Hi,

    I am learning VB 2005. I started with a basic console application for calculating square root of a number. The code is as below:

******************
Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim y As Integer
        Console.WriteLine("Enter number !")
        y = Console.Read()
        MsgBox("Square root of " & y & " is " & System.Math.Sqrt(y))
    End Sub

End Module
*******************

The above is not reading the value of y properly. If I enter '1', it reads it as '48' and gives result accordingly. If I enter '2', it reads it as '49'.

Is there any setting required to be done ?

Thanks.

Try this :

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim y As Integer
        Console.Write("Enter number !")
        y = Console.ReadLine()
        MsgBox("Square root of " & y & " is " & System.Math.Sqrt(y))
    End Sub

End Module

Thanks. It worked.
