✅ Console Menu Help
Hey all, I'm a very beginner c# hobbyist just need some clarifications on best practice.
Lets say I have a console app with a few different 'menus'. The menus are just text options that are all individualized.
I know I could just WriteLine the strings in Main, ask for a user choice then go into a switch statement.
But, what are my options for making this visually clean?
I currently do is just make a 'SubMenu' class filled with static functions and just put all my menu functions there.
Should I just use regions to hide the menu sections?
Or am I missing something very basic?

$static
In C#, static allows you to have members (classes, methods, etc) that are not tied to any particular instance and are therefore always, globally, accessible. When applying
static members, take the following considerations:
• If there are to be multiple instances of a class, do not use static
• If you need to track state, do not use static
• If you are going to have multi threaded workflows, do not use static unless you're aware of the caveats
static is best used for stateless methods, extension methods/classes and in areas where you understand the pros/cons. Read more here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/static$spectre
