[Solved] Try catch block issue [closed]

by


Firstly, you’re going to have to either define currentYear within the try/catch (both try and catch due to way the compiler interprets code paths) or upon declaration. Otherwise, you’ll get CS0165: Use of unassigned local variable 'currentYear' at the line with age = findAge(currentYear, birthYear)

The following code works:

static void CollectUserInfo()
{
    // Declar Varibals
    string firstName, lastName;

    // We can define these here so that there isn't a compiler error.
    int birthYear = 0;
    int currentYear = 0;
    int age;
    double maxHeartRate, minTargetHeartRate, maxTargetHeartRate;

    // User is asked to enter info
    Console.Write("Enter your first Name: ");
    firstName = Console.ReadLine();
    Console.Write("Enter your last name: ");
    lastName = Console.ReadLine();
    try
    {
        Console.Write("Enter the current year: ");
        currentYear = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.Write("Enter your birth year: ");
        birthYear = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
    } 
    catch (Exception)
    {
        // The result of the error. 
        Console.WriteLine("Invalid input.");
        CollectUserInfo();
    }
    // Find Age
    age = findAge(currentYear, birthYear);

    // Find Max Heart rate
    maxHeartRate = findMaxHR(age);

    // Find Minimum Target Heart Rate
    minTargetHeartRate = findMinTHR(maxHeartRate);

    // Find Maximum Target Heart Rate
    maxTargetHeartRate = findMaxTHR(maxHeartRate);

    // Display Information
    DisplayInformation(firstName, lastName, age, maxHeartRate, minTargetHeartRate, maxTargetHeartRate);

// Methods
}
