Why this method does not increment?

Question

May be I had to much drinks last night. Why this method does not increment the value of "number" by 1 every time I receive the value "1" in "getTurns"?

class Turns

{

private int number;

public void Counts(int getTurn, out int getBack)

{

if (getTurn.Equals(1))

{

number++;

}

getBack = number;

}

It sounds like you were calling the Count method from two different instances of the Turns class. When number was an instance field it would start off at 0 for each instance. However when you changed it to static it would start off at 0 for the class as a whole and would be incremented by 1 as each instance called the Count method.

I've just tried it but it's working fine: using System; class Turns { private int number; public void Counts(int getTurn out int getBack) { if (getTurn.Equals(1)) { number++; } getBack = number; } } class test { static void Main() { Turns t = new Turns(); int i; t.Counts(1 out i); Console.WriteLine(i); // 1 t.Counts(1 out i); Console.WriteLine(i); // 2 Console.ReadKey(); } }

Thanks for testing it but doesn't work in my app. Actually I solved the problem changing the private int number to static int number. I do not understand why for you the original one is working. Thats interesting.
