This interactive C# tutorial has 8 hands-on exercises. Estimated time: 15 minutes.

1. if and else — Standard if/else — no surprises.
2. else if chains — Chain multiple conditions.
3. Ternary operator — The ternary `? :` is a compact if/else expression:
4. switch statement — Match a single value against multiple cases.
5. switch expression (modern C#) — C# 8+ switch expression is terser and returns a value.
6. Logical operators — &&, ||, ! are short-circuit evaluated — right side is not evaluated if left side determines the result.
7. Null conditional and coalescing — C# has operators for null safety:
8. Pattern matching in if — C# 7+ `is` patterns match types and bind variables.
