[Solved] scanner in while loop [duplicate]

Let’s extract a method (ReadInteger) for it. Please, note, that we use int.TryParse instead of Convert.ToInt32 since user input is not necessary a valid integer

 private static int ReadInteger(String title = null) 
 {
     if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(title))
         Console.WriteLine(title);

     while (true) 
     {
         if (int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out int result))
             return result;

         Console.WriteLine("Sorry, the input is not a valid integer, try again");
      } 
 }

Then we can use it: 

    public void Play()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            // We should re-read value after each attempt
            int value = ReadInteger();

            if (value > theNumber)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("your number is too big");
            } 
            else if (value < theNumber)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("your number is too big");
            }  
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("you got it");
                break;
            }
        }
    }
