C#.NET Basics details with explanation

Here's an explanation of some of the basics of C# programming in .NET:

 

1. C# Language Basics:

·         C# is a modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. It is widely used for developing various types of applications targeting the .NET framework.

·         C# is statically typed, which means variables must be declared with their data type before they can be used.

·         C# uses curly braces `{ }` to define blocks of code, such as for classes, methods, loops, and conditional statements.

 

2. Variables and Data Types:

·         Variables are used to store data in memory. In C#, you need to declare a variable before using it.

·         C# provides various built-in data types, such as `int` (integer), `float` (floating-point number), `string` (text), `bool` (boolean), etc.

·         Example variable declaration: `int age = 25;`

·         You can also use the `var` keyword to declare variables with implicit type inference: `var name = "John";`

 

3. Control Flow:

v  C# provides several control flow statements to control the execution of your program.

v  `if` statement: Executes a block of code if a specified condition is true.

v  `else` statement: Executes a block of code if the preceding `if` statement condition is false.

v  `switch` statement: Allows you to select one of many code blocks to execute based on a specified value.

v  `for` loop: Repeatedly executes a block of code a specific number of times.

v  `while` and `do-while` loops: Repeatedly execute a block of code while a specified condition is true.

 

4. Functions and Methods:

v  Functions in C# encapsulate a block of code that can be executed when called.

v  Functions can have input parameters and return values.

v  Example function declaration:

    

     int Add(int a, int b)

     {

         return a + b;

     }

    

v  You can call a function and use its return value in your code: `int result = Add(5, 3);`

 

5. Classes and Objects:

v  C# is an object-oriented language, and classes are fundamental building blocks.

v  A class is a blueprint for creating objects that have properties (data) and methods (functions).

v  Example class declaration:

    

     class Person

     {

         public string Name { get; set; }

         public int Age { get; set; }

 

         public void SayHello()

         {

             Console.WriteLine("Hello, my name is " + Name);

         }

     }

    

v  You can create objects (instances) of a class and access their properties and methods:

    

     Person person = new Person();

     person.Name = "John";

     person.Age = 25;

     person.SayHello();
