Given the normal Console in C#, the task is to change the Input Encoding Scheme of the Console.
Approach: This can be done using the InputEncoding property in the Console class of the System package in C#. Console.InputEncoding Property gets or sets the encoding the console uses to read input.
Program 1: Getting the value of Input Encoding Scheme
csharp
Output:
Program 2: Setting the value of Input Encoding Scheme
csharp
Output:
// C# program to illustrate the
// Console.InputEncoding Property
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace GFG {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Get the Input Encoding Scheme
Console.WriteLine("Current Input Encoding Scheme: {0}",
Console.InputEncoding);
}
}
}
// C# program to illustrate the
// Console.InputEncoding Property
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace GFG {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Get the Input Encoding Scheme
Console.WriteLine("Current Input Encoding Scheme: {0}",
Console.InputEncoding);
// Set the Input Encoding Scheme to ASCII
Console.InputEncoding = Encoding.ASCII;
// Get the Input Encoding Scheme
Console.WriteLine("Current Input Encoding Scheme: {0}",
Console.InputEncoding);
}
}
}
