c#console.readline

Reading three inputs from the user using Console.ReadLine()


Is this the correct way to do it, since I'm new to C#

Console.WriteLine("please enter m,y,n: \n");
double month, year, numberOfMonths = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());

Solution

  • You can do it by asking user to enter the values split-ed by some delimiter like space, semi colon etc. And then split the value and parse accordingly. for example

    string input = Console.ReadLine();
    string[] split = input.Split(',');
    double month = Double.Parse(split[0]);
    double year = Double.Parse(split[1]);
    double numberofmonth = Double.Parse(split[2]);
    

    Ofcourse the above code is not the most elegant/efficient/error free code. But, it is just written to get the idea across.
