Overview of this book

Extensively revised to accommodate all the latest features that come with C# 10 and .NET 6, this latest edition of our comprehensive guide will get you coding in C# with confidence. You’ll learn object-oriented programming, writing, testing, and debugging functions, implementing interfaces, and inheriting classes. The book covers the .NET APIs for performing tasks like managing and querying data, monitoring and improving performance, and working with the filesystem, async streams, and serialization. You’ll build and deploy cross-platform apps, such as websites and services using ASP.NET Core. Instead of distracting you with unnecessary application code, the first twelve chapters will teach you about C# language constructs and many of the .NET libraries through simple console applications. In later chapters, having mastered the basics, you’ll then build practical applications and services using ASP.NET Core, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and Blazor.

Understanding iteration statements

Iteration statements repeat a block of statements either while a condition is true or for each item in a collection. The choice of which statement to use is based on a combination of ease of understanding to solve the logic problem and personal preference.

Looping with the while statement

The while statement evaluates a Boolean expression and continues to loop while it is true. Let's explore iteration statements:

  1. Use your preferred coding tool to add a new Console Application to the Chapter03 workspace/solution named IterationStatements.
  2. In Visual Studio Code, select IterationStatements as the active OmniSharp project.
  3. In Program.cs, type statements to define a while statement that loops while an integer variable has a value less than 10, as shown in the following code:
    int x = 0;
    while (x < 10)
    {
      WriteLine(x);
      x++;
    }
    
  4. Run the code and view the results, which should be the numbers 0...
