How do I convert string to int?

Question

This is my code:
int number = Console.ReadLine();
if (number == 1) {
Console.WriteLine("Good");
}
But I have an error: cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'int'
I do not know what to do. Please help.

Answer 1

Console inputs in c# are always string.
Try using Convert.toInt32(Console.ReadLine() ) ;
This will convert the input string to int.
Likewise you need to convert your console inputs to required datatypes as it will always be string

Answer 2

int number = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

or

int number;
int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out number);
