Beginner Β· I/O + parse
Sum of Two Numbers
Read two integers from one line and print their sum β the "Hello World" of C# problem solving. The point is the read β parse β compute β print cycle.
Problem
Input: one line with two integers a and b, separated by a space (β10βΉ β€ a, b β€ 10βΉ).
Output: a single line with a + b.
Sample:
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
3 4 | 7 |

Stuck? Hints
Hint 1 β the reading part
Console.ReadLine() gives you the whole line as one string β "3 4", not two numbers. line.Split(' ') cuts it into a string[].
Hint 2 β text to number
int.Parse("3") turns text into a number. Combine: int a = int.Parse(parts[0]);
Solution (try first!)
string line = Console.ReadLine();
string[] parts = line.Split(' ');
int a = int.Parse(parts[0]);
int b = int.Parse(parts[1]);
Console.WriteLine(a + b);
Four ideas in five lines: read a line, split on spaces, parse each piece, compute and print. Next: make it a loop problem β Sum from 1 to N.
