Description

In the Static constructors section, the first example is

public class Adult : Person
{
   private static int minimumAge;

   public Adult(string lastName, string firstName) : base(lastName, firstName)
   { }

   static Adult() => minimumAge = 18;

   // Remaining implementation of Adult class.
}

However based on the context, I think the first example should be the following code since the second example employs the expression body definition.

public class Adult : Person
{
   private static int minimumAge;

   public Adult(string lastName, string firstName) : base(lastName, firstName)
   { }

   static Adult() 
   {
      minimumAge = 18; // Here is the change I propose.
   }

   // Remaining implementation of Adult class.
}

What do you think of it?
