How do I Initialize bookTitle with the title of my favorite book?

I'm sure there's more than one way to do it, but what's the most common way on how developers do it?

String bookTitle =   "My book title";

Thing is, it is just a declaration of String variable and assigning it a value. There is only one way of doing so. However, there are different STYLES of writing a code, you can use camelCasing or snake_case, you can write methods with curly braces starting in line with method declaration

static void Main(){
   string someCode =  "here";
}
// or
static void Main()
{
   string some_code =  "here" ;
}
// or if you making a very small method
static void Main() { string someCode = "here" }

I've heard stories of competitions that were run at the beginning of programming era when competitors had to write the most unreadable code.

Hope my answer helped, Alex
