Why use Point point and not Point point2

Im confused why do we use Point point and not Point point2? Why would we want to see the distance from point to point, arent they the same?

Hi i try explain it little bit

C# is case sensistive because it takes after the C style languages which are all case sensitive.

  • Class is like BluePrint and convention tell us we have to write it with Big 1st latter ( example : Point )
  • instance is something thath we make with our BluePrint so it have to have same properties (atributes in class) and functions (methods in class)
Point point;
point = new Point();

or this

Point point = new Point();

This is just for LEGEND

1-Point 2-point; point = 3-new 4-Point();

  • 1 - We gonna use Point class as Template ( blueprint )
  • 2 - our random name for our variable where we want STORE this Template
  • 3 - we want Make our Object from Template
  • 4 - From Templete Constructor

and Point and point is diffrent it like i have new "iPhone " and i tell you no you have chinase copy of "iphone " :smile: seems same but its not
