What is the need of ToString() in C#?

Question

I'm using the below code in c sharp. But both the WriteLine statements are giving the same result 25. Then what is the need for converting Tostring in c sharp? Is there any special purpose? ``` using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace sample { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { int value = 25; Console.WriteLine(value.ToString()); Console.WriteLine(value); Console.ReadLine(); } } } ```

Accepted Answer

If I understand your question, the purpose of `ToString()` is to provide a consistent mechanism to convert objects to strings. In your `Console.WriteLine(value);` example you are using an Overloaded version of `WriteLine` that takes an `int`, but in the general case of using an `object` the system needs a mechanism of providing a textual representation.
