Question

Hello, I need some help from C# programmers. I am a beginner in C#. I am learning through tutorials, and I usually get stuck because if I don't see the big picture of the code I get bored and discouraged. // Comments of explanation are how I have been learning best lately. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Instructions: In the previous tutorial, you were asked to create a simple Windows application that allowed the user to input two values and then add, subtract, multiply, or divide.

Now, you will add error handling into this project. Recall that you are using the int.TryParse() function to parse out the values entered by the user.

(Part that I have to add) Using the Try/Catch statement, you want to handle any possible exceptions that may occur as a result of performing the operation on the two numbers. Use at least one specific Exception in your catch statement and handle any general exceptions.

Here is the code that I have from another person that helped me understand the last tutorial I did:

1. Form1.cs CODE:

amespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        // two integer variables to hold the numbers entered by user
        int firstNumber;
        int secondNumber;
        //class constructor
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        //tryParse() method is used to check whether valid input is entered by user or not
      
      
        public bool tryParse()
        {
            if (!(int.TryParse(txtFirstNumber.Text, out firstNumber)) || !(int.TryParse(txtSecondNumber.Text, out secondNumber)))
            {
                // if conversion fails display result using MessageBox.Show();
                MessageBox.Show("Please enter a valid number.");
                //return false - that is invalid input
                return false;
            }
            //if conversion is valid return true for input
            return true;

        }

        //Addition of two numbers
        private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //calling tryParse() method to check if it is returning true or false
            if (tryParse())
            {
                //addition of firstNumber with secondNumber
              
                lblResult.Text = String.Format($"Addition of {firstNumber} and {secondNumber} is :{firstNumber + secondNumber}");
            }
        }
        //subtraction of two numbers
        private void btnSubtract_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //calling tryParse() method to check if it is returning true or false
            if (tryParse())
            {
                //subtraction of firstNumber from secondNumber
              
                lblResult.Text = String.Format($"Subtraction of {firstNumber} and {secondNumber} is :{firstNumber - secondNumber}");
            }
        }
        //Multiplication of two numbers
        private void btnMultiply_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //calling tryParse() method to check if it is returning true or false
            if (tryParse())
            {
                //multiplication of firstNumber with secondNumber
              
                lblResult.Text = String.Format($"Multiplication of {firstNumber} and {secondNumber} is :{firstNumber * secondNumber}");
            }
        }
        //Division of two numbers
        private void btnDivide_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //calling tryParse() method to check if it is returning true or false
            if (tryParse())
            {
                //dividing of firstNumber by secondNumber
              
                lblResult.Text = String.Format($"Division of {firstNumber} and {secondNumber} is :{firstNumber / secondNumber}");
            }
        }
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
    }
}

2. Form1.Designer.cs CODE:

Explanation / Answer

/*

Your code is correct but in

But at line Numbers : 48,59,70,81

String.Format syntax error is there

it should be like:

==>String.Format("Addition of {0} and {1} is :{2}",firstNumber,secondNumber,firstNumber+secondNumber);

==>String.Format("Subtraction of {0} and {1} is :{2}",firstNumber,secondNumber,firstNumber-secondNumber);

==>String.Format("Division of {0} and {1} is :{2}", firstNumber, secondNumber, (double)firstNumber / secondNumber);

==>String.Format("Multiplication of {0} and {1} is :{2}",firstNumber,secondNumber,firstNumber*secondNumber);

you will pass arguments like firstNumber,secondNumber separated by comma.

in '{}' you will place the argument number ex: 0 means first argument 1 means second argument

String.Format will replace {0} with firstNumber while runtime

Everything In Your code is fine just these four lines

and there will be no '$' after String.Format(

I HAVE CREATED MY PROJECT NAMESPACE AS "TEST" if you want to change you can change there is no problem just replace
