If-Else in C#

Expand Post »

This might sound silly. But I'm working on a C# assignment for school right now, and I can't get a simple if-else statement to work. Isn't the syntax the same as in C++ or Java?

I want to do one thing if a boolean variable is true, something else if it's not. The "bool" type exists in C#, right?

Re: If-Else in C#

Thanks, Tek. I fixed the problem. I was out of scope for what I wanted to do.

Re: If-Else in C#

I know you fixed it but I recall that C# doesn't allow for boolean values like true and false I'm thinking that was it am I correct?

Re: If-Else in C#

C# has the bool data type, which allows for true and false. Also another great resource for C# that I really like is http://www.codeproject.com (also has other sections besides C# too)

Re: If-Else in C#

actually C# depends entirely on bool data types in both selection and loop statements, it does not accept any other types we used to in C++ for example
E.G :
While (1) // it will compile in C++ but it will be a compiler error in C#
{
}

Re: If-Else in C#

All the C++ would be doing is converting 1 into "true"; that's not rocket science. This would work:

while(Convert.ToBoolean(1)) {}

Re: If-Else in C#

It looks to me like you were trying to make a statement and were proven wrong
