Console key example

[Guest]

Does anyone have a simple example on how to use the Console.Key() function?
I’m just trying to read in 5 numbers.
Something like this.

String Key ConsoleKeyInfo();
Int Number =0;
For (int I =0; I<=5; I++)
{ Key = Console.Key();
Number = Number & Convert.ToInt32(Key);
}

Does anyone have a simple example on how to use the Console.Key()
function?
I’m just trying to read in 5 numbers.
Something like this.

String Key ConsoleKeyInfo();
Int Number =0;
For (int I =0; I<=5; I++)
{ Key = Console.Key();
Number = Number & Convert.ToInt32(Key);
}

Well, it would help if it was actually C# code. ConsoleKeyInfo is not a
funciton, it is a type:
ConsoleKeyInfo Key;

At the end of the function, you'll wind up with Number equalling the value 0
(because you assigned it 0 at the start and are doing bitwise &. 0 &
number = 0).
What you probably want to do is something like:
List<int> Numbers = new List<int>();
.... in the loop:
Numbers.Add(readValue);

There is no function called Key() in the Console class you are probably
looking for ReadKey.

Convert.ToInt32 won't do what you're expecting with the ConsoleKeyInfo
class....

ReadKey reads one key at a time...what if I wanted to input a multidigit
number (like "12")?
