Here is a brief example that shows how to validate user input
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication4 { class Program { ////// This program uses the quadratic equation /// to produce a a prime number /// with a seed of any integer between 1 and 41 /// The main purpose is to show you how you /// can validate the users input. /// the TryParse makes sure that the number /// is an integer without crashing the program /// the while loop keeps repeating the user prompt /// until they enter an integer in the valid range /// Steve Conger 11/1/2012 /// static void Main(string[] args) { Program p = new Program(); p.HowToTestUserEntry(); Console.ReadKey(); } private void HowToTestUserEntry() { //you want them to enter an integer between 1 and 41 //declare the variabe to test int number = 0; //create a loop that won't stop until //they enter a proper number while (number < 1 || number > 41) { Console.WriteLine("Enter an integer between 1 and 41"); //if it parses correctly it will assign the integer to the //variable number, otherwise it returns false bool entry = int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out number); //if it is false or the number is not between //1 and 41 prompt them to enter a correct number if (!entry || number < 1 || number > 41) { Console.WriteLine("Please make sure you entered an integer between 1 and 41"); }//end if }//end while //this equation is a mathematical oddity //that returns 41 prime numbers in sequence //for numbers between 1 and 41 int prime = number * number - number + 41; Console.WriteLine("The prime number is {0}", prime); } } }
