Spend longer whenever you need.</p><p>Use the language note below to explain this example’s state changes. Identify what is copied, what is shared, what can fail, and what is released. Only some of those questions apply to this particular program: say which ones. Make one deliberate change, predict the effect, and compare it with the actual result. A familiar-looking operator in another language may obey a different rule.</p><p><code>Main</code> is the entry method inside <code>Program</code>. <code>Console.WriteLine</code> prints a line. A class instance can have several references to the same object; assigning a reference does not clone the object.</p><pre><code class="language-csharp">using System;
