How do I receive and store data input in C#?

Question

Basically I'm still in the starting phase, and I know how to use Console.WriteLine, but I have no idea on how to have it read input from the user.

For example, I'd want a user to be able to type in a pair of numbers, then return the result.

My goal is a program that receives input , then combines them and returns the average.

This is all in Visual C# Express 2008

Answer 1

string input = Console.ReadLine();

that will return you a string of the user's input. Check out MSDN for documentation on the Console class. Also look at the Convert class.

int num = Convert.ToInt32(input);

Good luck new coder.
