C# equivalent to Java's scn.nextInt( )

Question

In Java, if we want to read an user input from the console, we can do the following.

Scanner scn = new Scanner (System.in);
int x;

x = scn.nextInt();  //Receive         


        

Answer 1

Yes, you need to use ReadLine, parsing the input is not so hard.Just use TryParse method:

int input;
bool isValid = int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(),out input);

if(isValid)
{
   ...
}

Console.Read reads the next character from console, and it returns the ASCII code of the char, that's why you are getting 55 instead of 7.
