The code below ends to the error: "cannot implicitly convert "string" to "int". I can't get the logical point.

Question

int a = 2;
int b = 3;
int c = 2;
int x = (a + b) * c;

Console.WriteLine("if x = (a + b) * c then what is 'x' if (a = 2, b = 3, c = 2)?");

int z;
z = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine(z);

if (z == x);
{
Console.WriteLine("the result is true");
}

Answer 1

Console.ReadLine() returns a string, you need to convert the string input to `int` by passing the input string as argument to Convert.ToInt32 method. If you don't do this, an attempt to compare <z> to <x> will fail because the two came from different class.

z = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
