This code needs to be changed so that it accepts what the user enters as a low base and high base. At the moment it prints a multiplication table that starts at 1 and ends at 10, but what it actually really needs to do is print with the low base as the start and the high base as the end. Below is the troublesome code:



[code] Console.WriteLine("Please enter a low base:");
int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

Console.WriteLine("Please enter a high base:");
int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

for (int a = 1; a < 11; a++)
{
for (int b = 1; b < 11; b++)
{
// Write the multiplied number.
Console.Write((a * b).ToString("00 "));
}
// New line.
Console.WriteLine();
}
Console.ReadLine();

int.parse() returns a value. You're not storing that return value in a variable.

int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

needs to be:

int x = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
