📖 Instructions#
Your project already contains a working program — open the main file and you’ll see a single instruction waiting for you. This instruction tells the computer to display text in the console. It’s the simplest program you can write — one instruction, one result. You didn’t write it, but you’re about to run it.
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");🧠 Recall

✅ What to Do#
Run the program using dotnet run in the terminal.
🎯 Expected Outcome#
Hello, World!💡 Hints#
Hint 1
Open the terminal in VS Code from View → Terminal. This is where you type commands.
Hint 2
Make sure the terminal is inside the ConsoleGamesLibrary folder — you should see it in the prompt. Then type dotnet run and press Enter.
⚠️ Common Mistakes#
Typing the command in the wrong place
dotnet run is a terminal command — it goes in the VS Code terminal panel at the bottom, not in Program.cs or the Command Palette. Open the terminal from View → Terminal.
Terminal is in the wrong folder
If the terminal shows a folder other than ConsoleGamesLibrary, dotnet run will fail with Couldn't find a project to run. Navigate into the project folder with cd ConsoleGamesLibrary before running.
Output doesn’t match
The expected output is Hello, World! — with a comma and an exclamation mark. If yours shows something different, check that Program.cs hasn’t been edited since the project was created. It should contain exactly Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");.
🙈 Solution#
