Reflection Questions

1. What is the primary function of Console.WriteLine()? How does it relate to the idea of a program "speaking" to a user?
2. Imagine you typed Cosnol.WriteLine() by mistake. What do you think would happen when you try to run your program? Why is correct spelling so important in programming?
3. What was the most challenging part of writing your first line of code?
