Is System.Console only necessary in workspaces?

I am following along with the course using Visual Studio 2015 which does not require System.Console just Console. is this just code simplification by the IDE or is System only necessary with the workspaces compiler?

So visual understands your'e doing a System related command? Sounds like bad practice, I don't think Eclipse does any of that.

Hi Michael,

I see that you managed to figure it out which is awesome! If you ever see the 'using' keyword up at the top of a C# file then you know that you don't have to use that namespace in order to reference any classes or functions it may contain.

Good job on figuring it out and happy coding!
