C# C# Basics (Retired) Perform Converting Strings to Integers

I cant write int with a dot followed after "int" when i try to enter int.Parse("xx")

Whenever I write the dot (.) after "int" in the console it immediately gives me an error and won't allow me to complete the line. It says "Unhandled exceptions" followed by "System.ArgumentException: Cannot be less than one" in the next line, which is then followed by 33 lines of text saying something like "Mono.Terminal.LineEditor.UpdateCompletionWindow......"

To follow up it also exits me out of the repl and back to the regular console

Just to be sure, you're typing this in at the "csharp>" prompt, right? I don't seem to be able to replicate the symptom.

When I type the peroid, I get a little helper box with a list of possible things to put next, starting with "CompareTo". It doesn't exit, even if I type the complete line and get the (expected) error.

This might be an issue to take up with the Support staff.

Well, this is the place to come for support from other students. But for anything official it's good to contact the staff directly.
