Reading Console Input

Console.In is an instance of TextReader.
Console.In defines two input methods: Read() and ReadLine().

To read a single character, use the Read() method:




    
static  int  Read()
    
   
  
   

To read a string of characters, use the ReadLine() method:




    
static  string  ReadLine()
    
   
  
   


ReadLine() reads characters until you press ENTER
ReadLine() returns these characters in a string object.
ReadLine() will throw an IOException on failure.
