Introduction to C#
What is C#? C# (pronounced "C sharp") is a general-purpose, modern programming language developed by Microsoft as part of its .NET framework. It was first introduced in 2000 and has since become one of the primary languages used for building Windows desktop applications, web applications, and other software solutions on the Microsoft platform. C# is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language that combines the power and flexibility of C++ with the simplicity and ease of use of Visual Basic. It is designed to be a simple, efficient, and type-safe language that enables developers to create robust and scalable applications. Some key features of C# include: • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): C# supports fundamental OOP concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, allowing developers to create modular and reusable code. • Type Safety: C# enforces strict type checking, which helps prevent errors and promotes code reliability. • Garbage Collection: C# includes automatic memory management through a garbage collector, which frees developers from managing memory manually. • Language Integration: C# integrates seamlessly with other .NET languages, allowing developers to leverage existing libraries and components. • Rich Standard Library: C# provides a comprehensive standard library that offers a wide range of functionality for common tasks, including input/output operations, network programming, and database access. • Platform Independence: While C# was initially designed for Windows development, it has expanded its reach through cross-platform frameworks like .NET Core and Xamarin, enabling developers to build applications that run on multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Overall, C# is a versatile language that empowers developers to build a variety of software applications, from desktop applications and web services to mobile apps and games, using the .NET framework.

Classes and objects
Classes and objects In C#, classes and objects are fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP). They provide a way to define the structure and behavior of objects, which are instances of classes. Here's an overview of classes and objects in C#:

About Lesson

CONTROL

Control structures in C# are used to control the flow of execution in a program based on certain conditions or loops. They allow you to make decisions, repeat code blocks, and execute different paths of code. Here are the main control structures in C#:

  1. If Statement:

The if statement allows you to execute a block of code conditionally based on a specified condition.

Example:

if (condition)

{

    // Code to execute if the condition is true

}

else

{

    // Code to execute if the condition is false

}

  1. Switch Statement:

The switch statement provides a way to execute different code blocks based on the value of a variable or an expression.

Example:

switch (variable)

{

    case value1:

        // Code to execute if variable matches value1

        break;

    case value2:

        // Code to execute if variable matches value2

        break;

    default:

        // Code to execute if variable doesn’t match any case

        break;

}

  1. While Loop:

 

The while loop repeatedly executes a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.

Example:

while (condition)

{

    // Code to execute while the condition is true

}

  1. Do-While Loop:

The do-while loop is similar to the while loop, but it executes the code block at least once before checking the condition.

Example:

do

{

    // Code to execute at least once

} while (condition);

  1. For Loop:

 

The for loop allows you to execute a block of code repeatedly for a specified number of times.

Example:

for (initialization; condition; iteration)

{

    // Code to execute in each iteration

}

  1. Foreach Loop:

The foreach loop is used to iterate over elements in a collection, such as an array or a list.

Example:

foreach (var item in collection)

{

    // Code to execute for each item in the collection

}

  1. Break Statement:

The break statement is used to exit a loop or terminate a switch statement prematurely.

Example:

while (true)

{

    if (condition)

    {

        break; // Exit the loop

    }

}

  1. Continue Statement:

The continue statement is used to skip the rest of the loop’s current iteration and move to the next iteration.

Example:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)

{

    if (i == 5)

    {

        continue; // Skip the rest of the code for this iteration

    }

    // Code to execute for each iteration except when i is 5

}
