❔ how can i re use the readline after using it in a if statement

so basically im using readline and if it == "hello" for example, it'd writeline "hi!", then the program would exit. i'd like it to go back to readline after this. how can i do this?

// See https://aka.ms/new-console-template for more information
using ConsoleApp1;
using System.ComponentModel.Design;

namespace ConsoleApp1 // Note: actual namespace depends on the project name.
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.Title = Settings.WinName;
            Console.SetWindowSize(Settings.WinSize1, Settings.WinSize2);
            Console.BufferHeight = Settings.BufHeight;
            Console.BufferWidth = 97;
            Console.WriteLine(Settings.Logo);
            Console.Write(":> ");
            if (Input.userResponse == "hi")
            {
                Console.WriteLine("no");
            }
            else if (Input.userResponse == "bad")
            {
                Console.WriteLine("trash");
                Input.userResponse;
            }
        }
    }
}

no idea how i can do this

Shinigami•2y ago

You can keep the readline in a while loop?

krazycayOP•2y ago

Alright lol how do i do that or wait shit well that just makes it write no constantly

Jimmacle•2y ago

    public class Input
    {
        public static string userResponse = Console.ReadLine();
    }

    public class Input
    {
        public static string userResponse = Console.ReadLine();
    }

this is very much incorrect

Shinigami•2y ago

You can keep the readline in while loop and keep an if statement for exit, if user writes exit you'll exit out of the loop

Jimmacle•2y ago

you should be using Console.ReadLine() directly and storing it in a local variable

krazycayOP•2y ago

wdym? then how will i see what the readline is unless it's in a variable like that ah well

Jimmacle•2y ago

local variable

krazycayOP•2y ago

lmao wdym a local variable

Jimmacle•2y ago

a variable declared in your method

krazycayOP•2y ago

what i just started c# lmfao like 10 min ago dont know what im doing

Jimmacle•2y ago

void MyMethod()
{
  string userResponse = Console.ReadLine();
  // do other stuff
}

void MyMethod()
{
  string userResponse = Console.ReadLine();
  // do other stuff
}

may i suggest $helloworld

krazycayOP•2y ago

alr so

krazycayOP•2y ago

that breaks the loop and not the if / else statements i want it to go back to the if userresponse == lol

Jimmacle•2y ago

you don't need to break out of if/else statements just remove the breaks

krazycayOP•2y ago

then it loops saying bad boy or trash or no and doesnt go back to user resonse lol

Jimmacle•2y ago

then the code you're running isn't the code you're showing here every loop that should read a line, then print something out based on the input

krazycayOP•2y ago

like look

krazycayOP•2y ago

krazycayOP•2y ago

ah fixed it

Jimmacle•2y ago

you're also going to want to modify the variable used for your while loop condition inside the loop otherwise it'll loop forever

krazycayOP•2y ago

thats the point :>

Jimmacle•2y ago

to loop forever?

krazycayOP•2y ago

yes

Jimmacle•2y ago

if so you can use while (true)

krazycayOP•2y ago

mm k yo @fixed(void* x = &Jimmacle) how can i make multiple while loops run at the same time

Jimmacle•2y ago

what are you actually trying to do? the answer to that exact question is complicated for a beginner

krazycayOP•2y ago

ive done what i want now i just want to figure out how to run another while true loop while the one i made before is running

Jimmacle•2y ago

it's easier to help if i actually know the end goal

krazycayOP•2y ago

                Console.Title = Settings.WinName;
                Console.SetWindowSize(Settings.WinSize1, Settings.WinSize2);
                Console.BufferHeight = Settings.BufHeight;
                Console.BufferWidth = 97;

                Console.Title = Settings.WinName;
                Console.SetWindowSize(Settings.WinSize1, Settings.WinSize2);
                Console.BufferHeight = Settings.BufHeight;
                Console.BufferWidth = 97;

constantly do that how do i do the goal i wanted to do lol just tell me that

Jimmacle•2y ago

the short answer is multithreading but that doesn't seem like something you should do constantly in a loop i guess you could also use a timer

krazycayOP•2y ago

it's gonna lock the terminal size basically what i want to do constantly resize it, anyway @fixed(void* x = &Jimmacle)

krazycayOP•2y ago

krazycayOP•2y ago

why doesnt this work lol figured it out
