What is a statement ?

Question

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.

Yes it is correct what you said about a statement method and parameters.

There are some lines of code which are not executable and so are not considered to be statements. For example this line is regarded as a directive rather than a statement: using System.Windows.Forms;
