Study Notes

Chapter 3: Types

  • C# allows for defining custom types beyond built-in data types.
  • All code in C# must reside within a type.
  • The most common type is a class, which can contain both code and data.
  • Classes use encapsulation to separate public interface from internal implementation.
  • C# distinguishes between public and internal accessibility. Internal classes are accessible within the same assembly but inaccessible from outside.

Classes

  • Classes hold both code and data.
  • Some class features are made public while others remain internal.
  • Encapsulation protects internal implementation from outside interference.
  • C# classes use public and internal visibility modifiers.
  • internal classes are only accessible within the same assembly (like a component).
  • Classes can optionally specify accessibility modifiers.

Naming Conventions

  • Class names are capitalized (e.g., Counter).
  • Multiple-word class names use Pascal casing (e.g., CounterWithPrimaryConstructor).

Example 3-1: Simple Class

  • A Counter class with a private _count field and a public GetNextValue method increments and returns the count.
  • The example demonstrates encapsulation, where the internal state (count) is accessed only through a public method.
  • public classes are accessible throughout the application.
  • internal classes are only accessible within the same assembly (or component).
  • Instance fields are variables within the class scope.

Example 3-2: Using a Custom Class

  • An instance of a class is created using the new keyword.
  • Example utilizes a Counter class instance.
  • Output shows the incrementing count.

Example 3-3: Class with Primary Constructor

  • A CounterWithPrimaryConstructor class with a primary constructor is shown that takes an int parameter count.
  • The _count field now accepts a value provided in the constructor, meaning the count will not always start at 0.

Example 3-4: Using Multiple Instances

  • Multiple instances of a class with a primary constructor (CounterWithPrimaryConstructor) are shown, demonstrating each has an independent count.

Example 3-5: Class with Static Members

  • A CounterWithTotal is shown with _count (instance) and _totalCount (static) fields.
  • These members maintain a count across instances.
  • static members are associated with the class, not individual instances.
