A Brief Source Code Analysis

---

We will go deeper into the C# syntax and structure in Chapter 3, "A Guided Tour through C#: Part I" but, for now it can be educational to have a quick look through the source code and compare it with the pseudocode provided in Listing 2.2. This listing is the Shakespeare.cs program written in pseudocode and with line numbers corresponding exactly to Listing 2.1. In other words, line 1 of Listing 2.2 briefly explains line 1 of Listing 2.1, line 2 of Listing 2.2 explains line 2 of Listing 2.1, and so on.
