The new view engine will reduce number of characters to code and easy to learn. Let's see few examples using Razor:


In earlier version for Code blocks:
Hi <%= id %> (or) <%= DateTime.Now.Month %>

In Razor:
@id (or) @DateTime.Now.Month

In earlier version for for loops:
<% for(int i=0; i< 10; i++) { %>
<p><%= i %> </p>
<% } %>

In Razor:

@for(int i=0; i< 10;i++){
<p>@i</p>
}

@id (or) @DateTime.Now.Month
