Defining Basic Methods
Methods are blocks of code that perform a specific task. They help organize code and make it reusable. 'void' means the method does not return a value.

Open snippet →A class is a blueprint for objects. In this example, the Book class defines what data a book has, and 'new Book()' creates an actual instance of it.
Open snippet →An array stores a fixed-size collection of elements of the same type. You access elements using an index, starting at 0.
Open snippet →In C#, you must specify the type of data a variable will hold. Common types include string (text), int (whole numbers), and bool (true/false).
The 'if' statement allows your program to make decisions. If the condition in parentheses is true, the first block of code runs; otherwise, the 'else' block runs.
Open snippet →A while loop repeatedly executes a block of code as long as a specified condition remains true. It is useful when the number of iterations is not known in advance.
Open snippet →Try-catch blocks are used to handle errors (exceptions) gracefully. The code in the 'try' block runs, and if an error occurs, the 'catch' block handles it instead of crashing the program.
Open snippet →Console.ReadLine is used to pause program execution and wait for the user to type something into the terminal. The input is returned as a string.
Open snippet →Properties provide a flexible mechanism to read, write, or compute the value of a private field. Auto-properties simplify this by letting the compiler handle the private field for you.
Open snippet →String interpolation uses the '$' character to allow variables to be inserted directly into a string inside curly braces, making the code much more readable.
