I currently have this, but it keeps resulting in the number say I put in 5 it will make it 51 instead of the result I want of 6. Can anyone help me?
int number;
int outcome;
number = int.Parse(numberInputTextBox.Text);
outcomeLabel.Text = number + 1 .ToString();
number = int.Parse(numberInputTextBox.Text);
outcomeLabel.Text = (number + 1).ToString();
You forgot to add ( ). Your sample was:
1) take 1 and convert to string
2) add number and string
in point 2) the number was casted to string before adding to second string. That's why you got string concatenation "5"+"1"="51" instead of integer sum 5+1=6
1.ToString() will return a string, which you are then adding the string "5" to, as C# will
implicitly cast the number 5 to the string "5" when trying to add it to a string.
You need to first add one, then convert to a string, giving something like this:
outcomeLabel.Text = (number + 1).ToString();
or
int newNumber = number + 1;
outcomeLabel.Text = newNumber.ToString();
Just add parentheses...
number = int.Parse(numberInputTextBox.Text);
outcomeLabel.Text = (number + 1).ToString();
