Ok I am taking C# in college and am stuck on this arry problem here is my code so far

using System;
namespace Project6Chap7
{
    class Arrays
    {
        static void Main( )
        {
            int[] aNum = new int[1000];
            int[] i = new int[1000];
            string inValue;

            int aNumCount = 0;
            int total = 0;
            Console.Write("Enter a number 1 to 100: "
                        + "(or -99 to exit)", aNumCount + 1);
            inValue = Console.ReadLine();

            while(inValue != "-99")
            {
                aNum[aNumCount] = Convert.ToInt32(inValue);
                ++aNumCount;
                Console.WriteLine("Enter a number 1 to 100: "
                           + "(or -99 to exit)", aNumCount + 1);
                inValue = Console.ReadLine( );
            }

            foreach (int val in aNum)
            {
                total += val;
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Total: " + total);


            
            Console.WriteLine("The first value entered was: " + i);


                   
        }
    }
}

it runs fine so far but my question is how do I call the first number entered. I have tried several different ways but I either get -1 or ToInt32
Please help me

Try this line...

Console.WriteLine("The first value entered was: " + aNum[0].ToString());

Here we are saying "get the first value from the array of integers named aNum". You stored the first entry typed in aNum[0] when you went through the first time in your while loop. aNumCount was zero on that first time through.

What he said, the only thing that you need to remember (and it messed me up a few times!) is that arrays start their counting at '0' There was a situation where I spent more time than I care to admit trying to solve that problem, and I will never ever ever forget again
