Methods are type members that execute a block of statements.
A method that performs some actions, but does not return a value indicates this by showing that it returns the void type before the name of the method. A method that performs some actions and returns a value indicates this by showing that it returns the type of that value before the name of the method.

// methods
public void WriteToConsole()
{
WriteLine($"{Name} was born on {DateOfBirth:dddd, d MMMM yyyy}");
}
public string GetOrigin()
{
return $"{Name} was born on {HomePlanet}";
} Inside the Main method, add the following code:
p1.WriteToConsole(); WriteLine...
