Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Nesting can be a useful tool in building algorithms and can be used with other statements, such as if..else. Let’s use nesting here by adding another for loop.”

A block of code is set as follows:

for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
     Console.WriteLine(i);
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

dotnet new console –o MyFirstApp

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “When a programmer writes a program, they need to follow the syntax, which are the rules for how the software can be written.”
