but what happens when I have a big project that I need more files in one folder? do I need more files for big projects in one folder? distilldowo

again, you can have multiple files in one folder, but only a single with top level statements

I'm sorry I don't understand I'm very noob. yes I know I can have more than one file. but how to give the file I want a top-level statement.
how can I run a specific file I want

Your other files should contain type definitions (classes, enums, etc)...you don't "run" individual c# files. The compiled program has a single entry point, the Main method, where execution starts. Top level statements just hide the main method from you.
