What's wrong with my code?

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!

using System;
 
namespace IceCreamConeExceptionDemo.cs
{
 
    class IceCreamCone
    {
 
        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string[] IceCreamFlavor = new string[5];
            IceCreamFlavor[0] = "vanilla";
            IceCreamFlavor[1] = "chocolate";
            IceCreamFlavor[2] = "strawberry";
            IceCreamFlavor[3] = "peach";
            IceCreamFlavor[4] = "banana";
            int scoops;
            scoops = 3;
            int result;
            int max;
            char response;
            max = 3;
            Console.Write("Pick a {0} ", IceCreamFlavor.Length);
            response = GetChar();
            try
            {
                Console.Write("Pick another {0} ", IceCreamFlavor.Length);
                Console.Read();
                response = GetChar();
            }
            catch (FormatException e)
            {
                throw (e);
            }
            Console.Write("How many {0} ", scoops);
            response = GetChar();
            if (response == scoops + max)
                Console.WriteLine("Thank you for your order");
            else
            {
                Console.Write("Re-enter amount of scoops");
                ++scoops;
                result = scoops / max;
            }
        }
        public static Char GetChar()
        {
            string inputString;
            inputString = Console.ReadLine();
            char response;
            response = Convert.ToChar(inputString);
            return response;
        }
 
        public static void GetFlavor()
        {
            string[] IceCreamFlavor = new string[5];
            IceCreamFlavor[0] = "vanilla";
            IceCreamFlavor[1] = "chocolate";
            IceCreamFlavor[2] = "strawberry";
            IceCreamFlavor[3] = "peach";
            IceCreamFlavor[4] = "banana";
 
        }
    }
}

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

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

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

Hi there,

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

Hi there,

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

Hi There,

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

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.

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

System.Console.ReadLine();

         code

          tags*/

// are cool
