How?

Hmm... I don't really understand your question very well, but I did notice that you used a lowercase s for "string". Try typing a uppercase s instead. Here:

Console.Write("Enter the amount of time excercised or type \"quit\" to exit: ");
String entry = Console.ReadLine();

Hope it helps :)

Hi

The MSDN site states that:

Console.ReadLine Method ()

"Reads the next line of characters from the standard input stream."

Now, by 'standard input stream', it usually means the keyboard.

So, in our case.

The method is reading whatever the user wrote with his keyboard to the console.

Different from what you said about java(which i don't know btw) in C#(witch i only know for a week now) if you want to write(output) something(like a question) you would use Console.Write()

Now, if your question is where exactly the information goes when you use Console.Readline(), that i do not really know.

Hope this website helps:

umm in java If we want to read out a line to the console we say Console.Readline("the message here"); like that... but here readline brackets are blank.. My question is how exactly the time excercised message is being read out to the console??
