Namespace.ClassName.MethodName

So if I've understood Jeremy correctly, you type in something like:

System.Console.Write();

My interpretation is:

Namespace.ClassName.MethodName(parameterType parameterName);

or for multiple parameters:

Namespace.ClassName.MethodName(Parameter1Type Parameter1Name, Parameter2Type Parameter2Name);

Am I right?

Just to add - you can also have namespaces within namespaces and you can use aliases to shorten names and reduce typing. More info here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dfb3cx8s.aspx

(Just I thought I would add this, since I found it interesting)

By namespaces within namespaces, you mean nested namespaces? It's great I can do that, but it would be better if this video mentioned it since the following 4 questions includes something like "What is the namespace here: Adobe.Illustrator.Class.Method" I was trying to answer "Adobe" or "Illustrator" but I didn't find out 'till some researching that the answer was "Adobe.Illustrator" D:

Thank you Jonathan! wow I was stuck on that stupid question forever! I wish the video was a little bit more clear about the Nested NameSpaces.

I just typed in Adobe.Illustrator, but I wonder: on the page Jonathan mentions, it seems you have to define an alias to represent a namespace. In the quiz we don't see that an alias has been defined. Do we just assume it's an alias because there are 4 (instead of 3) words separated by periods?
