c# - Storing integers from Console to an array -

im writing program asks console x numbers console. if pick number 4, 4 different numbers should stored. program must store these inputed numbers in array, , add numbers , print out in console.

so, tried do:

console.writeline("write out number: ");         int[] x = int[].parse(console.readline()); 

and apparently cant read in array elements console on way, need store them inside variabel , add them new array?

console.writeline("enter number of numbers add: "); //yes, know should validation here var numofnumberstoadd = int.parse(console.readline());  int value; int[] arrayvalues = new int[numofnumberstoadd]; for(int = 0; < numofnumberstoadd; i++) {     console.writeline("please enter value: ");     //primed read     var isvalidvalue = int.tryparse(console.readline(), out value);     while(!isvalidvalue) //loop until value     {         console.writeline("invalid value, please try again: "); //tell user why entering value again...         isvalidvalue = int.tryparse(console.readline(), out value);     }     arrayvalues[i] = value; //store value in array } //i rather linq , lists, question asked arrays. var sum = 0; foreach(var v in arrayvalues) {     sum += v; } console.writeline("sum {0}", sum);
