How can check the input if it was "int or string " in console app ?

Question

int x;
x =int.parse(Console.ReadLine());
//I wanna check if the user put int or String in Console ..

Answer 1

string inputAge = Console.ReadLine();
try{
int age = Int32.Parse(inputAge);
}
catch(Exception e){
Console.WriteLine("Insert a Numeric Age");
}

Answer 2

You will always get a String from a input.

You can convert that in a Int , float, or wathever later, but as init, it's a String.

Answer 3

I will recommend you using try-catch blocks, when trying to parse the string to int, so it doesn't break your app.

There is a lesson in c# course here.

Answer 4

I meant that user can input for e.g: int age; input string here so it will break the app so I wanna use if to go to start if it wasn't number ..
