VB.NET || How To Replace A Letter With Its Alphabet Position Using VB.NET

November 30, 2020 admin No comments

The following is a module with functions which demonstrates how to replace a letter with its alphabet position using VB.NET.

1. Replace With Alphabet Position

The example below demonstrates the use of ‘Utils.GetAlphabetPosition‘ to replace a letter with its alphabet position.





		
		
			1. Replace With Alphabet Position
			
Visual Basic .NET
			
			' Replace With Alphabet Position

' Get alphabet position
Dim result = Utils.GetAlphabetPosition("The sunset sets at twelve o' clock.")

' Display the results
Debug.Print(String.Join(" ", result))

' expected output:
'    20 8 5 19 21 14 19 5 20 19 5 20 19 1 20 20 23 5 12 22 5 15 3 12 15 3 11

' Display the results
Debug.Print(String.Join(" ", result))
 
' expected output:
'    20 8 5 19 21 14 19 5 20 19 5 20 19 1 20 20 23 5 12 22 5 15 3 12 15 3 11

2. Utils Namespace

The following is the Utils Namespace. Include this in your project to start using!
