First of all, Console.Read is used for reading single characters, not tokens. Read the int in using int x = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); .

The reason the second Read didn't seem to be executing was that you were entering one on each line: when you typed an integer, the first function read the character... then the next read the rest of the line. The string you typed was read partially by the third, and then dropped when your program finished.

i have also tried to do this

char x=(char)Console.Read();

            string str = Console.ReadLine();

            char z = (char)Console.Read();

Try typing:

x Something

m

Bet it'll work.
