I'm currently taking an It1050 class, and I'm new to coding. I'm having an issue with using void functions with their program. I wanted to know if anyone could help me solve the problem. There's something wrong with the website, and no matter what I, do I can't get the code to work. Even after my instructor gave me some guidance on what to do. I have a link to the code you can make changes to. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

using System;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
// Function - A code block that contains a series
// of statements. A program causes the statements
// To be exucuted by calling the function
// and specifying anya required parameters.
// void function a function that does NOT have a
// return value.
// function type - the type of value the function
// returns
// function name - The name you call the function
// parameter - Information that is passed into functions
// A parameter acts as a variable inside a function
greeting("Cole");
greeting("John");
void greeting(String name)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello " + name);
}
// name is not valid. You cannot use name here. :(
}
//TEACHER'S COMMENT:
//Put your function outside of the main function scope
//Put "public static" before the return type.
//Example below:
//public static void greeting(String name) { /* Your code goes here */ }
}
Methods inside other methods, are called Local functions (C# Programming Guide) and are available since C# 7.0.
.NET fiddle is apparently not supporting C# 7.0 when you select the .NET 4.7.2 compiler. Select either the .NET 5 or the Roslyn 3.8 complier or alternatively move the function out of the
Main
method to the class-level and make it static (because you are calling it fromMain
which is static as well).
