Study Notes

Structs, Enums, Exceptions, and Files

  • Structs are value types used to group related variables (e.g., rectangle coordinates)
  • Structs use the struct keyword
  • Struct syntax is similar to classes but more limited
  • Structs can contain methods, properties, indexers, etc.
  • Structs cannot have default constructors, but can have parameterized constructors
  • Structs are instantiated without using the new keyword, unlike classes
  • Classes are for complex behavior and data that changes, structs are for simple data structures that don't change after creation
  • Structs are better for simpler data sets

Enums

  • Enums are programming constructs with named constants (enumerators)
  • Enums are similar to arrays but contain constant values
  • Enums use the enum keyword
  • Enum values are accessed using dot syntax (e.g., MyEnum.Value)
  • Enum values can be manually assigned, increasing by one from the previous value
  • Values are assigned to variables through type specification, in parentheses (e.g. int)

Exception Handling

  • Exceptions are problems, errors, or resource limitations during program execution
  • Exception handling prevents program crashes
  • try-catch statements handle exceptions
  • try block: code that may throw an exception
  • catch block: code executed if an exception occurs (specific exception type can be defined)
  • Multiple catch blocks can handle different exception types
  • Common exception types: FileNotFoundException, FormatException, IndexOutOfRangeException, InvalidOperationException, OutOfMemoryException
  • finally block: executes regardless of exceptions (often used for cleanup, like closing files)

Working with Files

  • The File class in System.IO handles file operations (creating, deleting, reading, writing)
  • WriteAllText() method writes content to a file, overwriting existing content
  • ReadAllText() method reads the entire content of a file
  • AppendAllText() method adds content to the end of a file
  • Create(), Delete(), Exists(), Copy(), and Move() methods perform various file operations
