Chapter 4 Excercise 2

[email protected] · July 22nd, 2010, 05:21 PM

I don't get how by only using logic from Exercise 1 allows you to do this problem. I've tried if statements, but it gives me an error when I run the program. My problem is that I don't know what to put in the brackets to get it to return to the user input if the number input is greater than 10?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace summaryexample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

Console.WriteLine("Enter a number:");
int myInt = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

Console.WriteLine("Enter another number:");
int myInt2 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
if (myInt < 10 && myInt2 < 10)
Console.WriteLine("{0} and {1} are less than 10", myInt, myInt2);
else
{

}

Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

Hi there,

It would help if you a) better explained what it is you're trying to accomplish and b) post the actual error messages you're getting.

Most of the visitors to this forum don't have this book, which makes it difficult to see what you're working on. Posting a more detailed question surely helps in getting a better answer.

Cheers,

I actually fixed the if statement in the code, so that is no longer a problem. The problem I am actually having is that I am uncertain as to what to put after the else statement that will return to the initial section, which asks the user for the numbers.

What the program is supposed to do is ask the user for a number, then after that number is entered it asks the user for another number. The program receives the numbers and if both numbers are less than 10, it outputs the message "number" and "number" are less than 10. That part works fine, the problem is if the numbers are more than 10. If the numbers entered are more than 10, the program is supposed to ask for two new numbers. However, I am uncertain what to put in the else statement to have the program loop to the beginning if the numbers are more than 10.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace summaryexample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

Console.WriteLine("Enter a number:");
int myInt = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

Console.WriteLine("Enter another number:");
int myInt2 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
if (myInt < 10 && myInt2 < 10)
Console.WriteLine("{0} and {1} are less than 10", myInt, myInt2);
else
{
<----I need to know what I should put here to get the program to return and ask for new numbers.
}

Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

Rather than using an if, I think what you're looking for is a while or a do while loop that loops as long both numbers are greater than or equal to 10.

For a simple example, check: http://www.softsteel.co.uk/tutorials...p/lesson9.html

If you want the complete solution, let me know,. Haven't posted it yet as I think figuring it out yourself is way more fun.

Cheers,

i match the same trouble, the following is my troubleshoot: i add a goto Label:again.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace summaryexample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
again:
Console.WriteLine("Enter a number:");
int myInt = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

Console.WriteLine("Enter another number:");
int myInt2 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
if (myInt < 10 && myInt2 < 10)
Console.WriteLine("{0} and {1} are less than 10", myInt, myInt2);
else
{
goto again;
}

Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}[/QUOTE]

'goto' is a Curse!

dont use goto even if your neck is under the guillotine!

you can use this statements

Code:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
     do{
           Console.WriteLine("Enter a number:");
           int myInt = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

           Console.WriteLine("Enter another number:");
           int myInt2 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
           if (myInt < 10 && myInt2 < 10)
           {
                 Console.WriteLine("{0} and {1} are less than 10", myInt, myInt2);
           
                  break;
            }
      }while(1);
      Console.ReadKey();
}

click Thanks button if it helps

yes, you give me alert! 3Q~~~~but do{} while(1); press F6 it generate a Error:Constant value '1' cannot be converted to a 'bool', maybe vs C# can't
agree with this syntax, so i stand on the shoulders of giants make a little modify : you can declaration a bool "type=true", do {} while(type); when you have a better idea, Pls push it to me !
