Clash Royale CLAN TAG

How can i use ' ++ i ' inside this situation?

I want to draw a random name for an event where users can win items specified by their ID (1,2,3 etc.). The random name part is ok by now but how can i display the result like:
The ID : 1 winner is: 'the random name'
The ID : 2 winner is: 'the random name'
etc...
till ID : 27

static void Main(string args)
{
string Names = { "Erik", "Levente", "Noel", "Áron", "Krisztián", "Kristóf", "Bence", "Roland", "Máté", "László", "Bálint" ,
"Regina", "Brigitta", "Gréta", "Hédi", "Hanna", "Boglárka", "Jázmin", "Réka", "Alexandra", "Rebeka", "Lili", "Luca", "Zsófi"};



List<string> alreadyUsed = new List<string>();
Random r = new Random();
while (alreadyUsed.Count < Names.Length)
{
int index = r.Next(0, Names.Length);
if (!alreadyUsed.Contains(Names[index]))
{
alreadyUsed.Add(Names[index]);

Console.WriteLine("The ID : 1 winner is: " + Names[index]);


}
}


Console.ReadKey(true);
}


++i

i

The ID : 1 winner is

Here is a refactored appraoch without that bad performing alreadyUsed. First I randomize the array, second I iterate and display each item with a incrementing index / id.

alreadyUsed

string Names = { "Erik", "Levente", "Noel", "Áron", "Krisztián", "Kristóf", "Bence", "Roland", "Máté", "László", "Bálint" , "Regina", "Brigitta", "Gréta", "Hédi", "Hanna", "Boglárka", "Jázmin", "Réka", "Alexandra", "Rebeka", "Lili", "Luca", "Zsófi"};
Random r = new Random();
Names = Names.OrderBy(_ => r.Next()).ToArray();
for(int i=0;i< Names.Length;i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("The ID : " + (i+1) + " winner is: " + Names[i]);
}


while (alreadyUsed.Count < Names.Length)
{
int index = r.Next(0, Names.Length);
if (!alreadyUsed.Contains(Names[index]))
{
alreadyUsed.Add(Names[index]);

Console.WriteLine("The ID : " + alreadyUsed.Count + " winner is: " + Names[index]);
}
}


You do not need ++i, you already have the position contained in alreadyUsed.Count that will increment itself as you use alreadyUsed.Add(...).

++i

alreadyUsed.Count

alreadyUsed.Add(...)
