Study Notes

C# Basics

C# is a versatile, high-level programming language designed for both beginners and experienced developers alike. As a pure object-oriented programming language, it emphasizes the use of objects to model real-world entities and interactions, promoting code reuse and modular design.

Developed by Microsoft in the early 2000s, C# has become a central part of the .NET Framework, which provides a robust environment for building various applications, including web, desktop, and mobile applications. The language was architected by Anders Hejlsberg, a prominent figure in computer programming, along with his dedicated team, who aimed to create a language that not only improves productivity but also maintains high performance and reliability.

In C#, keywords play an essential role in defining the structure and flow of the code. With a total of 79 keywords, each reserved word has a specific meaning and function within the language. It is important to note that all the keywords in C# are in lowercase, which helps to differentiate them from user-defined identifiers, thereby providing clarity and reducing ambiguity in the code. As you delve deeper into C#, understanding these keywords and their functionalities is crucial for mastering the language and effectively utilizing its features.

is a modern, versatile programming language that is widely used for application development across various platforms. As a key component of the .NET ecosystem, it offers a rich set of features that support both desktop and web applications, as well as mobile app development through frameworks like Xamarin. Its syntax is similar to other C-based languages, such as C++ and Java, making it relatively accessible for developers familiar with those languages. C# employs a strong type system and supports various programming paradigms, including imperative, functional, and generic programming, allowing for flexibility and code reusability. Additionally, C# is continuously evolving, with regular updates that introduce new language features and enhancements to improve performance and developer productivity. is a pure object-oriented programming language.

  • Developed by Microsoft, it is part of the .NET Framework.
  • C# was created by Anders Hejlsberg and his team at Microsoft.
  • Keywords:
    • C# has 79 keywords that are reserved and have specific meanings.
    • All keywords are in lowercase.
    • You can use keywords as identifiers by adding the prefix "@" (e.g., int @void;).
  • Variable Declaration Syntax:
    • data_type variable_name;
    • Example: int i, j, k;
  • Variable Initialization
    • Use the assignment operator = followed by a constant expression.
    • Example: int d = 3, f = 5;
  • Accepting Values from User:
    • Use the Console.ReadLine() method to accept input from the user.
    • Example: String name=Console.ReadLine();
    • The input is received as a string, so convert it to the desired data type using methods like Convert.ToInt32() or Int32.Parse().

Data Types

  • Definition: Data types specify the size and type of value a variable can store.
  • Operators:
    • Used to manipulate variables and values.
    • Categories:
      • Unary: Requires one operand. Example: i++, -9.
      • Binary: Requires two operands. Example: a + b.
      • Ternary: Conditional operator. Example: a > b ? a : b .

Arithmetic Operators

  • Used for arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus.

OperatorNameExample+Addition6 + 3 evaluates to 9-Subtraction10 - 6 evaluates to 4*Multiplication4 * 2 evaluates to 8/Division10 / 5 evaluates to 2%Modulus (Remainder)16 % 3 evaluates to 1

Relational Operators

  • Used to compare two operands.
  • Result is either true or false.
  • Used in decision-making and loops.

Type Inference

  • The compiler automatically determines the data type of an expression.
  • Uses the var keyword.
  • Example: var nm = 'A'; (The compiler infers nm is of type character).

Boxing and Unboxing

  • Boxing: Converting a value type (stored on the stack) to a reference type (stored on the heap).
    • Implicit conversion.
    • Creates a copy of the value.
    • Example: int i = 10; object ob = i;
  • Unboxing: Converting a reference type to a value type.
    • Explicit conversion using casting.
    • Extracts the value from the reference type.
    • Example: object ob = 10; int i = (int)ob;

Console Input Output

  • The Console class in the System namespace is used for input and output.
  • Methods:
    • Console.WriteLine(): Writes a string to the command prompt and moves to the next line.
    • Console.Write(): Writes a string to the command prompt but stays on the same line.
  • Example:
Console.WriteLine("Prints on ");
Console.WriteLine("New line");
Console.Write("Prints on ");
Console.Write("Same line");
  • Combining Strings:
    • Use the + operator to concatenate strings.
    • Example: Console.WriteLine("Hello " + name);

LINQ Syntax

  • LINQ can be used for querying data from various sources.
  • Example: var variablename = value; (where value is the result of a LINQ query)
