Statements

As a derivation of C and C++, C# borrows most of its statements from these two languages. The next section outlines the statements found in C# and their usage.

Blocks

A block statement allows multiple statements to be written in contexts where a single statement is allowed. A block statement consists of a statement list enclosed by braces:

\
static void main
{

}

Statement Lists

A statement list is simply one or more statements written in sequence and enclosed in blocks as outlined in the preceding section:

static void main
{
    refresh();
    repaint();

while (x > 0)
{
    ;
}
