how to pass arguments?
<p>i am writing a small game and i want to pass from a method that will pass it to other method that will do something with that number. here is what i try:</p>

<pre><code>  public static int MatchesStart()
   {
       Console.Write("how many matches do you want to play with?");
       string matchesStartingNumber = Console.ReadLine();
       int matchesOpeningNumber = Convert.ToInt32(matchesStartingNumber);

       for (int i = 0; i &lt; matchesOpeningNumber; i++)
       {
           Console.Write("|");
       }

       return matchesOpeningNumber;

   }

   public static int RemoveMatches( *** i want here: matchesOpeningNumber  )
   { 

    ///to do somthing with matchesOpeningNumber.

   }
</code></pre>

<p>when i try to pass it to the second method its failing.. :(  why is that?</p>
