c# beginner help

[Zvjezdan23]

I am trying to make a simple calculator for my code and I wanted to know, how can I have the user input a number like c++ cin >> number; and then just have my math functions do the rest. I have this so far...

public static void Main()
        {
            int x, y, result;
            float floatresult;

            int x = Console.ReadLine();
            result = x + y;
            Console.WriteLine("x + y : {0}", result);

        }

The int x = Console.ReadLine() is red. Can anyone help me out???

Input from the console is a string, so you'll have to accept it as one and then convert it.

int x;
String input = Console.ReadLine();
if (Int32.TryParse(input, out x)) {
    // x can be converted to a number, do whatever you need to do here
} else {
    // x can't be converted to a number
}

int x, y, result;

        Console.WriteLine("Enter x: ");
        x = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

        Console.WriteLine("Enter y : ");
        y = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

        result = x + y;

        Console.WriteLine("{0} + {1} = {2}", x, y, result);
        Console.ReadLine();

mark as solved, if this satisfies your requirement.

Thank You for helping me. This is my finished code. What do you think????

using System;

class program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        int x, y, result;
        float floatresult;
        Console.Write("What is the X Value? "); 
        String xnumberinput = Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine(" ");
        Console.Write("What is the Y Value? ");
        String ynumberinput = Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine(" ");
        if (Int32.TryParse(xnumberinput, out x) && Int32.TryParse(ynumberinput, out y))
        {
            result = x + y;
            Console.WriteLine("x + y : {0}", result);
            Console.WriteLine(" ");
            result = x - y;
            Console.WriteLine("x - y : {0}", result);
            Console.WriteLine(" ");
            result = x * y;
            Console.WriteLine("x * y : {0}", result);
            Console.WriteLine(" ");
            result = x / y;
            Console.WriteLine("x / y : {0}", result);
            Console.WriteLine(" ");
            floatresult = (float)x / (float)y;
            Console.WriteLine("This uses x and y as floaters. x / y: {0}", floatresult);
            Console.WriteLine(" ");
            result = x % y;
            Console.WriteLine("x % y : {0}", result);
            Console.WriteLine(" ");
            result += x;
            Console.WriteLine("Result += x: {0}", result);
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Not Doable");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        Console.WriteLine(" ");
        Console.WriteLine("Press Enter To Exit The Program. ");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

@ arunkumars: will that work???

[majorawsome]

Did you Debug the program without any problems? If so than it worked! Congrats!
