console.readline display something before

Question

I have something like this:

Console.WriteLine("Y =");
Y = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

and it displays like this

Y=
//and here i have to input my value

I want to put my value on the same row

Y= //here to input my value

Any tips?

Answer 1

Then you neeed

Console.Write("Y = ");

instead of

Console.WriteLine("Y = ");

Answer 2

try Console.Write("Y =");

instead of

Console.WriteLine("Y = ");

because writeline provides new line while only Write does not.

As documented here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/5ff3931a-8113-4f8c-a1dd-801d8e6db0e5/whats-the-difference-between-write-and-writeline :-

Write procedure writes a text and places the caret to after the last character in the text.

Console.Write("Thank you") -

Output: Thank you)

WriteLine rocedure writes a text and places the caret to the next line(like pressing enter in MS WORD)

Console.WriteLine("Thank you") -

Output: Thank you

| -> caret is placed here.

)

Environment.NewLine forces the caret to to a new line.(like \n in programming languages)

Console.Write("Thank" + Environment.NewLine + "you") -

Output: Thank

you)
