Can't get the value of two numbers in C# to add after -

so i'm trying ask 2 numbers use after add later , call them console.write(), doesn't seem work.

first created 3 intengers, int num1 = 0; int num2 = 0; int num3 = 0;

and did this:

                console.writeline("what's first number?");                 num1 = console.read();                 console.writeline("what's second number?");                 num2 = console.read();                 num3 = num1 + num2;                 console.writeline(num3); 

and reason not working, giving me value of 60+ without me typing second number.

any appreciated , in advance.

console.read() returns character value, not number entered. plus, returns first character typed in. should using console.readline() instead.

you can try following:

console.writeline("what's first number?"); int num1 = convert.toint32(console.readline()); console.writeline("what's second number?"); int num2 = convert.toint32(console.readline()); int num3 = num1 + num2; console.writeline(num3); 

console.readline() returns string you'll need convert value int.

hope helps!
