    Study Notes

    C# Syntax

    • Variables and Data Types: declared using the let keyword, e.g., int x = 5;
    • Operators: arithmetic, comparison, logical, assignment, and bitwise operators
    • Control Flow: if-else statements, switch statements, loops (for, while, do-while), and jump statements (break, continue, return)
    • Methods: functions that can take arguments and return values, e.g., void PrintMessage(string message) { Console.WriteLine(message); }
    • Classes and Objects: define classes using the class keyword, e.g., public class Person { }

    Object-oriented Programming (OOP) in C#

    • Encapsulation: hiding internal implementation details using access modifiers (public, private, protected)
    • Inheritance: creating a new class based on an existing class using the : keyword, e.g., public class Employee : Person { }
    • Polymorphism: using methods with the same name but different parameters or return types
    • Abstraction: using abstract classes and interfaces to define contracts

    Data Types in C#

    • Value Types:
      • Integral: sbyte, byte, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong
      • Floating-point: float, double, decimal
      • Boolean: bool
      • Char: char
    • Reference Types:
      • Classes: class
      • Interfaces: interface
      • Delegates: delegate
      • Arrays: int[], string[], etc.
    • Nullable Types: using ? to indicate a type can be null, e.g., int? x = null;
    • Dynamic Types: using the dynamic keyword to bypass compile-time type checking

    C# Syntax

    • Variables and data types are declared using the let keyword.
    • Variables can be assigned a value using the assignment operator (=).
    • C# supports various operators, including:
      • Arithmetic operators (e.g., +, -, *, /)
      • Comparison operators (e.g., ==, !=, <, >)
      • Logical operators (e.g., &&, ||, !)
      • Assignment operators (e.g., +=, -=, *=)
      • Bitwise operators (e.g., &, |, ^)

    Control Flow

    • If-else statements are used for conditional execution of code.
    • Switch statements are used for executing different blocks of code based on the value of a variable.
    • Loops (for, while, do-while) are used for repetitive execution of code.
    • Jump statements (break, continue, return) are used to control the flow of code within loops and methods.

    Methods

    • Methods are functions that can take arguments and return values.
    • Methods can be declared using the void keyword for no return value.
    • Methods can be overloaded with different parameters.

    Classes and Objects

    • Classes define blueprints for objects.
    • Classes are declared using the class keyword.
    • Objects are instances of classes.

    Object-oriented Programming (OOP) in C#

    Encapsulation

    • Access modifiers (public, private, protected) are used to control access to class members.
    • Encapsulation hides internal implementation details of a class.

    Inheritance

    • Inheritance allows a new class to inherit properties and behavior from an existing class.
    • The : keyword is used to specify the base class.

    Polymorphism

    • Polymorphism allows methods with the same name to have different parameters or return types.
    • Method overriding and method overloading are examples of polymorphism.

    Abstraction

    • Abstraction defines contracts using abstract classes and interfaces.
    • Abstract classes and interfaces define a blueprint for other classes to follow.

    Data Types in C#

    Value Types

    • Integral data types: sbyte, byte, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong
    • Floating-point data types: float, double, decimal
    • Boolean data type: bool
    • Char data type: char

    Reference Types

    • Classes: class
    • Interfaces: interface
    • Delegates: delegate
    • Arrays: int[], string[], etc.

    Nullable Types

    • Nullable types can be assigned a null value using the ? keyword.
    • Nullable types are used to indicate that a value can be null.

    Dynamic Types

    • The dynamic keyword bypasses compile-time type checking.
    • Dynamic types are used for dynamic binding and late binding.

    C# Basics

    • Variables and data types are declared using the type variable_name syntax, e.g., int x;
    • C# supports various operators, including arithmetic, comparison, logical, assignment, and bitwise operators, e.g., a + b, a == b, a &amp;&amp; b
    • Control flow statements include if-else statements, switch statements, while loops, for loops, and do-while loops, e.g., if (condition) { code }, while (condition) { code }
    • Methods are declared using the return_type method_name syntax, e.g., int Add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
    • Classes are declared using the class keyword, e.g., public class MyClass { }

    Object-oriented Programming (OOP) in C#

    Classes and Objects

    • Classes define the blueprint for objects, which represent real-world entities or concepts
    • Objects are instances of classes, with their own set of attributes (data) and methods (functions)

    Inheritance

    • A child class can inherit properties and behavior from a parent class using the : keyword, e.g., public class ChildClass : ParentClass { }
    • Inheritance enables code reuse and facilitates a hierarchical organization of classes

    Polymorphism

    • Methods can be overridden or overloaded to provide different implementations, e.g., public class Animal { public virtual void Sound() { } }
    • Polymorphism allows for more flexibility and generic code

    Abstraction

    • Abstract classes and interfaces define abstract methods and properties, e.g., public abstract class Animal { public abstract void Sound(); }
    • Abstraction helps to focus on essential features and hide implementation details

    Encapsulation

    • Classes can hide internal implementation details using access modifiers (public, private, protected), e.g., public class MyClass { private int myField; }
    • Encapsulation promotes data hiding and reduces coupling between classes

    Data Types in C#

    Value Types

    • Stored in memory, e.g., int, bool, float, char, enum
    • Value types are copied when passed to methods, and changes do not affect the original value

    Reference Types

    • Stored as references to memory, e.g., class, interface, delegate, string
    • Reference types are passed by reference to methods, and changes affect the original value

    Nullable Types

    • Allow value types to be null, e.g., int?, bool?
    • Nullable types are useful for handling uncertain or missing data

    Primitive Types

    • Basic types, e.g., int, bool, float, char
    • Primitive types are built-in and cannot be broken down further

    Complex Types

    • Composite types, e.g., class, struct, enum
    • Complex types are composed of multiple values or objects

    Type Conversion

    • Implicit and explicit conversions between types, e.g., int to float, string to int
    • Type conversions are necessary for assigning values of one type to variables of another type
