Changing variables outside of Scope C#
- by sam
Hi, I'm a beginner C# programmer, and to improve my skills I decided to give Project Euler a try. The first problem on the site asks you to find the sum of all the multiples of 3 and 5 under 1000. Since I'm essentially doing the same thing twice, I made a method to multiply a base number incrementally, and add the sum of all the answers togethor.
public static int SumOfMultiplication(int Base, int limit)
{
bool Escape = false;
for (int mult = 1; Escape == true; mult++)
{
int Number = 0;
int iSum = 0;
Number = Base * mult;
if (Number > limit)
return iSum;
else
iSum = iSum + Number;
}
regardless of what I put in for both parameters, it ALWAYS returns zero. I'm 99% sure it has something to do with the scope of the variables, but I have no clue how to fix it. All help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sam
