✅ Does it work like this?
Im trying to start off by declaring an int numb and having a user enter a number and if that number is 'one' 'two' 'three' 'four' the program would go and read it as regular numbers ive had a lot of help with it thanks to leo and a few others but its 3 in the morning and im just lagging out and this is far as ive got and what ive attempted https://paste.mod.gg/ujnngabhpvvz/0 codes to big to post in discord this is for switch case practice thanks!

The current implementation seems quite weird.
I'd read the input from the console, save that into a
string variable and then put that through the switch to match "one", "two", etc.
If nothing matches, loop back to ask the user to try again
I recommend doing a ToLower() on the string so that it always matches the switch cases, even if you enter "tHrEe"Okay
I think they we're meant to practice
int.TryParse
and use the result with the switch statement
but the syntax is not there
The int.Parse and int.TryParse, afaik, expect numeric characters and not the English word for the number.
So, this
int.Parse("123") and not int.Parse("one hundred and twenty three")
That is quite possible, however, not apparent for me from the question 😄 thanks for the clarificationit's all good, this was discussed in #help-0 I think
Is it okay to post in both places @SG97 ?
I just posted here cause I got off for the night
I recommend not cross posting to avoid confusion
Either stay here or the chat
If you decide to keep this thread, then you could paste a link in the chat and ask for help? Not sure if that is fine with the mods
just keep it here, it's better
linking the help thread is not generally adviced though
