    Study Notes

    C# Programming Language

    • C# is a programming language developed by Microsoft, running on the .NET framework.
    • C# was announced at the .NET Developers Conference in 2000.
    • Anders Hejlsberg was a key contributor in the development of C#.

    C++ Programming Language

    • C++ builds upon the C programming language, offering more advanced capabilities.
    • C++ is considered an intermediate-level language.

    Programming Concepts

    • Programming languages are structured, human-readable forms of communication between humans and computers.
    • High-level languages use English words and/or mathematical symbols for programming.

    C# Syntax and Elements

    • Semicolon: Every C# statement ends with a semicolon (;).
    • using System;: This statement imports the System namespace, allowing the use of its classes, such as Console.
    • public static void Main(): This is the entry point for a C# console program.
    • Console.WriteLine(): This method outputs text to the console, including a new line at the end.
    • Console.Write(): This method outputs text to the console, without a new line at the end.
    • { }: These curly braces mark the beginning and end of a block of code.
    • .cs: This is the file extension for C# files.
    • Blank Lines: Blank lines make code more readable and are ignored by C#.

    C# Data Types

    • string: Used to store text.
    • int: Used to store whole numbers from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
    • char: Used to store a single character.

    C# Operators

    • + (Addition): Used to add two values together.
    • - (Subtraction): Used to find the difference between two values.
    • % (Modulus): Used to get the remainder of a division operation.

    C# Comments

    • // (Single-line comments): Used to comment out a single line of code.

    C# Variables and Identifiers

    • Identifiers: Unique names used to identify variables, methods, and other elements in code.
    • Short Variable Names: a and b are examples of concise variable names.
    • Descriptive Variable Names: name, average, and sum are examples of descriptive variable names that communicate their purpose.

    C# Constants

    • Constants are unchangeable values that are declared using the const keyword. They will overwrite existing values.

    C# Flowcharts

    • False: A parallelogram represents a process in a flowchart.
    • True: A line connects the shapes in a flowchart, showing relationships between them.
    • False: Pseudocode is a programming concept, not a language similar to Spanish.

    C# Methods and Arguments

    • args: In the context of Main() method, args refers to an array of strings that can potentially be used to pass arguments to the program from the command line.
