  I'm trying to get around the error that my stack is null as I cannot use it until I initialize it it seems.
  
          private Stack<int> currentStep = new Stack<int>();
          currentStep.Push(1);
  
  I get an error: Invalid Token
  
  I can't get this to work because I have a method that is trying to increment the stack and it keeps telling me it's null:
  
          public static void IncrementStack(Stack<int> s, int numberToIncrementBy)
          {
                  // gets the current value (peek)
                  // Add the new number to the stack (push)
                  s.Push(s.Peek() + numberToIncrementBy);  <--- I get a null exception here because the stack is null
          }
