Hello dear Community.

So basically I want to create a calculator (with + only).
I'm a beginner in programming and haven't worked so much with C# yet.

Here is the code.. (in Notepad++)

using System ;
namespace Add {
class Add {
static void Main (string[] args) {
int summand1 ;
int summand2 ;
int summe ;
summe = summand1 + summand2 ;
Console.WriteLine ("summand1: ") ;
summand1 = Convert.ToInt32 (Console.ReadLine () ) ;
Console.WriteLine ("summand2 ") ;
summand2 = Convert.ToInt32 (Console.ReadLine () ) ;
Console.WriteLine (summe) ;
}
}
}

What is wrong with it?
cmd.exe doesn't show me what I want.

It should normally show me

Summand1: *here I type the first integer*
Then Summand2: *here I type the second integer*
then == and after the result.
We actually made that in school but I can't properly remember how it worked..

Any help is much appreciated.
Summand = addend
Summe = sum

You have made sumation of command1 and command2 before you enter the values in them. Try to make sumation after you enter both values.

Console.WriteLine ("summand1: ") ;
summand1 = Convert.ToInt32 (Console.ReadLine () ) ;
Console.WriteLine ("summand2 ") ;
summand2 = Convert.ToInt32 (Console.ReadLine () ) ;
Console.WriteLine (summe) ;

summe = summand1 + summand2 ;
}
}
}

Like this?
I do not properly understand what you want to tell me.

I don't need any value, the values well be typed manually in cmd.exe and then it will tell me the result.

Edit: owwwwwww yeah, thank you.
But now I got 2 problems, why isn't it in the same line?

And why doesn't it give me the result?

The code is:

using System ;
namespace Add {
class Add {
static void Main (string[] args) {
int summand1 ;
int summand2 ;
int summe ;
 
Console.WriteLine ("summand1: ") ;
summand1 = Convert.ToInt32 (Console.ReadLine () ) ;
Console.WriteLine ("summand2: ") ;
summand2 = Convert.ToInt32 (Console.ReadLine () ) ;
summe = summand1 + summand2 ;
}
}
}

Also, why do I need to type "summe = summand1 + summand2" in the line after Console, Convert.. etc. and not before?
Sorry for the questions but I'm a beginner and do not really know this things (yet).

Yes this is what I am telling you. It doesn't matter where are you running your code it's still the same. This problem is only a logical thing. How can you calculate some result if you don't have any parameters to calculate? First you need to enter those values so you will be able to do calculations on them.

Sorry but I don't understand.
In school we didn't enter any value in the code, we simply left it blank (as u can see in my code . "summand1:*blank* ".
We entered values only in cmd.exe.. like in this pic: http://imgur.com/hyT45
The only difference was that the value we wrote in cmd.exe, was in the same line as summand1/2 and it showed the result.

Maybe I missunderstand your reply.. sorry if yes.

[Tonchi]

Yes you missunderstand me. I never tell you to enter values within your code. You are entering your values in CMD. Have you tried your new source code?

[Takashi]

Yeap, if you mean the last one I posted.

This comes:

Edit: Found out how the value I type in stays in the same line as summand1/2. But not how to get the result.

[Tonchi]

And where is your output line? You forget to use final WriteLine

[Takashi]

May you tell me what to write? It would be more easier for me to get everything if I see it.

[Tonchi]

Convert.ToString(Console.WriteLine(summe));

This is what you need at the end. Have you ever programmed before?

[Takashi]

Convert.ToString(Console.WriteLine(summe));

It's the first time I program something .

Is this right?

using System ;
namespace Add {
class Add {
static void Main (string[] args) {
int summand1 ;
int summand2 ;
int summe ;

Console.Write ("summand1: ") ;
summand1 = Convert.ToInt32 (Console.ReadLine () ) ;
Console.Write ("summand2: ") ;
summand2 = Convert.ToInt32 (Console.ReadLine () ) ;
Convert.ToString(Console.WriteLine(summe));
summe = summand1 + summand2 ;
}
}
}

[Tonchi]

No it's not. Switch:

Convert.ToString(Console.WriteLine(summe));

with:

summe = summand1 + summand2;

And start with some ebook. You can't learn how to program in way that people write simple code for you. Find some (anyone) ebook for begining and read it and practice it.
