How do I write characters to the console without line breaks?

Question

  string value = "test";             
         for (int i = 0; i < value.Length; i++)
         {                
             Console.WriteLine(value[i]);

         }

output of the program is:

t
e
s
t

I want the output would be "test"

If you want to output the whole string, then why are iterating over its individual characters in the first place? — Frédéric Hamidi, Jun 10 '16 at 17:01
I want to concatenate individual character so that it makes string. — Badruzzaman, Jun 10 '16 at 17:04
The value is already "test". No need for concatenation here. Or just use Write instead to output one character at a time to the console. — ManoDestra, Jun 10 '16 at 17:06

Use Console.Write()

string value = "test";             
     for (int i = 0; i < value.Length; i++)
     {                
         Console.Write(value[i]);

     }

No need for a loop at all:

string value = "test"; 
Console.WriteLine(value);

The reason as to why your output is printing on a different line is because of Console.WriteLine..

That needs to be changed to Console.Write

so the in the body of your for loop:

Console.Write(value[i]);

Maybe use Char Array instead of String, if you want to concentrate on each character.
But I would like to join my previous speakers to use

 Console.Write(value);

Please keep in mind, that your string has already the value test and there is no need to iterate through each char.
