Have you tried debugging to see what's happening as it runs?

AdiZ•7mo ago

I'm not really sure where I should put things Just everywhere? I've not had any experience debugging so it's not natural to me where I should do it In the code

You can put a breakpoint straight away at Encoder encoder = new... and then just step through one line at a time $debug

I put a breakpoint there but when I run the program it still just executes everything... I do this:

Then I hit F5. Then the entire thing runs and then finishes. It doesn't pause at line 7

static void Main()
{
    Encoders encoder = new Encoders();
    ListConstants listConstants = new ListConstants();
    encoder.Start();
    listConstants.Start();
    Console.WriteLine("Wow");
    Console.WriteLine(encoder.ShiftCaesarCipher("Hi", 1));
}

static void Main()
{
    Encoders encoder = new Encoders();
    ListConstants listConstants = new ListConstants();
    encoder.Start();
    listConstants.Start();
    Console.WriteLine("Wow");
    Console.WriteLine(encoder.ShiftCaesarCipher("Hi", 1));
}

Changing it to this and still nothing gets called I just realized that the program isn't running Main() @SinFluxx Did I structure it properly there?

Is that definitely the project visual studio is running/the only file in your project?

AdiZ•7mo ago

Yes. I don't have any other VS windows open.

How do I fix that? Ok I figured it out, it was a top-level issue Ok, all working! Thanks for the help.
