Hi there, I'm making a simple program for school. I thought I had done it correctly, but when I go to run it, it doesn't output anything after "Your change is ".

namespace Lab7
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Problem1();
            //Problem2();
            //Problem3();
            //Problem4();
            //Problem5();
            //Problem6();
            //Problem7();
            //Problem8();
            //Problem9();
            //Problem10();

            Console.ReadKey();
        }
        static void Problem1()
        {
            int quarter = 25;
            int numQuarters = 0;
            int dime = 10;
            int numDimes = 0;
            int nickel = 5;
            int numNickels = 0;
            int penny = 1;
            int change;
            
            Console.WriteLine("Enter total change: ");
            change = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

            if (change % quarter == 0)
            { Console.WriteLine("Your change is ", change / quarter, "quarters."); }
            else numQuarters = change / quarter; change = change % quarter;
            if (change % dime == 0)
            { Console.WriteLine("Your change is ", numQuarters, "quarters and ", change / dime, "dimes."); }
            else numDimes = change / dime; change = change % dime;
            if (change % nickel == 0)
            { Console.WriteLine("Your change is ", numQuarters, "quarters, ", numDimes, "dimes, and ", change / nickel, "nickels.");}
            else numNickels = change / nickel; change = change % nickel;
            if (change % penny == 0)
            { Console.WriteLine("Your change is ", numQuarters, "quarters, ", numDimes, "dimes, ", numNickels, "nickels, and ", change / penny, "pennies."); }





        }
        //static void Problem2(string[] args)
        //{

        //}
        //static void Problem3(string[] args)
        //{

        //}
        //static void Problem4(string[] args)
        //{

        //}
        //static void Problem5(string[] args)
        //{

        //}
        //static void Problem6(string[] args)
        //{

        //}
        //static void Problem7(string[] args)
        //{

        //}
        //static void Problem8(string[] args)
        //{

        //}
        //static void Problem9(string[] args)
        //{

        //}
        //static void Problem10(string[] args)
        //{

        //}

    }

}

What I have tried:

This is my first time writing C# code, so I'm totally lost. We just finished with Python.

Solution 2

@phil.o is right.
Another way is to use below format:

C#

Console.WriteLine($"Your change is {change / quarter} quarters.");

For further information, please see: $ - string interpolation - C# reference | Microsoft Docs[^]

Solution 1

Strings are not handled exactly the same way in C# and python.
Here you will find how to use Console.WriteLine Method (System) | Microsoft Docs[^]
e.g.

C#

Console.WriteLine("Your change is {0} quarters.", change / quarter);
