C# Quine Problem

问题:

I am trying to understand how this piece of self-replicating code works (found here), but the problem is I can't get it to run as-is:

class c {
    static void Main(){

        string s = "class c{{static void Main(){{string s={0}{10};System.Console.Write(s,(char)34,s);}}}}";

        System.Console.Write(s,(char)34,s); //<<-- exception on this line

    }
}

It's throwing an exception on writeline: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.

Can someone help - in particular about the formatting option {0}{10}?

I got it working like this (see below) but it's longer than the original - I am curious how the original could have worked as-is in the 1st place:

class c {
    static void Main(){

        string s = "class c{{static void Main(){{string s={0}{1}{2};System.Console.Write(s,(char)34,s,(char)34);}}}}";

        System.Console.Write(s,(char)34,s,(char)34);
    }
}

回答1:

I think there is a pair of braces missing - instead of {10} it should read {1}{0}.

class c {
    static void Main(){

        string s = "class c{{static void Main(){{string s={0}{1}{0};System.Console.Write(s,(char)34,s);}}}}";

        System.Console.Write(s,(char)34,s); //<<-- exception on this line

    }
}


回答2:

Could the original work with?

s={0}{1}{0}


回答3:

I believe that the original was supposed to look like this:

class c {
  static void Main() {
    string s = "class c{{static void Main(){{string s={0}{1}{0};System.Console.Write(s,(char)34,s);}}}}";
    System.Console.Write(s, (char)34, s);
  }
}

I.e. the {0}{10} should just be changed to {0}{1}{0}.

The {0} in the format string is used to put the quotation marks before and after the string.
