C# - Basic

Why should you learn C# ?

1. Popular language
   
   C# is considered as one of the most popular language in the World.
​
2. Easy to learn for C++ and C# programmers
   
   As the syntax and features of C# is quite similar to C++ and java. It becomes easy for C++ and java programmers to learn C#.
​
3. Object Oriented Programming Language
   
   C# is an Object Oriented Programming Language which provides all the features of Object Oriented Programming Language that gives a proper structure to your project.

First C# Application

Example :

public class FirstApplication
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
	{
        System.Console.WriteLine ("Hello World");
    }
}

Output :

1. So, in the above code we are printing 'Hello World' using the below statement, ​
   
   
   System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
   
   ​ We do not have to dig much into individual component in the output statement for now. We can just remember, 'System.Console.WriteLine()' is the statement used to System.Console.WriteLine something on the screen.
​ ​
2. Since, C# is said to be an object oriented programming language. All C# programmes should be written inside a class. 'FirstApplication' is the name of the class inside which we have to write our code : ​
   
   

   public class FirstApplication
   {
       ...
   }
   

   ​
   
   Note : We have a separate tutorial on 'Class'. For now, you do not have to dive more into 'Class'.
​
3. Inside the class 'FirstApplication', we have the main() method. The main() method is the entry point of a standalone C# application. So, C# executes the code written inside the main() method : ​
   
   

   public static void Main(string[] args)
   {
       System.Console.WriteLine ("Hello World");
   }
   

   
   Since, 'System.Console.WriteLine ("Hello World")' is inside the main() method, it c-sharp-t printed.
​

Moral of the Story

Example :

public class FirstApplication
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        //OUR CODE SHOULD BE WRITTEN HERE.
    }
}
