title: read user input of double type
body: <p>I have found this answered in other places using loops, but I wasn't sure if there is actually a function that I'm not finding that makes this easier, or if this is a possible (in my opinion) negative side to C#.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to read in a double from user input like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Console.WriteLine("Please input your total salary: ") // i input 100
  double totalSalary = Console.Read(); //reads in the 1, changes to 49.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've found a couple other posts on this, and they all have different answers, and the questions asked aren't exactly the same either.  If i just want the user input read in, what is the best way to do that?</p>
