i don't know the syntax for visual basic:

prompt user to enter number1
read in number1
prompt user to enter number2
read in number2

so.

Dim number1 As Integer
Dim number2 As Integer

Dim Sum As Integer

Console.WriteLine("Enter first number: ")
'what is the command to read in a number for console application

 Console.WriteLine("Enter second number: ")
'what is the command to read in a number for console application

sum = number1 + number2

'what is the command to display the sum for console application
Console.WriteLine( sum ) 

thanks, i trying to learn vb
