C# Syntax

In the previous chapter, we created a C# file called Program.cs, and we used the following code to print "Hello World" to the screen:

using System;

class Program

namespace helloworld

{

    static void Main(string[] args)

    {

        Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

    }

}

Line 1: using System means that we can use classes from the System namespace.

Line 2: A blank line. C# ignores white space. However, multiple lines makes the code more readable.

Line 3: namespace is used to organize your code, and it is a container for classes and other namespaces.

Line 4: The curly braces {} marks the beginning and the end of a block of code.

Line 5: class is a container for data and methods, which brings functionality to your program. Every line of code that runs in C# must be inside a class. In our example, we named the class Program
