Step 2: Your First Program
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
This line prints text to the screen.
Step 3: Variables and Data
int a = 5;
int b = 10;
int sum = a + b;
Console.WriteLine("Sum = " + sum);
This example shows how to store and calculate values.
Step 4: Decision Making
int score = 80;
if (score >= 50)
{
Console.WriteLine("Pass");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Fail");
}
C# allows your program to make decisions using conditions.
Step 5: Loops
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
Loops repeat actions automatically.
