okay ive got an assigment where i have to build a program for sorting out the rental details of cars,

one of the things id like to do is ensure that if a user enters a number with a decimal the program will round it up to the nearest whole number
i.e 30.1 =31

the program will also make various calculations based on user input, i need all of these to be whole numbers, im not too familiar with C#, can anyone offer help?

Hi there. We really don't directly help out with school work in this site. We could however point you to the right resources.
You should try using MSDN as your reference. http://msdn.microsof...rp/default.aspx

I'm sure you'll find your answer there (though not directly).

Personally, I consider codeproject.com as my favorite reference for source code help and explanations on how to do some things.

thanks for the links trackster, they helped out, now for my latest problem, i have a string called vehicle1, i also have the strings make1, model1, year1, rego1
i would like vehicle1 to equal
make1, model1, year1 and rego1, this is the line ive typed
GlobalVariables.vehicle1 = Convert.ToString(Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}", GlobalVariables.make1, GlobalVariables.model1, GlobalVariables.year1, GlobalVariables.rego1));
i keep getting an error message
cannot convert from 'void' to 'object' anyone know how i can solve this?
(i put GlobalVariables in front of each variable name because i have defined all the variables in a class called GlobalVariables(), this allowing me to have, you guessed it, global variables)

GlobalVariables.vehicle1 = Convert.ToString(Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}", GlobalVariables.make1, GlobalVariables.model1, GlobalVariables.year1, GlobalVariables.rego1));

The return type of Console.WriteLine() is void. Convert.ToString() needs an Object parameter.

In short, you're not really inputting anything in the ToString() method.

Read the number in as a float/double, then convert it to integer (implemented as truncation), and then add 1.
