[RESOLVED] Help with increasing int!

case "north":
Console.WriteLine("Moved North");
int xCord;
xCord++;
int yCord = new int();
yCord = 0;
Console.WriteLine("(" + xCord + "," + yCord + ")");
break;

Hey, I'm new to C-sharp and am having trouble with int's.

I want to increase the xCord by value of 1, every time 'north' is entered and the loop run again.
But with this current code, it stays at 1 no matter how many times the loop runs.

Thanks in advance :)

Have you tried moving the "int xcoord" statement outside the case statement ? (same with ycoord).

Please go and study variable lifetime/scope in C#.

@ThermoSight, thankyou so much! Hours of frustration over.

@BigEd781, I've read that article now and I understand what I was doing wrong, thanks a bunch.
