C# Creating and using Functions

Question

I need help with C# programming; I am new to it and I come from C background. I have a Console Application like this:

using System;
using System.Collections         


        

Answer 1

you have to make you're function static like this

namespace Add_Function
{
  class Program
  {
    public static void(string[] args)
    {
       int a;
       int b;
       int c;

       Console.WriteLine("Enter value of 'a':");
       a = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

       Console.WriteLine("Enter value of 'b':");
       b = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

       //why can't I not use it this way?
       c = Add(a, b);
       Console.WriteLine("a + b = {0}", c);
    }
    public static int Add(int x, int y)
    {
        int result = x + y;
        return result;
     }
  }
}

you can do Program.Add instead of Add you also can make a new instance of Program by going like this

Program programinstance = new Program();
