You could also store the user's name in a variable to use it in later sentences: String UserName = Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Hello, {0}, I am your father.", UserName); The {0} is there to import the 0th (1st) variable from the list on the right into your text. You could add more variables by doing {1}, {2}, and so on.

A method ive found really helps me understand it not just copy it down without learning anything is taking notes as I go in the style of a tutorial to myself. That way I have to explain what everything does and why I'm doing it as I follow the tutorial, so I make absolutely certain I grasp it well enough that I'd be able to explain it to someone before moving on to the next step, and if I ever forget anything I can go back and read my own definition of everything in terms specific to how I learn and understand things.

[@christopherrice4360]

sleepy so do i

[@doorstopper674]

Syntax

[@webaccount284]

Spacebars are FORBIDDEN so we use . instead

[@ehitale]

I'm not an expert, but to my understanding the use operators (like '.' {the dot} and '{}' {brackets}) is to delimit different portions from code, for organizational purposes. Whatever operator is used in pretty arbitary, some languages don't use semi-colons, etc, etc. If it helps, just think of it as symbols that tell your computer what some random line of code does. For a common example in math, '5 + 5' just means add five things to another five things.

[@manakahas4927]

"[]" are (to my understanding) used for arrays. You can think of an Array as filing cabinet for your code. Example: You say hey computer get me what's in Array #3 and ÷ it by what's in Array #6 ([3]÷[6]=X) "." are used to summon blocks of code known as cyberdeamons or a "method". Methods are blocks of code that do things that have a name and belong to a class.

Hey, so I am starting these tutorials at the end of 2022 and inside Visual Studio my "lines of code" inside Program.cs is "simplified" I guess would be the best term. For instance, my "hello world" application is only 2 lines, console.writeline and console.readkey(). Other articles I've read seem to say that this will work (and my hello world works) but I can't get over the feeling that I am missing valuable information among other things by not having the same "extended" format as are in your videos. Do you or anyone else think I need to revert the formatting to match what is in these videos or is this extra\extended version just not needed now? And does anyone know the way for me to revert the formatting to this method as shown in your videos? Thanks for any help
