Practical One, Task Four

Getting to grips with variables

Now its time to test your knowledge.

Step One

Create a new project as shown in Task One
Create three int variables, and call them width, height and area
Use Console.ReadLine(); to initialise the height and width variables

You may notice this gives an error,

You need to convert the Console.ReadLine(); to an integer.
To do this, use the Convert.ToInt32(); method:

int width = Convert.ToInt32( Console.ReadLine() );

Do the same for height
Find the area of the shape by multiplying the two variables
Finally, print out the area using:

Console.WriteLine(area);
