I tried it with both the command line compiler and visual studio.
It gets hung up on the ConsoleWrite(j); under the class ScopeTest2.
The error is as follows

ScopeTest2.cs(8,34): error
CS1519: Invalid token '(' in class, struct, or interface member declaration
ScopeTest2.cs(8,36): error
CS1519: Invalid token ')' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

I delete the ConsoleWrite(j); statement and it compiles fine.
I also tried replacing ConsoleWrite(j); with j = j + 1; and it didn't like that either.

I'm thinking that this section of code is for defining and initializing variables and not for operations.

Today is my first day with C# so I'm looking for help.
Thanks

Could you please post the code ::: Waiting for response
