Thread: converting string to ints

I am working on an assignment to create a Complex number calculator. In this assignment I am to ask the user for input to the calculator. We are given a sample run output that looks like this.

Enter operand1: 3 4
operand1: (3, 4)
Enter operation : +
Enter operand2: 1 2
(3, 4) + (1, 2) = (4, 6)

My question is how would I take from the user: an integer followed by a space followed by another integer and convert that into two seperate accessible int values that I can save as real and imaginary values. Thank you for your time.

The standard solution to your problem is scanf(). The first argument is a pattern of your input, other arguments are variables where you store the data itself.

I was looking for a solution in c# programming. Thank you though.

Yep, use split to get two strings, then use Int32.TryParse (it's better than Int32.Parse as it will gracefully handle when users type in garbage rather than numbers).
