Top-Level Statements & Console Output

In modern C#, you can skip the Program class boilerplate and write statements at the top level.

• Console.WriteLine prints a line.
• using System; brings in Console.
• Top-level statements compile into a Main method for you.

using System;

Console.WriteLine("Hello from C# and .NET!");
