Top Level Statements Issue
Heyo, I was following along with a friend making a small console app, but ran into some issues cause the version i was using had top level statements while they were coding on was pre 6.0
This was where I stopped at first
APP.cs(6, 30): [CS0116] A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields, methods or statements
Was the error I got.
Any chance someone can explain what exactly went wrong. I still dont fully understand how top level statements work and would like to deal with it because most tutorials were made before it was introduced
This was what I eventually got after switching to TLS
