It should be noted that an <code>Enumerable<\/code> is any class that can be enumerated, so this includes almost all collections like arrays and lists.<\/p>\n<p>Replace <code>string1,string2,...<\/code> with all of your string variable names. I&#8217;d also advise changing your report card class to have a <code>List&lt;string&gt;<\/code> of results (assuming all of your results are strings) rather than these fields. That way you could enumerate over it like a collection.<\/p>\n<p>See <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/dotnet\/api\/system.collections.generic.list-1?view=netcore-3.1\">List&lt;T&gt;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You also can&#8217;t have variable names that start with strings.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>If you absolutely HAVE to use ORs, you need to perform each comparison separately and then chain them together. The way you&#8217;ve done it essentially reads &#8220;if string1 or string2 or string3 or string4 equals &#8220;no&#8221;&#8221;. Which will evaluate as though you&#8217;re saying ((string1 or string2) or (string3 or string4)) equals &#8220;no&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, &#8220;apple or pair&#8221; isn&#8217;t a valid operation. So what you want is &#8220;string1 equals &#8220;no&#8221; or string2 equals &#8220;no&#8221; or string3 equals &#8220;no&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>To do this in C# you&#8217;d use something like:<\/p>\n<pre><code>if (string1 == \"No\" ||\n    string2 == \"No\" ||\n    stringN == \"No\" ||)\n{\n   DoStuff();\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>I&#8217;d strongly advise against using this approach though as it&#8217;s poor practice. Even if it&#8217;s beyond the scope of your assignment, read up on the links I&#8217;ve posted and try and implement it in a more robust fashion. If this is a school assignment, most teachers will be happy to see a &#8220;better&#8221; solution than the one they&#8217;re looking for.
