[c#] variables, ifs, simple math and drawing objects

[Hyperz]

Don't confuse using with includes. Using in C# is nothing but a shortcut and has no impact on performance.

Example:

System.Console.WriteLine("You know...");
System.Console.WriteLine("Writing system all the time gets anoying real quick.");
System.Console.WriteLine("That's why 'using' is the best thing since sliced bread!"); 

Why should we write the System namespace all the time to access the Console class? We don't. So we add:

using System; 

So we can just:

Console.WriteLine("You know...");
Console.WriteLine("Writing system all the time gets anoying real quick.");
Console.WriteLine("That's why 'using' is the best thing since sliced bread!"); 

We can also create an alias:

using System;
using c = System.Console; 

To do:

c.WriteLine("You know...");
c.WriteLine("Writing system all the time gets anoying real quick.");
c.WriteLine("That's why 'using' is the best thing since sliced bread!"); 

The closest you'll get to include()/require() in a language like C# is adding references to other assemblies in Visual Studio (well you can load them at runtime or even compile and run source code at runtime but that's on a whole other level, lol).

It also shows how to create these objects without using the Design view of Visual Studio. The code has been commented to make it easier to read, and is fully functional.
