Console.Write()

It is a simple method that you can use to print any value.

Run this program in your IDE. What do you see?

Exercise 1

using System;

class MainClass
{
  public static void Main ()
  {
      Console.Write(0); // 0
      Console.Write(-2); // -2
      Console.Write(10 / 5); // 2
      Console.Write("Hello"); // Hello
      Console.Write(1 != 2); // True
      Console.Write(4 == 2 * 2); // True
      Console.Write(14 == 7); // False
  }
}

Newline character

Console.Write does not write a newline character. As a result, output of the above program is on a single line. You can use \n to add newline.

Console.Write("\n");
Console.Write("Hello World!\n");

Exercise 2

What is the output of this program? Answer it without running it in your IDE.

using System;

class MainClass
{
  public static void Main ()
  {
      Console.Write("My name is ", "Talha");
  }
}

Now run the program in the IDE.

1. What is the output?
2. Does it match your expectation?

If the output does not match your expectation, then don't worry. We will discuss it in further detail Composite Formatting.
