❔ how do i attach strings to integers and how do i use strings in while

.

A daily newspaper wants to increase its number of subscribers, and is launching a gift sale for new subscribers. subscription

Newcomers over 50 will receive gift vouchers, and every other subscriber will receive a book. Write a program that will record the name and age of each new subscriber. The program will print the name of each new subscriber, and the gift he is entitled to. The program will end when "SOF" is entered for the new subscriber's name.

i have tried to do the following and i dont know how to fix it

show us your attempt

string name;
int age;
Console.WriteLine("enter name");
name = Console.ReadLine();
while (name == sof)

sof?

ah

do i need to put sof " " in these ?

well yes, otherwise C# thinks its a variable

oh

and the text you pasted above uses "SOF", not "sof"

btw did you help me before ?

maybe? I help a lot of people.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
string name;
int age;
Console.WriteLine("enter name");
name = Console.ReadLine();
while (name == "sof")
{
Console.WriteLine("enter age");
age = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
if (age > 50)
{
Console.WriteLine(name + "you are going to get a voucher");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(name + "you shall recive a book");
}

}
}
}
}

this is my current program

but when i try to run it

after i enetered my name it did not work

is it beacuse i used the wrong stuff inside of while ?

basicaly

what i am trying to say is

how do i make the program stop after entering the words sof

can you tell me what while (name == "sof") does?

i guss it does the oppistoe of what i wanted

yes

what i am asking is what am i supposed to put insted of == so that the program will work

==is the "equals" comparison operator

do you not know what the "not equals" operator is?

ill be honest i havent coded in 3 months so i dont rember what it is

perhaps google knows?

this is the very very basics

i tried to type it in i just didnt know how to look it up on google

thats all

thx

ive got a problem

when i enter the program

i can only enter the name once

and it dosent ask for the name agien

but if i try and put the name inside it dosent work ethir

and why do you think that is?

all i know is that i am doing some thing wrong and

its realeted to this

name = Console.ReadLine();
while (name != "sof")

as ive said i tried to put it inside while but that does not work i tried to put it outside but that dosent work

you dont have to give me the whole answer just give me a hint

how many times are you asking the user to give their name?

once

yes, and is that what you want?

i want to ask them multiplie times

i dont know how but it needs to be inside the while loop

A daily newspaper wants to increase its number of subscribers, and is launching a gift sale for new subscribers. subscription
Newcomers over 50 will receive gift vouchers, and every other subscriber will receive a book. Write a program that will record the name and age of each new subscriber. The program will print the name of each new subscriber, and the gift he is entitled to. The program will end when "SOF" is entered for the new subscriber's name.\

thats the task at hand

so put it inside the loop

yeah but its giving me a red x

and if you read the error message?

use of unasinged local verabile "name"

and if i put it in the loop and luanch it the same thing happens

can we perhaps assign a value to the name both outside and inside the loop?

ive tried that just now

the problem is it overlooks the first name

man my english is terrible right now

what if we assigned a fixed value, that we know is not "SOF"?

like, null, or ""

whats null ?

the point is i am asked to recive each name and recive the age and print out each name and tell them what they got

I get that.

I don't really get the feeling that you are trying very hard here thou.

man

i printed out the whole thing all i am asking you is how do i perfect it

i am not good with strings

and i havent coded in 3 months

I'm not going to code it for you, not entirely but also not piece by piece

What is the current problem?

the first name you enter gets overlooked

and i do not know how to fix it

show your code

wait

what if i name two names

ah nah

right i will send the code

string name;
int age;
Console.WriteLine("enter name");
name = Console.ReadLine();
while (name != "sof")
{
Console.WriteLine("enter name");
name = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("enter age");
age = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
if (age > 50)
{
Console.WriteLine(name + " you are going to get a voucher");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(name + " you shall recive a book");
}

well you ask for the name, then you immediately again ask for the name

if i dont ask for the name at the start

then the program dosent work

if i dont ask for the name inside the loop there will only be one name

is asking the user the ONLY way to make a string in C#?

thenk you very much

string name="dan";
int age;


while (name != "sof")
{
Console.WriteLine("enter name");
name = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("enter age");
age = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
if (age > 50)
{
Console.WriteLine(name + " you are going to get a voucher");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(name + " you shall recive a book");
}
