Answer 1

As we've understood you need you need to check if the input string is in some array. To do it

just use Contains() method without any loop:




//assume that arr is your initial array

bool cardNumberExists = arr.Contains(c);




Don't forget to add &quot;using System.Linq;&quot; derective as Contains s the extention method for IEnumerable type
