I want to print my gender using bool and if .

And I wrote that codes

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           bool male=true;
           string gender;
           Console.WriteLine("Please enter your gender");
           gender = Console.ReadLine();
           if (male!=true)
           {
               Console.WriteLine("Your gender is female");
           }
           else
           {
               Console.WriteLine("Your gender is male");
           }
           Console.ReadLine();
       }

But when I executed this code, return male , why?

And what do you expect it to return? You assign male variable only once - when it's created. Any user input is stored in gender variable which doesn't affect print output. And since male=true, check if (male!=true) returns false, so Console.WriteLine("Your gender is male"); is executed

You don't evaluate the input string but only the "bool male" that is allways true!

Try this:

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    //bool male=true;
    string gender;
    Console.WriteLine("Please enter your gender");
    gender = Console.ReadLine();
    //if (male!=true)
    if ( genger == "female" )
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Your gender is female");
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Your gender is male");
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
}

Because you are never using the input provided by the user, in your code.

Try:

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           string gender;
           Console.WriteLine("Please enter your gender");
           gender = Console.ReadLine();
           if (gender == "female")
           {
               Console.WriteLine("Your gender is female");
           }
           else if (gender == "male")
           {
               Console.WriteLine("Your gender is male");
           }
           else
           {
              Console.WriteLine("Your gender is unrecognized");
           }

           Console.ReadLine();
       }

Solution 3

The code is incorrect here.
You are saving user input in a string variable and comparing bool variable male (which is always true).
You need to compare on string variable like:

C#

if(gender == "Male")
  //print male
else if(gender == "Female")
  //print female
else
  //print improper input
