A get or set accessor required (Console Application)

Beginner here. I'm stuck on chapter 8 in my book: Nested If Statements.

Code:

---

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main();
          int ID
        {
                  Console.WriteLine("Enter Username");
                string Name = Console.ReadLine();
            if (Name.ToLower() == "administrator")
          }
    {
           
                Console.WriteLine("Welcome System Administrator. Enter your password.");
                if (Console.ReadLine() == "root")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("System Administrator logon successful!");
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Invalid password. Please log on as guest.");
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Welcome System User. Please enter the confirmation code to confirm you are a user of the mainframe.");
                    if (Console.ReadLine() == "ibmmainframe7")
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Welcome System User. Please enter your ID");
                ID = Console.ReadLine();
                Console.WriteLine("Welcome system user # " ID);
            }
                else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Welcome System Guest!");
            }

            }


        Console.ReadLine();
               
                }
        }
    }

{ and } missing at some places.
Console.ReadLine()); returns a string, so you need to parse it before putting it inside an integer
static void Main(); if you put ; here it means that you've finished implementing the function

Code:

---

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
       
        static void Main()
        {
            int ID;
            Console.WriteLine("Enter Username");
            string Name = Console.ReadLine();
            if (Name.ToLower() == "administrator")
            {

                Console.WriteLine("Welcome System Administrator. Enter your password.");
                if (Console.ReadLine() == "root")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("System Administrator logon successful!");
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Invalid password. Please log on as guest.");
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Welcome System User. Please enter the confirmation code to confirm you are a user of the mainframe.");
                if (Console.ReadLine() == "ibmmainframe7")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Welcome System User. Please enter your ID");
                    ID = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                    Console.WriteLine("Welcome system user # " + ID.ToString());
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Welcome System Guest!");
                }

            }


            Console.ReadLine();

        }
    }
}

Well if I read your post correctly, you are asking for a getter or a setter.

CSharp uses a thing called properties:

Code:

---

private int tries = 1;
public int Tries
{
  set
  {
      if (val > MIN_TRIES || val < MAX_TRIES)
      tries = value;
  }
  get
  {
      return tries;
  }
}

---

Properties do exactly the same thing Setters and Getters Do, only
Microsoft Specs properties over Setters and Getters in CSharp. Setters and Getters are used more in C++ OOP.

What a setter is is its a public function that passes in a value to set a private member variable. There should be a validation of this value to make sure no crazy value is passed in.

Code:

---

public void SetNumberTries(int nTries)
{
    if (nTries > MIN_RETRIES || nTries < MAX_RETRIES)
        tries = nTries;
}

---

Here is a getter.

Code:

---

public int GetNumberTries()
{
    return tries;
}

---

These functions are used to safely and securely change and retrieve member variables.

reedited my post correting mistakes

I meant "expected" not required (typo lol) in the title as in the error. The application was so sloppy that I rewrote it and it works perfect now.

Ok Great. Do you want to post your newly written app?
