Basics

Dealing with user input

Use the Console.ReadLine() method to read a line of user input.

// Type your username and press enter
Console.WriteLine("Enter username:");

// Create a string variable and get user input from the keyboard and store it in the variable
string userName = Console.ReadLine();

// Print the value of the variable (userName), which will display the input value
Console.WriteLine("Username is: " + userName);
