C# Program to divide two numbers

Program

using System;
namespace division_two_numbers
{
	class DivisionTwoNumbers
	{
		static void Main(String[] args)
		{
			int a, b;
			Console.Write("Enter first number:\t");
			a = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
			Console.Write("Enter second number:\t");
			b = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
			int div = a / b;
			Console.WriteLine("Quotient of two numbers: " + div);
		}
	}
}

This C# program divides two numbers entered by the user and displays the quotient.

1. using System;

   • Imports the System namespace to use built-in functions like Console.WriteLine().

2. namespace division_two_numbers

   • Defines a namespace named division_two_numbers to organize the class.

3. class DivisionTwoNumbers

   • Declares a class named DivisionTwoNumbers, which contains the program logic.

4. static void Main(String[] args)

   • The Main method is the entry point of the program.

5. Declaring Variables:

   • int a, b; → Declares two integer variables to store user input.

6. Reading User Input:

   • Console.Write("Enter first number:\t");

     • Displays a prompt to enter the first number.

   • a = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

     • Reads the user input as a string, converts it to an integer, and stores it in a.

   • Similarly, the second number is read and stored in b.

7. Division Operation:

   • int div = a / b;
     • Computes the quotient of a divided by b and stores it in div.

8. Displaying the Result:

   • Console.WriteLine("Quotient of two numbers: " + div);
     • Prints the quotient to the console.

Important Consideration:

• If b is zero, a divide-by-zero exception will occur, causing the program to crash.
• To prevent this, an error-handling mechanism like try-catch or an if condition should be used to check if b is zero before performing division. Output

$ mcs DivisionTwoNumbers.cs
$ mono DivisionTwoNumbers.exe 
Enter first number:	60
Enter second number:	12
Quotient of two numbers: 5
