Numbers

The computer can also do regular math that you see in school. Use Console.WriteLine to print out the result from the math expressions. No quotation marks are needed for numbers!

Console.WriteLine(5 + 4);
Console.WriteLine(6 * (9 - 7) / 3);

Here is the full list of math symbols that you can use:

Operator	Description	Operator	Description
`+`	Add	`\`	Divide
`-`	Subtract	`%`	Modulo (remainder)
`*`	Multiply	`(`,`)`	Parenthesis

Fun Fact: Computer Division

The computer does division differently from your regular calculator. Computer division will exclude remainders or decimals. For example, 15 / 4 produces 3, and not 3.75.

Working Together

Try printing out the answers to the following to the console. Ensure your brackets are matched. Use a calculator (or mental math) to verify the computer produced the correct answer.

2 - 19
(3 + 5) * 6
(13 + 5 * 8) / (6 - (3 + 7))

Fun Fact: Random Numbers

Here is how to print a random number between 1 (inclusive) and 10 (exclusive):

Random random = new Random();
Console.WriteLine(random.Next(1, 10));

Try to find where we use Random in the GuessTheWord game! However, the details as to how this works is complicated, so we will skip this discussion.
