Question

Perhaps this could be more clear. The method is returning values…but after the value is returned I have no access to it in the rest of the program. I put a comment on the difficult part.

class CharacterStats
{
    public int CharacterHitPoints()
    {
        int Health = 0;            
        Random rnd = new Random();
        Health = rnd.Next(30,70);
        return (Health);
    }

    public int CharacterStrength()
    {
        int Strength = 0;
        Random rnd = new Random();
        Strength = rnd.Next(1,20);
        return (Strength);
    }
}

class ApplicationObject
{
    static void Main()
    {
      string CharName;
      string KeepStats;

      MonsterAttackRolls GoblinAttack = new MonsterAttackRolls();
      MonsterAttackRolls OrcAttack = new MonsterAttackRolls();
      MonsterAttackRolls OgreAttack = new MonsterAttackRolls();
      MonsterAttackRolls DragonAttack = new MonsterAttackRolls();

      MonsterHitPoints GoblinHealth = new MonsterHitPoints();
      MonsterHitPoints OrcHealth = new MonsterHitPoints();
      MonsterHitPoints OgreHealth = new MonsterHitPoints();
      MonsterHitPoints DragonHealth = new MonsterHitPoints();

      CharacterStats PlayerHealth = new CharacterStats();
      CharacterStats PlayerStrength = new CharacterStats();

      Console.WriteLine("Welcome to Realm, the top adventure game in the world!  Please enter the name of your character if you wish to continue:");
      CharName = Console.ReadLine();

      Console.WriteLine("Welcome {0} to Realm!  You will be given stats.  They may be good or they may be bad.\nYou only get 2 rolls for your stats though, so pick wisely!  From there you must fight 4 fearsome beasts.\n  If you survive, you will win the game.  If you die, well, you die.  Press any key to continue.", CharName);
      Console.ReadLine();

      Console.WriteLine("You will be given a strength number which augments your damage. Your strength can range from 1 - 20.\n A strength of 15 or over gives you a bonus to damage.  A strength of 5 or less gives you a penalty.   You will be start with a hit point number between 30-70.  Good luck!");
      Console.ReadLine();

      Console.WriteLine("Your first set of stats is:\n Health = {0}.\nYour strength is {1}.\nIf you would like to roll again press 1.  If you want to keep your stats press any other key.", PlayerHealth.CharacterHitPoints(), PlayerStrength.CharacterStrength());
      KeepStats =  Console.ReadLine();

      if (KeepStats == "1")
      {
          Console.WriteLine("So you want a second set of stats.  Okay.\n Your health is now: {0}.\n Your strength is now: {1}.", PlayerHealth.CharacterHitPoints(), PlayerStrength.CharacterStrength());
          Console.ReadLine();
      }



        Console.WriteLine("Okay {0} you are ready to go.  Good luck!\n.  Once again, your stats are:  Health: {1}\n Strength: {2}", CharName, //How do I access the return value? x 2?;
        Console.ReadLine();
    }







    }
}

Where the comments are in the line just above this is where I want to put the returned values and have access for them the rest of the program.

Answer 1

CharacterStats charObj = new CharacterStats();
int CharacterStrengthInt = charObj.CharacterStrength();
int CharacterHitPointsInt = charObj.CharacterHitPoints();

EDIT:, since your edited question makes it more clear. I believe you are looking for following.

You need to assign the return values to some variable in your code and then display the values of those variables in Console.WriteLine. Otherwise they will be lost.

Something like following.

int CharacterStrengthInt = PlayerStrength.CharacterStrength();
int CharacterHitPointsInt = PlayerHealth.CharacterHitPoints();
 if (KeepStats == "1")
      {
        Console.WriteLine("So you want a second set of stats.  Okay.\n Your health is now: {0}.\n Your strength is now: {1}."
       , CharacterHitPointsInt, CharacterStrengthInt);
          Console.ReadLine();
      }
