Write Welcome Message

📖 Instructions#

The first thing we’ll do is greet the player. Right now, the program displays Hello world!. The goal of this lesson is to replace that with a proper welcome message for the game.

To do that, you need to understand two things: what a string is, and how to print text to the console.

A string is a data type used to represent text. In most languages, strings are written between quotes:

"Welcome to Odds and Evens!"

To display a string in the console, you pass it to a built-in function designed for console output:

Console.WriteLine("Welcome to Odds and Evens!");

When the program runs this line, it executes the function and the text appears in the console.
