  2. Abstract Class – This class serves as a base class where it’s purpose is to be inherited on sub classes.
  3. Var keyword is implicit variable declaration which means variable type will be determined by the program depending on the type of value it has been assigned to. For example var MyVariable = “sprint” will make the MyVariable become a string variable.
  4. StringBuilder class is a great class for elegantly build strings together.
  5. Enum is a way to assign variables as numbers like enum weekdays { Monday, Tuesdays, etc} To use it use weekdays.Monday
  6. REPL – Read, Eval, Print, Loop is an interactive top level language shell for testing pieces of code.
  7. Array can hold only one type in C#.
