String Interpolation Missing '$'

[tjmccoy]

Type of issue

Typo

Description

Consider the following code snippet from example 3:

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Square square = new Square("red", 5);
Console.WriteLine("Area of the square: {square.CalculateArea()}");
}

The Console.WriteLine statement is missing '$' to use string interpolation, so the area is not being printed, but rather "{square.CalculateArea()}".
