What is a statement ?

Jose Patricio

Hi there,

I've started reading Head first c#, It's given me an example to what a statement is.

Messagebox.show("Contact list 1.0", "About");

I'm just wondering is the entire line above a statement ? And if so is any line of code considered a statement ?
Also messagebox is a class right, and .show would be a method with this as it's parameters " ("Contact list 1.0", "About");" ?

Thanks.

For example, this line is regarded as a directive rather than a statement:
