00:00:00,940 --> 00:00:02,050
Welcome back.

2
00:00:02,050 --> 00:00:03,390
How did it go?

3
00:00:03,390 --> 00:00:06,610
Don't worry if you weren't
able to complete every to do.

4
00:00:06,610 --> 00:00:09,910
It's not unusual to struggle
when learning something new.

5
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:11,794
Let's walk through how I
implemented each to do.

6
00:00:15,907 --> 00:00:19,788
For the first to do, I declared
a string variable named thing, and

7
00:00:19,788 --> 00:00:22,924
initialized it to the string
literal value, movie.

8
00:00:27,831 --> 00:00:31,722
For the second to do, I used the
Console.Write method to output the string

9
00:00:31,722 --> 00:00:34,150
literal, what is your name,
to the console.

10
00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:40,800
Then I made a call to the Console.ReadLine
method to prompt the user for their value.

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,067
The ReadLine method returns a string, so

12
00:00:43,067 --> 00:00:45,997
I capture that value in
a string variable named name.

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,084
Using the Write method here,
instead of the WriteLine method,

14
00:00:52,084 --> 00:00:56,030
means that the user will input their
value on the same line as the prompt.

15
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:00,240
Also, notice this space
after the question mark.

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,008
Adding the space is totally optional, but

17
00:01:04,008 --> 00:01:07,692
I find that it helps the formatting in
the console to have a little bit of

18
00:01:07,692 --> 00:01:10,642
breathing room between the prompt text and
the cursor.

19
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:21,332
For the third to do,
I use the Console.Write method again

20
00:01:21,332 --> 00:01:25,584
to output the string literal, what is
your favorite thing, to the console.

21
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,674
This time, I concatenated the string
literals, what is your favorite, and

22
00:01:31,674 --> 00:01:34,091
question mark, with the thing variable.

23
00:01:36,381 --> 00:01:41,577
Then I made a call to the Console.ReadLine
method to prompt the user for their value,

24
00:01:41,577 --> 00:01:46,642
and capture the method's return value in
a string variable named favoriteThing.

25
00:01:51,275 --> 00:01:53,066
For the fourth and last to do,

26
00:01:53,066 --> 00:01:57,960
I used the Console.WriteLine method
to output a message to the console.

27
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,150
Again, using string concatenation
to combine string literals and

28
00:02:02,150 --> 00:02:03,170
variable values.

29
00:02:05,588 --> 00:02:09,120
Using the WriteLine method here
instead of the Write method

30
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,880
ensures that the message is written
to its own line in the console.

31
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,770
So when the program terminates,

32
00:02:14,770 --> 00:02:18,620
the console prompt will be displayed
on the line below the message.

33
00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:22,030
Be sure to save the file.

34
00:02:22,030 --> 00:02:26,094
You can do that pressing Ctrl+S or
Cmd+S on the Mac, or

35
00:02:26,094 --> 00:02:28,610
select the File > Save menu item.

36
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:36,240
Now let's compile and run our program.

37
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,306
Show the console by selecting
the View > Show Console menu item.

38
00:02:44,265 --> 00:02:50,150
Run the command mcs Program.cs.

39
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:57,940
Then we can run the program using
the command mono Program.exe.

40
00:02:57,940 --> 00:03:02,948
Here's the prompt asking me for
my name and my favorite movie.

41
00:03:02,948 --> 00:03:07,290
And here is the message,

42
00:03:07,290 --> 00:03:11,128
my name is James and my favorite movie
is Toy Story, written to the console.

43
00:03:11,128 --> 00:03:13,190
And that`s it.

44
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:15,030
Keep practicing, and
we`ll see you next time.
