What is the difference between Read(), ReadKey() and ReadLine() methods in C#?

Read()

The Read() reads the next characters from the standard input stream. If a key is pressed on the console, then it would close.

int az = Console.Read() Console.WriteLine(z);

ReadKey()

It reads only a single charactare from the standard input stream.

ReadLine()

Reads the next line of characters from the standard input stream.

Example

Press any key to continue... ");       Console.ReadLine();    } }

10 Press any key to continue...
