Console.Read

[Gruntlyon]

So I wrote this code:

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            char l;
            Console.WriteLine("Press 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. OR you can press 'f' for something special!");
            l = (char)Console.Read();
            switch (l)
            {
                case '1':
                    {
                        int q, a = '7';
                        Console.WriteLine(" (Followed by *** ENTER ***)Enter a number bewtween 0 and 9:");
                        q = (int)Console.Read();
                        if (q == a)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Correct!");
                        }
                        break;
                    }

                case '2':
                    {
                        int w, aw = '4';
                        Console.WriteLine(" (Followed by *** ENTER ***)Enter a number bewtween 0 and 9:");
                        w = (int)Console.Read();
                        if (w == aw)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Correct!");
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                case '3':
                    {
                        int e, awn = '2';
                        Console.WriteLine(" (Followed by *** ENTER ***)Enter a number bewtween 0 and 9:");
                        e = (int)Console.Read();
                        if (e == awn)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Correct!");
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                case '4':
                    {
                        int r, awns = '6';
                        Console.WriteLine(" (Followed by *** ENTER ***)Enter a number bewtween 0 and 9:");
                        r = (int)Console.Read();
                        if (r == awns)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Correct!");
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                case '5':
                    {
                        int t, awnse = '9';
                        Console.WriteLine(" (Followed by *** ENTER ***)Enter a number bewtween 0 and 9:");
                        t = (int)Console.Read();
                        if (t == awnse)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Correct!");
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                case 'f':
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Happy fathers day tat!");
                        break;
                    }
                default:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Thats.....not valid...");
                        break;
                    }
            }
        }
    }

But after you type 1 or 2 or whatever and it says to guess a number it doesnt stop to let you guess, it just keeps going on to the end.
Anyone know the problem?

Use Console.ReadLine() not Read() like: l = char.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); or l = Console.ReadLine()[0];
Read() will also read the carriage return, which is why it wasn't work right.

                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Correct!");
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                case '5':
                    {

                        Console.WriteLine(" (Followed by *** ENTER ***)Enter a number bewtween 0 and 9:");

                        }
                        break;
                    }
                case 'f':
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Happy fathers day tat!");
                        break;
                    }
                default:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Thats.....not valid...");
                        break;
                    }
            }
        }
    }

But after you type 1 or 2 or whatever and it says to guess a number it doesnt stop to let you guess, it just keeps going on to the end.
Anyone know the problem?

(int)Console.Readline() is invalid, you only can (or you should) convert text to number with:
int.Parse(Console.ReadLine())
