Study Notes

Looping Concepts

Looping executes a sequence of statements repeatedly.
While Loop continues execution as long as a specified condition remains true.
DoWhile Loop resembles a While Loop but checks its condition after the loop body executions.
For Loop performs a series of statements repeatedly, managing the loop variable within a compact structure.

Math Class Overview

Contains various methods for performing mathematical calculations efficiently.
Methods are accessed using "Math" followed by a dot and the method name (e.g., Math.MethodName(arguments)).
All Math methods return a data type of double, ensuring precise mathematical results.

Key Math Methods

E() returns the base of natural logarithms as a double.
PI() provides the value of π (pi) as a double.
Abs() calculates the absolute value of a number.
Ceiling(double) identifies the smallest integer greater than the specified value.
Cos(double) computes the cosine of an angle in radians.
Exp(double) evaluates e raised to a specified power.
Floor(double) finds the largest integer less than the specified value.
Log(double) gives the natural logarithm of the specified value.
Max(int, int) returns the higher of two given values.
Min(int, int) returns the lower of two specified values.
Pow(int, int) computes a number raised to a specified power.
Round(double) rounds a number to the nearest integer.
Sign(int) returns the sign of a given value.
Sin(double) finds the sine of an angle in radians.
Sqrt(double) returns the square root of a value.
Tan(double) determines the tangent of an angle in radians.
Truncate(double) discards fractional digits and returns the integer portion.
Acos() calculates the angle whose cosine equals a specified value.
Asin() computes the angle corresponding to a specified sine value.
Atan() provides the angle corresponding to a specified tangent value.
DivRem() calculates both the quotient and the remainder of two numbers.

Arrays in C#

Arrays store collections of data with a fixed size, requiring elements to be of the same data type.
Elements are accessed through specific indices in the array.
One Dimensional Arrays provide the simplest storage format, listing elements in order.
Array length indicates how many values can be stored.

Array Declaration and Initialization

To declare an array, specify the data type and the name.
Declaring syntax is structured as: datatype[] arrayName;.
The indication or rank of an array is represented using square brackets [].
Initialization syntax for arrays follows: datatype[] arrayName = new datatype[size];, where "new" is the keyword to instantiate the array.

Array Usage

Accessing array elements involves indexing the array name.
Two primary steps for using an array are declaration/initialization and assigning/accessing values.

Selection Structures

Involves Boolean data types, relational operators for comparisons, and logical operators for forming complex conditions.
Boolean data types can only hold true or false values.
Relational operators compare operands, yielding boolean results based on conditions.
Logical operators create complex expressions involving multiple conditions.

Types of IF Structures

IF structure is a single-branch choice mechanism that executes a block of code if a condition is true.
IF/ELSE structure provides a two-branch option for executing one block of code if a condition is true, or another if false.
IF/ELSE IF/ELSE provides multiple branching options, allowing for complex decision-making.

Code Blocks and Grouping

Curly braces {} are used to group multiple statements in a code block.
Code blocks organize functionalities such as methods or classes, clarifying related code functionalities in C#.
