This PR addresses the gap in fundamental C# documentation by adding clear, working definitions for "expressions" and "statements" to the program structure guide. These concepts are essential for understanding C# programming, especially as the language evolves to include more expression-based features.
Changes Made
Added a new "Expressions and statements" section to
/docs/csharp/fundamentals/program-structure/index.md
that includes:Example Content
Expression examples:
42
(literal value)x + y
(arithmetic operation)Math.Max(a, b)
(method call)condition ? trueValue : falseValue
(conditional expression)Statement examples:
int x = 42;
(declaration statement)Console.WriteLine("Hello");
(expression statement)if (condition) { /* code */ }
(selection statement)The definitions are placed logically after the program structure explanation but before the Related Sections, making them easily discoverable for beginners learning C# fundamentals.
Fixes #42561.
