Study Notes
Data Types
- Int: used for whole numbers
- Double: used for decimal numbers
- Float: used for decimal numbers
- Boolean: used for true or false values
- String: used for text data
Control Structures
- Conditional Statements: used to control the flow of a program
- If statements: used to make decisions in a program
- Switch cases: used to make decisions based on multiple conditions
- Looping Statements: used to repeat a block of code
- For loop: used to repeat a block of code for a specified number of iterations
- While loop: used to repeat a block of code while a condition is true
- Do-While loop: used to repeat a block of code while a condition is true
- Nested loop: a loop inside another loop
Visual Programming Benefits
- Provides the ability to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs)
- Allows programmers to write less code
- Does not require the programmer to be a Windows expert
- Provides Rapid Application Development (RAD) – code can be developed faster and cheaper
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts
- Classes: templates used to create new objects
- Objects: instances of a class, have properties, methods, and events
- Properties: describe the characteristics of an object
- Methods: actions that can be performed on an object
- Events: occur when the user takes an action on an object
- Object Model Analogy: Class = automobile, Properties = make, model, color, year, Object = individual car, Methods = start, stop, speedup, slowdown, Events = car arrives, car crashes
Input Method
- Console.ReadLine(): a function used to get user input
- Convert String to Int: using Convert.ToInt32(string) or int.Parse(string)
Constant Variable
- A constant variable is a variable that cannot be changed once it is assigned a value
- Defined using the "const" keyword
Mathematical and Logical Calculations
- Used for conditional statements and loop conditions
- Examples: if (a > b || b == 18), if (a > b && b == 18)
Decision Making
- Using if-else statements and switch cases to make decisions in a program
Looping and Repetition
- Types of loops: for, while, do-while
- Used to repeat a block of code for a specified number of iterations or while a condition is true
This quiz covers the basics of data types and control structures in programming, including conditional statements and looping statements.
