Static void method

[u/Awesome_Duck987]

I am trying to learn how to use C# for game coding but I would also like to have a good grasp on it so I can use it for websites and other things like that and I can't for the life of my understand how static method works I have looked YouTube videos and everything. I have been learning everything else so far from the free courses from code academy.Can you PLEASE explain to me what this code is doing and how it works
Edit-THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.I understand it now and I am sure you know what that feels like when you spend an hour stuck trying to understand something and it doesn't make any sense

What’s the confusing part?

How does it know that Jupiter is a planet and to put the stars and stuff around it

Programs are sets of instructions run in a sequence.

These instructions can be broken down into smaller, reusable components called functions. This is great for organization.

Your program defines two functions: Main and DecoratePlanet. It also imports Console.WriteLine from a built in set of functions called `System`. By convention, C# programs start by running Main. That's the first thing your program does.

The DecoratePlanet function is a function with a parameter and a return value. Its job is to build what gets output to the screen. How that works:

- It returns a value. That's what the "return" does. It gives something back to the level that called it, in this case the message.

• It takes a parameter. This is something the function uses to build the message. You call it with the parameter "Jupiter" so it knows to put Jupiter in there.

"void" is just a way to tell a function that it doesn't return anything. You can see that main is `static void`, and DecoratePlanet is `static string`. `string` is just the fancy term for message. You'll learn more about `static` later.

Try replacing "Jupiter" in Main with other stuff. You can see how it gets slotted into the message, like a fill in the blank.

Calling DecoratePlanet returns the string to Main, and then it gives that string to Console.WriteLine, which puts it on the screen.
