```csharp
char[,] state = new char[3, 3] {
    {'A', ' ', ' '},
    {' ', ' ', ' '},
    {' ', ' ', ' '}
};
//                                    
// used like                          v I want the first column of the first row here
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("  -> {} ", state))
```
output should be `A`

```cs
Console.WriteLine($"  -> {state[0, 0]}");
```

Probably should have clarified, I know I can do that but with 9 elements it gets tedious

And don't use `String.Format()` for such simple things

Well, if you have a loop, what doesn't work about it?

It's more complicated than that, this is just an example

No, I mean I already wrote  it out by hand

There's very little a `String.Format()` can do that string interpolation cannot
