CS0019 Operator cannot be applied to operands of type 'bool' and 'int'

Question

This program is in response to the assignment:

"Create a method named Sum() that accepts any number of integer parameters and displays their sum. Write a Main() method that demonstrates that the Sum() method works correctly when passed one, three, five, or an array of ten integers. Save the program as UsingSum.cs."

from Microsoft® Visual C#® 2008, An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming, 3e, Joyce Farrell

My code in the "//step 1:" part is getting the CS0019 error, which states that it cannot be applied to operands of type bool and int.

I highly suspect there are also other problems with this code, but it's a great improvement over what I had four hours ago…

using System;

public class UsingSum
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Sum();
    }

    public static void Sum() 
    { 
       // Step 1: Addition of one, three, five
       bool q, r, s;
       int firstTotal, n, o, p;
       string k, l, m;

       Console.Write("Type the number 1: ");    
       k = Console.ReadLine();

       n = Convert.ToInt32(k);
       q = Convert.ToBoolean(k);

       Console.WriteLine();

       if (q == 1)
           Console.WriteLine("Input accepted.");
       else if (!(q == 1))
       {
          Console.WriteLine("Error: You didn't type the number 1. Please try again.");
          Console.Write("Type the number 1: ");    
          k = Console.ReadLine();

          n = Convert.ToInt32(k);
          q = Convert.ToBoolean(k);
       }
    }

    Console.Write("Type the number 3: ");    
    l = Console.ReadLine();
    r = Convert.ToBoolean(l);
    o = Convert.ToInt32(l);

    Console.WriteLine();

    if (r <= 2 || r >= 4)

       o = Convert.ToInt32(l);
    }
    else
        if (r = 3)
           Console.WriteLine("Input accepted.");

    Console.Write("Type the number 5: ");    
    m = Console.ReadLine();

    p = Convert.ToInt32(m);
    s = Convert.ToBoolean(m);

    Console.WriteLine();

    }
    else

     firstTotal = n + o + p;

     Console.WriteLine("{0} + {1} + {2} = {3}", n, o, p, firstTotal);

Answer 1

You can't write (q == 1) in C#, because q is a bool and 1 is an int.

q can only be compared to another boolean expression, e.g. true, false, another boolean variable, etc.
