Hi,

How would I set the width of lnSize to 6 in the statement

Console.WriteLine("Size of {0} ", lnSize);

Furthermore is there a way to combine these 3 statements into 1

Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine();

TIA
Roy
 
The \n escape character denotes a new line when in a string... so if you
replaced your 3 Console.WriteLine() calls with a single
Console.Write("\n\n\n") or even just Console.WriteLine("\n\n") you will end
up with the same output.

As for specifying the width of lnSize... in what way? The # of characters
being displayed when it is output?

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for the Console.WriteLine("\n\n\n").

I solved the width problem by doing this:
Console.WriteLine("Size of {0,6} ", lnSize);

Not quite. Console.WriteLine uses the current line terminator, as
specified by Environment.NewLine. On Windows, that's "\r\n".
