Hello World

The evolution of software development, as illustrated by Hello World.

Hello World (beginner)

namespace HelloWorldApp
{
    using System;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
        }
    }
}

Hello World (student)

namespace HelloWorldApp
{
    using System;

    class Program
    {
        const string HelloFormat = "Hello {0}!";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            PrintHello("World");
        }

        static void PrintHello(string name)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(name))
            {
                throw new ArgumentException(nameof(name));
            }

            Console.WriteLine(string.Format(HelloFormat, name));
        }
    }
