C# programming help; for god's sake help meFollow

Hey ya'll

I'm trying to make an ASCII converter program for school and it needs to have 3 different methods. Don't laugh but here's my newb program:




using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ASCIIWeek4
{
public class Crypto
{
string input;
string value;
string symbol;
public string getInput()
{
int input;

Console.WriteLine("Enter a character: >");
input = Console.Read();
return input;
}

public char convert(string input)
{

int value;

value = Convert.Parse(symbol);
}

public void displayMessage(char letter)
{

Console.WriteLine("The AscII value of your character: " + (char) value + "is" + value);
}
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
return;
}
}
}




I asked my teacher for help and he responded:


"Comments:
Hi, not to worry, I understand. So the problems here are that you have to return the values you read in. For example in the getInput, you're reading into "input" but you're returning "symbol". Also, all of those variables shouldn't be declared globally. You should only declare the variables you need in the methods locally. The convert method, should just be a char.Parse(symbol) and return a char value (as you see in the return value). Then lastly, in the main method, you should have what was shown before in the sample program, but commented out and then changed to your method of naming."



I understand what he's saying (mostly), but I don't know what to change ; ;




I keep getting 3 errors when i debug they are:



Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'string' C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Unzipped\ASCIIWeek4\ASCIIWeek4\ASCIIWeek4\Program.cs Line:18 Column:20 ASCIIWeek4


Error 2 'System.Convert' does not contain a definition for 'Parse' C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Unzipped\ASCIIWeek4\ASCIIWeek4\ASCIIWeek4\Program.cs L:26 C:29 ASCIIWeek4


Error 3 Cannot convert type 'string' to 'char' C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Unzipped\ASCIIWeek4\ASCIIWeek4\ASCIIWeek4\Program.cs L:32 C:67 ASCIIWeek4





I am using microsoft visual C# express 2005.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here and tell me how to correct it. My stress headache is KILLINE ME! lol

clueless ~B

ok that was funny lol,
but seriously anybody able to help out please?

(And I did mention it was a newb program lol)

Thank you very much ^^
I appreciate the help.

Erm, well you should have posted it elsewhere, and probably in a different format.

Might I suggest you revert to routine and take a marker pen to the end cubicle of the local public toilets and scrawl "Will blow and swallow. Dial xxx-xxx-xxxx and ask for BeamerB. Older men preferred"

Alternatively, you could just fUck off and die.

Hope that helps

Although I don't know C# yet looking at your program and your teacher’s response it seems pretty simple to figure out the problem.

In short, you're a fUcking idiot and you should change your major to grave digging.

Wow, CrescentFresh he was asking for help, not a firing squad. We dont need your emo plee for why the people you helped got laid/had fun while you were jerking it to code in a small corner.

I'm pretty sure you tried to insult me but I'll be damned if I can make sense out of it. Can anyone translate cunt?

Oh, by the way, Fuzzycheese, your ratebot tremblingbloom was just involved in a near fatal karma accident.

Lose the sock.

Despite my inability to remember writing this I am totally convinced that I did at some point. In any case, rate-up Jeffoncom for your patronage.
