C# IDE
The easiest way to get started with C# is to use an IDE.An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used to edit and compile code.
In our tutorial, we will use Visual Studio Community, which is free to download from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/.
Applications written in C# use the .NET Framework, so it makes sense to use Visual Studio, as the program, the framework, and the language, are all created by Microsoft.
C# Install
Once the Visual Studio Installer is downloaded and installed, choose the .NET workload and click on the Modify/Install button:![Workload.png](https://www.w3schools.com/cs/Workload.png)
After the installation is complete, click on the Launch button to get started with Visual Studio.
On the start window, choose Create a new project:

Then click on the "Install more tools and features" link:

Choose "Console App (.NET Core)" from the list and click on the Next button:

Enter a name for your project, and click on the Create button:

Visual Studio will automatically generate some code for your project:

The code should look something like this:
