Counting Number Down In Console Application

    When I first learnt assembly language programming in college, I planned to write a programme which can count down a specified number , and I can still remember how tricky that was when you had to write such a programme in assembly language, but now in C#, you can achieve this just with some trivial code:

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        for (Int32 i = 0; i < 50; i++)
        {
            Console.Write("Counting {0}\r", i);
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200);
        }
    }
}

and in C#2.0, you can achieve the same thing using the following code:

using System;

class Program
{
    Int32 currentPos = Console.CursorTop;
    Console.CursorVisible = false; // Hide the cursor, so you don't see the flickering console output
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        for (Int32 i = 0; i < 50; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Counting {0}", i);
            Console.CursorTop = currentPos;
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200);
        }
    }
}
