Write your first code using C# (Get started with C#, Part 1)

Description

In this course, you will:

• Begin by writing little code samples to master the fundamentals of the C# syntax!
• Use data in your apps by defining literal and variable values for various data kinds.
• Combine literal and variable text data with special characters, formatting, and Unicode to create understandable messages for the user.
• Learn the operators and procedures for performing basic math operations on numerical data.
• Call methods in the.NET Class Library that return values, accept input parameters, and so on.
• Learn how to branch your code's execution route by evaluating boolean expressions.
• Work with arrays, which are data structures that store sequences of related data. Next, learn how to iterate through each item in the series.
