Miscellanea

To compile & run a C# program w/o Visual Studio

1. Open up a Command Prompt.
2. Use the cd command to navigate to the location of the .cs file.
3. Run the command csc MyFile.cs (where MyFile.cs is the name of your .cs file) to compile the file. This will create an executable file called MyFile.exe, which we can run by typing MyFile.exe.
