A Simple Sample

No, the sample is not going to be “Hello, World!” This sample is a simple managed console application that prompts the user to enter an integer and then identifies the integer as odd or even. When the user enters something other than a decimal number, the application responds, “How rude!” and terminates. (See the source file Simple.il on the companion CD included with this book.)

The sample uses managed console APIs from the .NET Framework class library for console input and output, and it uses the unmanaged function sscanf from the C run-time library for input string conversion to an integer.
