C# noob with a little problem here

[stonecoldgen]

Hi, so I have this code:

namespace Program1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Is the numer less than 10?");

      

            int numero = Console.Read();

            if (numero < 10)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("true");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("false");
            }

           

        }
    }
}

The console is always writing the line "false" even if I input a number that should return "true."


any idea what am I doing wrong?

maybe you have to cast the input into an integer as it comes in, else it converts to integer zero

Console.Read returns the ascii code for the key pressed, not the number itself.

Try this:

            int numero = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
