I am having some syntax errors in my code, and not sure what is exactly wrong with it. Any suggestions as to how to clear up these errors?

The errors are as follows:
Error 1 The name 'InputMemberShipStatus' does not exist in the current context
Error 2 The name 'Parse' does not exist in the current context

Code is as follows:

C#

//DiscountApp.cs
//MAIN METHOD

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace PA05
{
    class DiscountApp
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DisplayTitle();

            string status = InputMemberShipStatus();



            if (status == "Y" || status == "Yes" || status == "y" || status == "yes")
            {
                int age = InputAge();
                Discount discount = new Discount(age);
                double discountRate = discount.DetermineDiscount();
                Console.WriteLine("The discount is {0:p}", discountRate);
                Console.WriteLine();
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("\n\tSorry, discounts apply to club members only.");
                Console.WriteLine();
            }
            Console.WriteLine();
            TerminateProgram();
        }

            //prompts for membership status
            public static string InputMembershipStatus()
            {
                Console.Write("Club Member? <y or="" n="">: ");
                string memberStatus = Console.ReadLine();
                Console.WriteLine();
                return memberStatus;
            }

                 //prompts for age of club member     
                public static int InputAge()
                {
                    Console.Write("Please enter the customer's age: ");
                    int age = Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                    Console.WriteLine();
                    return age;
                }

                static void DisplayTitle()
                {  //change colors and display title
                   Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
                   Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Black;
                   Console.Clear();
                   Console.Write("\n\t\tProgramming Assignment 5 - DetermineDiscount Discount");
                   Console.Write("\n\n\t\t\tPromgrammer: Nancy Hernandez");
                   Console.Write("\n\t\t_____________________________________________");
                   return;
                }

        public static void TerminateProgram()
        {   //terminates program by pressing Enter key
            Console.Write("\n\n\t_________________________________________________");
            Console.WriteLine("\n\tpress any key to end the program...");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}</y>

Solution 2

In the InputAge() method, replace

C#

int age = Parse(Console.ReadLine());

as

C#

int age = int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine());

I don't see any errors in the "InputMemberShipStatus" method. It'll probably get cleared once the Parse syntax gets corrected.

The method name was "InputMembershipStatus". Instead a call to "InputMemberShipStatus" was made. That is the reason. The "s" in membership was specified as "S".

Alright it's just a minor change.

Change

C#

string status = InputMemberShipStatus();

to

C#

string status = InputMembershipStatus();

The problem was you did not look carefully at the code. Exact name of method should be specified.

The next one probably is:

C#

int age = Parse(Console.ReadLine());

to

C#

int age = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

I will assume that you are trying to just get integer values from user. You will not get any result by specifying Parse alone. The compiler will throw an error if you don't have a object named as "Parse".
