✅ Why and How does this work?

using System;

public class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Welcome();
    }
    static void Welcome() 
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Welcome");
        Console.WriteLine("I am a method");
        Console.WriteLine("End of method");
    }
}

using System;

public class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Welcome();
    }
    static void Welcome() 
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Welcome");
        Console.WriteLine("I am a method");
        Console.WriteLine("End of method");
    }
}

why does this work? when i think of code, i think of line to line declaration, so id think Main() runs furst, and then the method. so why is this?

because main calls welcome, so execution jumps to welcome, it runs the code inside, then it jumps back to main where it left off code only executes line by line until it runs into code that tells it to go somewhere else, like a conditional statement, loop, method call, etc.

there was no reason to close this on them... let's relax on the thread policing, you really shouldn't close threads that have valid questions regardless of whether you think the question is too basic or not especially because they'll never see the answer i gave them, they'll just see that their thread disappeared
