********************************************************************************

' ----------- declare variable -----------

Dim stringToBeA_Number As String
Dim number1 As Integer
Dim number2 As Integer
Dim sum As Integer

'---------prompt user for input  and read in first value --------

Console.WriteLine("Enter first value: ")
stringToBeA_Number = Console.ReadLine()

'-------- convert string to an integer and store in number1 -------
number1 = Integer.Parse( stringToBeA_Number )

'--------- convert string to an integer and store in number2 ------ 
Console.WriteLine("Enter first value: ")
stringToBeA_Number = Console.ReadLine()

'-------- convert string to number and store in number2 -------
number2 = Integer.Parse( stringToBeA_Number )


'------------- calculate sum -------------

sum =  number1 + number2

'-------------- display sum ---------------

Console.WriteLine( "The sum is " + sum )
