Use the appropriate method of the convert class

See more:

Write a program that prompts the user for a number (that may be a fraction). The program reads in the input and print the following: the input as a double, the input as an int and finally the input as a char. e.g. if the input is 65.790, then the output will be 65.790, 65, and A. use the appropriate method of convert class.

What I have tried:

C#

using System;

namespace ConsoleApp08
{
    class Program
    {
int Main()
        {
            float a;
            printf("Enter a number");
            scanf("%f", &a);
            printf("\ndouble value=%.3f", a);
            printf("\ninteger value=%d", (int)a);
            printf("\nchar value=%c", (char)a);
            return (7);
        }

printf and scanf are not C# methods.

Besides that, you forgot to ask a question.

No, your homework assignment is not a question. It's a piece of work you are expected to do yourself.

If you really don't know where to start, then talk to your teacher.

And never use the Convert class (except maybe the ChangeType method) -- it's a rookie technique.

You can't grab code at random from the internet, chuck it into a C# file, and get a working app: the two languages are very very different, and just share some common syntax.
Much of what makes C work is not going to work in C#: it doesn't use pointers (except in tightly control circumstances) and C doesn't have any clue about classes or references. And while both have a struct keyword, they use it for very different things.

If you need a C# solution, write C# code.
