Converting keyboard input numbers into a numeric type
<p>I m a bit stuck here. Though I know how to convert keyboard input character into usable character in C#.</p>

<pre><code>char ch = (char)console.read();
</code></pre>

<p>I want to read numbers nd make them behave as numbers in my program.</p>

<p>If I enter 5 from keyboard I want to store as 5 (mathematical) not character 5.</p>
