Study Notes

Fields and Properties

  • Fields are declared within a class declaration, not outside.
  • Properties can be accessed via get and set accessors without needing to call them explicitly.
  • A property without a set accessor is read-only, preventing assignment of new values.

Literal Types and Formatting

  • Decimal literals require 'M' or 'm' at the end of real numbers to specify their type.
  • The format specifier in WriteLine is included using the syntax { 0:z }.

Data Types and Usage

  • The correct order of data types from fewest to most significant digits is: float, double, decimal.
  • For monetary values, the recommended type is decimal due to precision.
  • Double variables are preferred for larger magnitude and finer detail compared to floats.

Class Structure and Diagrams

  • Class diagrams do not need to show every implementation detail; they help in the design process.
  • Each object of a class is unique based on the values and references it holds, despite sharing the same structure.

Access Modifiers and Methods

  • Private variables can be accessed from within the same class, through properties, or specific methods of the class.
  • An object's property can utilize both get and set accessors to manage its value.
  • Method signatures in UML are represented with a '+' followed by the method name and parameter types.

Constructors and Class Relationships

  • A constructor is used to initialize a new instance of a class.
  • Programs or applications typically consist of one or more classes.

Type Conversion

  • Strings can be converted into integers using the method Convert.ToInt32.

Truth Statements

  • UML notation represents instance variables and properties as attributes, marking them as true.
  • Statements about class properties and the nature of C# as an extensible language can vary, indicating specific features or misconceptions in understanding.
