Why is this code resulting in an syntax error?-CodePudding

I was coding using an online compiler, and I was testing some C# code. It was something I personally, have done before, and the compiler took it. But now when I run this code. It results in a syntax error, and my online compiler is being annoying and won't tell me what the error is.

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using static System.Console;

namespace Test
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            public int hunger = 34;
            WriteLine($"Hunger level is {hunger}");
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
            Eat("meat");
        }
        static void Eat(string food)
        {
            if (food == "meat")
            {
                hunger = hunger - 15;
                WriteLine($"Hunger level in now {hunger}");
            }
            else
            {
                WriteLine("Not enough food...");
            }
        }
    }
}

Why is this resulting in an error, and what can I do about it?

EDIT: Solved: I was dumb and didn't notice that hunger was in Main. Plus, forgot about scope.

CodePudding user response：

Others already spotted the problems, so here's the working code with minimal changes to what you wrote.

public class Program
{
    static int hunger = 34;
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hunger level is {0}", hunger);
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
        Eat("meat");
    }

    static void Eat(string food)
    {
        if (food == "meat")
        {
            hunger = hunger - 15;
            Console.WriteLine("Hunger level in now {0}", hunger);
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Not enough food...");
        }
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

You can't user access modifiers on variables in methods, because it makes no sense, they can only be seen inside those methods

public int hunger = 34;

Here is working code, although got beaten to the line.. :)
Slightly nicer tho..

using static System.Console;

namespace Test;

class Program
{
    static int hunger = 0;

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        hunger = 34;
        WriteLine($"Hunger level is {hunger}");
        Task.Run(async () => await Eat("meat"));
        ReadKey();
    }

    async static Task Eat(string food)
    {
        await Task.Delay(1000);
        if (food == "meat") { hunger -= 15; WriteLine($"Hunger level in now {hunger}"); }
        else { WriteLine("Not enough food..."); }
    }
}

Edit: Replaced ReadLine by ReadKey()...
