Question

On MSDN I found:

In C#, every executed instruction is done so in the context of a method.

But I also read that an int A=5; statement can be in the class body. It seems it’s not in a method body, so why this is possible? It is probably just term confusion but I would like to know.

Answer 1

class Example
{
    int A = 5;
}

is equal to

class Example
{
    int A;

    public Example()
    { 
        A = 5;
    }
}

So the assignment is still part of a method (the constructor).
