System.Console

Hi, Is good practice to use System.Console.WriteLine(); instead of declaring the System library outside of main?

using System;using System; is your friend

I see no reason why you would define the whole namespace of an object. It makes it very unreadable.

The only real reason would be ambiguity between two classes, in which case you'd be able to define an alias or define specifically what class to use at the top with an usingusing statement. Always at the top of the file.

using namespace std; in C++ can cause some bugs later on the track that way its best practice to not use namespace std; but to use std::cout<<"Test"; or std::cin >> test;

Interesting. There's no bugs in C# with this though

very good

Maybe because they named it coutcout which could be unspecific?

Isn't stdstd a class type in C++ though?

Like here, we have ConsoleConsole

You should stick those before a method, though. It's required anyway unless you put using static System.Console;using static System.Console; at the top of the file

yes it has objects like cout for output, cin for input, cerr for errors & clog for logs

I guess I'm starting like C# more than C++

I can't comment on C++ compared to C# but I know it's not going to introduce memory leaks or vulnerabilities as quickly
