDirectory);

// initializing variables for the loop /// list of a bunch of "Movie" objects, to be pulled from the jsonFiles array List movieList = new List { };

// placeholder movie object Movie oneMovie = new Movie();

string jsonData = ""; // placeholder for the raw JSON data read from the file

// copying all the JSON data into the list of objects // one JSON file per element in the list foreach (var jsonFile in jsonFiles) { try { jsonData = File.ReadAllText(jsonFile); // extracts all the raw text from the JSON file (all of the lines) and saves it into a string

oneMovie = JsonSerializer.Deserialize(jsonData); // converting the raw JSON string into a Movie object

movieList.Add(oneMovie); // adding the oneCar object to the list of Movies } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine("Erron: invalid JSON file (" + jsonFile + ")"); }

} // EX: printing out all of the movies in the list Console.WriteLine("You have these movies:"); Console.WriteLine(); foreach (var aMovie in movieList) { Console.WriteLine(aMovie.title + " " + aMovie.year + " "); } Console.WriteLine("Please use '*'(s) to rate the movies one at a time: ");// These WriteLine's are being used to explain the directions to the user Console.WriteLine("Using one star rating (*), to five stars rating (*****).

Console assignment 4: No valid files found in the JSON folder An invalid file could not be deserialized into an object o output the name of the invalid file to the console skip that file and continue The user enters something other than *, **, *******, or for a rating o hint: use an if statement o repeat until the user types in a valid entry Attempted to write to a JSON file and failed o output the id of the object that failed to the console o skip that file and continue For each exception or condition, output a custom error message to the console. The standard catch (Exception ex) { } clause is allowed for all exceptions. Multiple or specialized catch clauses are not required. Create a C# Console .NET project using Visual Studio 2019 that opens a folder of movie data saved as JSON files and edits the data. You program will deserialize the JSON files as objects, save them into an array/list of objects, prompt the user to update a property, then serialize that updated data and save it back into the JSON files. Note: Be sure to select "Console App (.NET Core) [C#]" as your project template. "Console App (.NET Framework) [C#]" does not allow JSON file processing. Click here to download a list of JSON files with movie data. You are free to add additional JSON files to this list or take some away. Use a minimum of four files for testing. The JSON is formatted with the following fields (all strings): id: IMDb movie ID title: the movie's title year: the release year runtime: how long the movie is, in minutes genre: what kind of story it is rating: scale from * (one star) to ***** (five stars) how well you personally like the movie, blank for all movies When your program runs, automatically get the names of the JSON files in a folder, deserialize their contents into objects of a custom class, and save them into an array/list, as shown in Console Lecture 4-2 video. Next, display the title and year of each movie to the console, one at at time, and ask the user to enter their rating from * (one star) to ***** (five stars). Save that input into the rating property of the object. Repeat for each file in the array/list. Finally, save the updated movie data to the original JSON files (serialize). The JSON files should be updated with the correct data (don't mix them up). Use one custom class that corresponds 1:1 with the JSON file format.
