The question doesn't make sense.

Because you can't do string replacement in an integer?
and
int.Replace doesn't make sense if you understand what an int is
Strings hold text, and it does make sense to replace all instances of some character or substring with another
while int holds whole numbers, and its not really a common thing in math to just straight up replace all "5"s in a number with another number
What you can do if thats strictly needed is to turn your int into a string, do string replacement, then parse it back into an inti got it
thanks bro
Every
string consists of chars. What is important, is that a char for a given number is not that number.
For example, char code for '9' is 57
Since it's the 57th character on the ASCII table
And a string like "69" is char '6' (code 54) and char '9' (code 57)Mayor McCheese

You can do arithmetics on chars, yes, and usually you will get the correct result. Both
9 - 6 and 57 - 54 result in 3 after all
