Study Notes
Classes Overview
- Classes serve as blueprints for creating objects within a program, encapsulating attributes and methods.
- Programmers can create classes in the current file or in a separate file within the solution explorer.
Class Instantiation
- Instantiation involves creating an instance of a class to utilize it in a program.
- Syntax example:
ClassName Identifier = new ClassName();(e.g.,Arithmetic a = new Arithmetic();).
Access Modifiers
- Access modifiers determine the accessibility of classes, variables, and methods.
Class Access Modifiers
- Default/Internal: Class can only be accessed within the same assembly, not from other assemblies.
- Public: Class can be accessed from any other class.
Methods and Variables Access Modifiers
- Default/Private: Accessible only within its own class.
- Public: Methods and variables can be accessed from any class.
- Internal: Accessible only within the same assembly.
- Protected: Accessible only in the same class or in derived classes.
Static Classes
- Static classes cannot be instantiated and must only contain static methods and variables.
Static Methods and Variables
- Belong to the class itself rather than to instances, meaning they are shared across all instances of the class.
