Hey there, i have these two lists. They are parameter from the same windows.
I want to make a little math. the math depends on the Orient parameter. So for example, all that have south west, gets * 0.8
How do map this in the most effecient way?
Put your 8 Orientation strings into a Dictionary with the corresponding calculation factors. Read the Area and orientation, ask Dictionary for the factor, multiply area.

And if you just need to define the factor for 1 direction, use the if condition like this
