C# testing console program

Once everything is installed it is time to test

Create a console program

dotnet new console -n MyFirstApp

cd MyFirstApp

dotnet run

The output in the console will be hello world

Edit the Program.cs

when you open Program.cs you should see a basic

Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

This is your entry point for your logic, if you want to change it to make it do something replace above with

Console.WriteLine("What is your name?");
string? name = Console.ReadLine(); // Reads user input
Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {name}! Today is {DateTime.Now:D}");

this will ask you for your name in the console, wait for input and output

Hello, baric! and the date
