Chapter 5: Getting into the Program Flow
In This Chapter
Making decisions if you can
Deciding what else to do
Looping without going in a circle
Using the while and do . . . while loops
Using the for loop and understanding scope
Consider this simple program:
using System;
namespace HelloWorld
{
public class Program
{
// This is where the program starts.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Prompt user to enter a name.
Console.WriteLine(“Enter your name, please:”);
// Now read the name entered.
string name = Console.ReadLine();
// Greet the user with the entered name.
Console.WriteLine(“Hello, “ + name);
// Wait for user to acknowledge the results.
Console.WriteLine(“Press Enter to terminate . . . “);
Console.Read();
}
}
}
Beyond introducing you to a few fundamentals of C# programming, this program is almost worthless. It simply spits back out whatever you entered. You can imagine more complicated program examples ...
