How can I store user's input into 10x4 array until EXIT button is cliked?

Question

I am doing a fairly small project to calculate future value base on monthly amount invested and percent rate and how long.  I want to hold 10 calculatioin in an array with 4 columns to hold 1.monlthyInvestment, 2.interestRate, 3.years, 4.futureValue and display all these in a MessageBox.  can anyone help me please?

Answer 1

{0:F2} means format what's in the first placeholder to 2 decimal places. So, if 'C' were 100, then it would format it as '100.00'.

{0} {1} means print what's in the first placeholder, followed by a space, followed by what's in the second placeholder. As you're only printing one number here, this would not be applicable.

Hi,

Vulpes explained in the nice way.

Like this while(true)
       {

        }

you can use the following statement to infinite loop

for(;;)
{

}

Vulpes, nice explanation..

Answer 5

What is the meaning of this block {0:F2} in the above code because Generally we use {0} {1} like this to print the values in WriteLine Method

Why not the General one's cannot be worked out here in this example

Answer 6

Just change the Main() method to the following:

       static void Main(string[] args)

       {

          while(true) // loops indefinitely

          {

             Console.WriteLine("Select the Conversion Direction");

             Console.WriteLine("1.Celsius to FahrenHeit");

             Console.WriteLine("2.FahrenHeit to Celsius");

             Console.WriteLine("3.Exit application"); // need an exit route now

             Console.Write("You selected :");

             double F, C = 0;

             string selection = Console.ReadLine();

             Console.WriteLine();        

        

             switch (selection)

             {

                case "1":

                   Console.WriteLine("PLease Enter Celsius Temperature");

                   F = TempConverter.CelsiusToFahrenheit(Console.ReadLine());

                   Console.WriteLine("Temperature in FahrenHeit is {0:F2}",F); break;

                case "2":

                   Console.WriteLine("PLease Enter FahrenHiet Temperature");

                   C = TempConverter.FahrenheitToCelsius(Console.ReadLine());

                   Console.WriteLine("Temperature in Celsius is {0:F2}",C); break;

               

                case "3":

                   return; // returns from Main method and so exits application

 

                default:

                   Console.WriteLine("Please Select the Convertor");break;                   

             }

             Console.WriteLine();

          }

       }

Answer 7

Now what my problem is after entering the celsius temperature the console quits the application whereas what i want is if any conversion or Viceversa is done even after it should return back to the console to take another conversion in the same console without rebuidling the application

Please Find me a solution.........................

You appear to have uploaded the wrong file.

The file you've uploaded is called EmpTax.cs, not TempConverter.cs.
