In this chapter you will learn:

Multiple fields

For convenience, you may declare multiple fields of the same type in a comma-separated list.

This is a convenient way for all the fields to share the same attributes and field modifiers.

For example:

static readonly int field1 = 8, 
                    field2 = 1;
