How to print a value in console application C#

Question

This is the code which running on my console.

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string X = GeneratePassword();
    Console.WriteLine("The password = ", X);
    Console.ReadLine();
    Console.ReadKey();
}

My GeneratePassword function is returning value for sure, but somehow I am unable to print it. I might be missing a small thing. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Change

To

 Console.WriteLine("The password = "+ X);

or

Console.WriteLine("The password = {0}", X);

Solution 2

Replace

Console.WriteLine("The password = ", X);

With

Console.WriteLine("The password = {0}", X);

You are missing a placeholder for your variable. If you had more variables, it would be

 Console.WriteLine("The password = {0} and other value {1}", X, Y);

EDIT: You can also use

Console.WriteLine("The password = "+ X);
//or note the $ sign before string. It will render variables inside {} 
Console.WriteLine($"The password = {X}");

I am returning a single string, why should I use your 3rd code block??

@Arka_Dev I gave you an example why your code does not work, and provided you with more info how to use a solution if you had more than one variable.
