Terminal console lines that are offscreen are missing

Not sure if this is OS, Windows 11, VS, C# or terminal issue. Can't seem to find anything relating this Simple program in C#:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
  for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    Console.WriteLine("{0}",i);
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
  for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    Console.WriteLine("{0}",i);
}

output seems fine until i try seeing earlier values

all the lines before what was seen when program was finished are invisible basically everything outside bounding box of the window

ErickO•3y ago

yup they tend to delete it after X number of prints

MartynasXSOP•3y ago

the lines are blank but they are still scrollable through

ErickO•3y ago

👀 interesting what if you try a different emulator, like git bash or something I would guess it's the terminal as opposed to the program unless c# is doing something else behind the scenes that I don't know it shouldn't really have control over what it prints, that code just gets converted to asm with a call to sys to print the numbers

MartynasXSOP•3y ago

i wonder if its windows terminal thing altogether

Jochem•3y ago

try powershell cause that code's valid

ErickO•3y ago

yup

MartynasXSOP•3y ago

trying to find how to change it in vs community it still opens cmd in windows terminal 💀 vscode is too popular all the answers are for it

ErickO•3y ago

wtf is vs community oh the IDE?

MartynasXSOP•3y ago

yes

I guarantee it's just the console being wonky though add

 using System.Threading;

 using System.Threading;

to the top and add this after your console.writeline inside the for statement

Thread.Sleep(100);

Thread.Sleep(100);

it'll wait 0.1s between printing lines, and then you can see them scroll past

the capitalization of C# stuff bothers me for some reason

Jochem•3y ago

it's pretty consistent, Classes and Methods are capitalized

MartynasXSOP•3y ago

yeah ok so that makes it all appear

ErickO•3y ago

more about...the way it is than consistency I just dislike it a bit

Jochem•3y ago

so 100% it's a console issue and you don't really have to worry about it if you don't want to 🙂

ErickO•3y ago

yeh figured it was console issue

Jochem•3y ago

yeah, I can see that. It took some getting used to

ErickO•3y ago

just use linux mate 😎

MartynasXSOP•3y ago

yeah i know its console issue but its difficult to debug if you log out more than 20 values and half the lines are gone

Jochem•3y ago

hm, fair what's under that down pointing arrow? can you change the console to powershell there? what if you rightclick the +?

MartynasXSOP•3y ago

i can change it there but the code has already been ran in cmd and it opens a new cmd window every time code is ran and it would just open another empty terminal if i did choose powershell there ill try asking in c# discord

Jochem•3y ago

ok, good luck!

MartynasXSOP•3y ago

Its probably more related to Visual studio than webdev thanks for the help anyways. okay so apparently i have to set it on system level rather than in the IDE
