Day 1 learning C#: variables and data types

Statements in C#

A statement is a complete instruction in C#.

The semicolon (;) tells the compiler that you’ve finished writing a command.

Common Mistakes New C# Programmers Make

Typing console instead of Console.

Using a comma instead of a period between Console and WriteLine.

Forgetting double quotation marks (" ").

Using single quotation marks (' ') for strings instead of double quotation marks.

Forgetting the semicolon (;) at the end of a statement.

Literals in C#

A literal is a constant value that does not change during program execution.

"Hello" // string literal

10 // integer literal

true // boolean literal

Common Data Types in C#

string --> stores words, phrases, or text.

char --> stores a single character.

int --> stores whole numbers.

decimal --> stores numbers with decimal points.

bool --> stores true or false values.

Today I learnt the basics of statements, literals, and data types in C#. I also understood the difference between Console.Write() and Console.WriteLine(). I used the Microsoft Learn documentation.
