I have this problem with this peice of code. If I type 5 shouldn't 5 be displayed on the console window? When I type 5 I get back 53.


using System;

class ReadNumberFromConsole
{
  static void Main()
  {
    
    Int32 I;
    Console.Write("Enter a number: ");
    I = Console.Read();
    Console.WriteLine(I);
  }
}

You're storing the integer value of the character '5' (which is 53), not the integer value 5. To do that, try this:

    public static void Main(string[] args)    {      Int32 i;      Console.WriteLine("Enter a number:");      try      {        i = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());      }      catch (OverflowException e)      {        Console.WriteLine("The value read was unable to fit in an Int32.");      }      catch (FormatException e)      {        Console.WriteLine("The value read was not an integer.");      }      Console.WriteLine("The value retrieved was {0}.", i);    }

HTH,
