ok so this program keep falling apart at the first “if” statement and keep bringing me to caragory B any tips?where is it failing? what code needs to be added or taken out?
using System;

A is an int variable to which you assigned the value 1.
You probably meant to do:
if (catagory==’A’)
not
if (catagory==A)
