What do you have so far?

Since you're coding a console app, use console.readline and your input will be a string. from there simply validate that each character is a digit, and a for loop can easily parse the string into the values you want.

here string is using to store ID

string str;
str = Console.ReadLine();
Console.Write("year is=20");
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
Console.Write(str[i]);
Console.WriteLine("semester is=" + str[2]);
Console.WriteLine("Branch  is=" + str[3]);
Console.Write("serial is=");
for (int i = 4; i < str.Length; i++)
Console.Write(str[i]);
Console.ReadKey();

hope this helps you to solve the issue . . .

thanks for reply rishif2.. but i need something more ... if str[2] is 3 i want to show semester is fall if it is 4 i want show summer then if it is 5 i want to show spring... and also want to do the same thing with the branch for different digit i want to show the name of different branch, pls help me..

You could use Enums for instance

enum semester
{
    Fall = 4,
    Summer = 5,
    Spring = 6
};

then

Console.WriteLine("semester is=" + Enum.GetName(typeof(semester), int.Parse(str[2])));

You can do the same with the branches.

@tinstaafl

int.Parse(str[2])

i think that int.Parse will take string argument and so it will not work since str[2] is char

so , to execute this , we need to convert it to string :-

Console.WriteLine("semester is=" + Enum.GetName(typeof(semester), int.Parse(str[2].ToString())));
