Allow only numbers to be inserted & transform hours to minutes to calculate gold/min - UPDATED

Question

I have an application that calculates your gold per minute farmed. I want to make an error report that wouldn\'t allow you to insert any text in the console input where yous hou

Answer 1

Instead of using int.Parse, you can use int.TryParse, and print a message:

int gold;
while(!int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out gold))
{
    Console.WriteLine("Please enter a valid number for gold.");
    Console.WriteLine("Inesrt your gold: ");
}

This allows you to re-prompt and handle errors correctly.

Answer 2

In console application you can't control text input (no keypressed event to handle).

This could be a solution

    Console.WriteLine("Inesrt your gold: ");
    int gold;
    while(!int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(),out gold)){
    Console.WriteLine("Please provide a valid gold value");
    }
    Console.WriteLine("Your gold is : " + gold);
