Hello,
How do I go to that function? contains(); does not work. How do I get to it then?

bool contains(string s1, string s2) {  char [] a1 = s1.ToCharArray();  char [] a2 = s2.ToCharArray();  Array.Sort(a1);  Array.Sort(a2);  s1 = new string(a1);  s2 = new string(a2);  while (s2 != "") {    int position = s1.IndexOf(s2[0]);    if (position == -1) return false;    s1 = s1.Remove(0, position + 1);    s2 = s2.Remove(0, 1);  }  return true;}int main(){    std::string one = "one";    std::string two = "two";    if (contains(one, two))        std::cout << "it''s in there\n";    else        std::cout << "it''s not in there\n";}

What is the point of sorting? Just count the instances of each letter in WordMadeOutOfMainWord and make sure there are the same number in MainWord.

How does it? I am trying to access the code from a picturebox click. But how do I goto that function?

this is how you call one function from another

The sorting allows for short-circuiting when searching for each individual letter in the second word. By always removing from the front part of each string, the intermediate values are easier to follow in a debugger. Also, the algorithm chosen was one that was expressible in a minimal number of control constructs. Basically, it''s code that tries to be easy to write correctly the first time and easy to debug if it does go wrong.
