Convert

Question

I wish tom Convert character read in Console to int.

Answer 1

You can use Int32 Parse method, or TryParse. The first will throw exception if it is not a number that can be parsed to int.

You can also take a look at the Convert class, it also has methods to convert between different types.

Answer 2

First read the character as Console.Read() function. This will return you the character. Then cast the character to int. You will get ascii value of that character. You can also use ReadKey method. I have shown both examples below.

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    //First Method
    int character1 = Console.Read();
    Console.WriteLine(character1);    

    //Second Method
    int character2 = Console.ReadKey().KeyChar;
    Console.WriteLine(character2);
    Console.ReadLine();
}

I hope this helps.
