I used the same code as in the teacher's notes but get this error when compiling. How can i fix this issue?

I entered mcs Program.cs && mono.Program.exe in the compiler

Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

It would help if you'd paste here the specific code line that prompts you this error. You are basically trying to use an int in a place where it requires a string.

Looks like a typo in the command you're submitting. The first half is correct but the second half you're typing mono.Program.exe This should actually be mono Program.exe.

So try mcs Program.cs && mono Program.exe and that should hopefully fix the error you're seeing. If not please post your code so we can see why you're getting the Cannot implicitly convert type int' tostring' error.
