Hi everyone,

I try to make a program that will ask the user for their ice cream flavor and the most they can have is three scoops.

It needs to throw an exception if they do not go with the five flavors and if they go beyond 3 scoops.

Also right at the begining of testing it will get a bug error immediatly with no build errors..and then crash..need help! Could someone tells me what's wrong with my code below?

Thanks!

Put it in code tags and maybe you'll get a helpful response.

Infinite Recursion · Aug 18th, 2007, 11:50 PM

Agreed with Booooze... I didn't bother reading the code because its not in the [ CODE ] tags.

xavier · Aug 19th, 2007, 12:03 AM

Better yet, wrap it in [highlight=csharp][/*highlight] - without the * offcorse.

Sparrow · Aug 19th, 2007, 12:15 AM

Hi there,

What do you mean by code tags??? I know that I'm not as good as you are in programming...

Sparrow · Aug 19th, 2007, 12:16 AM

Hi there,

Everybody's speaking to write my code in code tags... what is it?
Thanks!

titaniumdecoy · Aug 19th, 2007, 12:40 AM

Code tags

Sparrow · Aug 19th, 2007, 1:19 AM

Hi There,

How do I do that? I just starded programming...
Tx!

Kelvoron · Aug 19th, 2007, 1:37 AM

lol hi sparow, i haven't read your problem yet but when they say code tags they mean on here when you post (in normal post not quick reply) you will see a little # symbol in the tool bar under the title filed click it and it will give you two tags that say code and /code with brakets around it. put your code in that for people to view.

(Toggle Plain Text)

System.Console.WriteLine("your code will apear like this.");
System.Console.ReadLine();

      /*see
         code
          tags*/
// are cool
