The first argument is the string to be printed, and within the string the sequences in braces are placeholders that will be replaced with the values supplied by the other arguments. The number inside the braces indicates which argument to use, counting from 0. So "{0}" will be replaced by the value of the first argument, which will be Dave's age in this case.

So for this example code:

Dave.age = 25;
Console.WriteLine("Dave's age is {0}", Dave.age);

The output will be:

Dave's age is 25
