Need help with this using a function in C#

[WellHelloThere]

I seem to get this error when I compile my code:

Error 1 'ConsoleApplication1.Class1.COUT()' is inaccessible due to its protection level

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Class1
    {
        void COUT()
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine("Hello");
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Class1.COUT();
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(30000);
        }
    }
}

[cpp]
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Class1
{
// needs to be static if you want it usable without an instance of Class1
// needs to be designated public, it's private (internal to class only) by default
public static void COUT()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Hello");
}
}
}[/cpp]

More importantly though, why the heck is your static member function named COUT in all-caps? :v:

Thanks for the help. And the reason why it's COUT is because my function is better than the WriteLine function.

No it's not it only does one thing
