My actual input doesn't reflect on the Console

Question

Console.WriteLine("Type your three digit number here : ");

int a = Convert.ToInt32(Console.Read());
int b = Convert.ToInt32(Console.Read());
int c = Convert.ToInt32(Console.Read());

int inputValue = (100*a + 10*b + c);

if (a*a*a + b*b*b + c*c*c == inputValue)
{
Console.WriteLine("Your three digit number is {0}Yes", inputValue);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Your three digit number is {0} No", inputValue);

My question is. if I input 371, it shows that my input was 5255. why does this happen here only? In visual studio, it works just fine. somebody help.

Answer 1

This is a noob-ish code I made for 3digit Armstrong number. My problem is, I can't make any other way to separate the digits and use those separated digits. Also I cant use loops. I mean I understand those loops and what they do. but I don't get how they do it. so I cant use them.
