Previously we looked at why variables are categorized as either “value types”, or “reference types” (primarily for memory reasons). Now lets take a look at these variables in action, starting with the string variable. String variables We already encountered string variables when we created the “message” string variable in our […]

Here’s a quick a simple class for creating a a series of random numbers, by creating an instance of the “Random” class, and applying this class’s next() method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.random%28v=vs.110%29.aspx Here is the code: [csharp] using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace RandomNumberGenerator { class Program { […]

C# is a object oriented language, and that means that whenever we declare a new variable, we are actually using a class that generates (aka instantiates) that variable for us. Let’s says that somewhere in our program we have the following statement: int MyFavouriteNumber = 7 ; Here we are […]

Here are some terminologies: Arrays: This is a object variable, that is designed to store a collection of object-variable. Each object variable is stored in numbered containers (i.e. they are indexed), with the first container starting at number 0. Generics: these are like arrays, but they can only store builtin […]

As mentioned earlier, a method is a block of code that performs a specific task. Methods can require some information in order for it to run. This info has to be provided in the form of an “input parameter” Methods can also output information after it has completed running. This […]

Arrays are used to store a a group of items as a collection: [csharp] using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace Arrays { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { // Here we are creating an array called "vowels", that can house up to 5 […]

In most case a c# file (aka .cs) will contain several (or hundreds of classes). After you have compiled it into an .exe file and double click on it. c# will need to know which part of the c# code needs to run first. You may some a code block […]

Arrays have a big limitation is that you cant extend the array to hold more than the number items it was originally defined to hold. As a result a lot of people uses “lists” as an alternative. You can find the lists class in the following namespace: System.Collections.Generic Here is […]

C# is a powerfull object oriented program language. It is heavily engineered programming language. In this tutorials you are going to learn all kinds of things. In our tutorials we will show you a lot of things that won’t make a lot of things until much later. That’s why we […]
