I ran into problem for my school assignment and it is to display
whatever in a meal.csv file, here is a code we are starting with. The
array string of itemDetails is where the data is store then passed into
array ReadLines, then in Main, it is passed to mealContent, but when I
tried Console.WriteLine(mealContent); it only prompted System.String[].
So how do I at least display it out in the command prompt. Thanks for
the help guys~ Source code is also attached
