number to quantity

using System;

class Program { static string Ask(string question) { Console.Write(question + " "); return Console.ReadLine(); }

static double Price(int quantity) { return quantity * 2;

}

static void Main()
{
    Console.WriteLine("Welcome to the cat food store!");

    string entry = Ask("How many cans are you ordering?");
    int number = int.Parse(entry);
    double total = Price(number);
    Console.WriteLine($"For {number} cans, your total is: ${total}");
}

}

how are we able to pass the number of cans to ( int quantity) if they have different names

The parameter name represents whatever is passed in to the function when it is called. It's effectively like a variable that is assigned to the passed value.
