Top-level statements - C# tutorial

This tutorial shows how you can use top-level statements to experiment and prove concepts while exploring your ideas

The whole article may be a bit much (?) but essentially it is the same code, just that what's showing on your machine has the "top level statements" removed to reduce clutter, but also can be confusing when you're starting out, as you've discovered! You should be able to just manually add them back in yourself

and if don't add them it's ok?

ero•17mo ago

please try to read the links you're provided (starting with the one that literally came with the template you have right there in the screenshot) but yes, you're fine without adding them

namespace MyApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
        }
    }
}

namespace MyApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
        }
    }
}

Is the same as

namespace MyApp;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
    }
}

namespace MyApp;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
    }
}

And the same as

Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

For the most part, at least
