look i'm doing a calculator in c# console application but it wont work..
it wont get the parameter (+, -, x, / [ x is equal to * i don't know if i will change..])

heres the code...:

[IT IS NOT DONE YET!]
{AFTER I KNOW HOW TO GET the parameters i will know how to get words and i will ad commands}-i think..

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

public class Addition
{
	public static void Main(string[] args)
	{
		int number1;
		int number2;
		int sum;
		char selection;

		Console.WriteLine("Wellcome to our 1st program! (this is a calculator XD)");

		Console.WriteLine("Please Enter a Number or one of these commands:");
		number1 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
		Console.WriteLine("You're Numer is: {0}", number1);
		selection = Convert.ToChar(Console.ReadLine());
		Console.WriteLine("Youre Selection var is: {0}", selection);

		if ("selection" == "+")
		{
			int math1 = 1;
			Console.WriteLine("You're Current Number and parameter are: {0} {1}", number1, math1);
		}
		if ("selection" == "-")
		{
			int math1 = 2;
			Console.WriteLine("You're Current Number and parameter are: {0} {1}", number1, math1);
		}
		if ("selection" == "x")
		{
			int math1 = 3;
			Console.WriteLine("You're Current Number and parameter are: {0} {1}", number1, math1);
		}
		if ("selection" == "/")
		{
			int math1 = 4;
			Console.WriteLine("You're Current Number and parameter are: {0} {1}", number1, math1);
		}
		if ("selection" != "+")
		{
			if ("selection" != "-")
			{
				if ("selection" != "x")
				{
					if ("selection" != "/")
					{
						Console.WriteLine("Syntax ERROR!, You're parameter must be +, x, - or /");
						Console.WriteLine("Please try again..");
						Console.WriteLine("You're Number is still {0} to remove it write command CE", number1);
						selection = Convert.ToChar(Console.ReadLine());
						if ("selection" == "+")
						{
							int math1 = 1;
							Console.WriteLine("You're Current Number and parameter are: {0} {1}", number1, math1);
						}
						if ("selection" == "-")
						{
							int math1 = 2;
							Console.WriteLine("You're Current Number and parameter are: {0} {1}", number1, math1);
						}
						if ("selection" == "x")
						{
							int math1 = 3;
							Console.WriteLine("You're Current Number and parameter are: {0} {1}", number1, math1);
						}
						if ("selection" == "/")
						{
							int math1 = 4;
							Console.WriteLine("You're Current Number and parameter are: {0} {1}", number1, math1);
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
		Console.WriteLine("Enter Your Second Number For Addition Please: ");
		number2 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
		Console.WriteLine("The second number is: {0}", number2);
		if ("math1" == "1")
		{
			int ans3;
			ans3 = number1 + number2;
			Console.WriteLine("^Calc	  {0} + {1} = {2}", number1, number2, ans3);
		}
		if ("math1" == "2")
		{
			int ans3;
			ans3 = number1 - number2;
			Console.WriteLine("^Calc	  {0} - {1} = {2}", number1, number2, ans3);
		}
		if ("math1" == "3")
		{
			int ans3;
			ans3 = number1 * number2;
			Console.WriteLine("^Calc	  {0} * {1} = {2}", number1, number2, ans3);
		}
		if ("math1" == "4")
		{

			Console.WriteLine("^Calc	  {0} / {1} = {2}", number1, number2, ans3);
		}
		Console.Read();
	}
}

early thanks...
and if you won't understand ask me what i meant

what is your problem i mean the Error.

You put quotes on the char variable Selection
get rid of the quotes, might hep

And Single Quotes on the Characters

Try this

[source144]

man you are great!! thanks, but now i need to add the commands like: C, CE, S, L, Q
C = Clear
CE = clear all
S = Save answer
L = load answer..
Q = Quit

now it works..

but i have a few questions,
how do i make a loop, if you write 'o' that doesn't do nothing in my calculator then it will say error but the how can i loop??

and how can i check if you said number if not it will be error and ask you to say a number again

[zombie_chan51]

do you mean something like this

if (command == "o")
		{
			while(true)
			{
				Console.WriteLine("ERROR");
			}
		}
		else
		{

		}

i mean if you didn't write a number (you wrote something else)
so it will say "error, you must write a number" and then it will come back to the stage that you need to write the number instead of making a bug in the whole program and then continue...
and instead of making the same thing for alot of time can i do a loop on the program?? (without the start text)..?
and how do i "quit" ( a command the gets out of this console app..0

I think it would be better if you use switch cases

How do I convert the .cs (c# project into a exe??)
into a .exe

you press F5 or go in the menu Debug-> Start debugging after that you go where your project is saved and in the bin folder and then in the debug folder you will have the .exe you want

note whether you are in DEBUG or RELEASE mode.

Ctrl + SHIFT + B

after it has completed building, navigate to the solution directory --> project directory --> Debug/Release(depending on the mode you were in) --> bin -->

you will then see your .exe.
