C# Beyond Basics

1. Additional Structures & File Handling

In this section we will learn data structures like Lists and Dictionaries. We will also learn how to read and write files. In the end we will look at how to deal with unexpected errors which can occur during the program's execution.

What are Lists?

Practicing List Declaration

List Methods

What are Dictionaries?

Practicing Dictionaries

Reading Files using StreamReader

Reading Files using File Methods

Writing Files

Error Handling

2. Structs & Enumerators

In this section we will learn about some more advanced structures for storing data, namely Structs and Enumerators. We will learn how to use them and we will look at some practice examples as well.

What are Structs?

Defining & Using a Structure

Practicing Structs

Structs with Other Data Structures

Struct Methods

Correctly Accessing Fields in Struct Methods

Practicing Methods

Struct Constructors

3. Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

In this section, we will learn what Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is and how we can create programs that use the concept of OOP. We will also practice this concept with many hands-on tasks that are fun to solve.

What is Object-Oriented Programming?

Defining Classes

Practice: Creating Classes

Class Objects

Class Objects vs Struct Objects

Practice: Constructors

4. OOP Essentials

In this section, we delve deeper into the essentials of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). We explore advanced topics to enhance your understanding and proficiency in OOP. From managing object lifecycles through destructors to refining class structures with access modifiers, and harnessing the power of derived classes and method overloading, this section equips you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to design robust and flexible object-oriented systems.

5. OOP Principles

This will be a detailed chapter in which we will dive deep into the main principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). We will also look at many practical applications and hands-on examples of these principles to understand them better. In this section we will revise some of the concepts from the previous section in a bit more detail and combine the concepts together to understand it more thoroughly.

Struct Methods

A structure can also have methods apart from data fields. In a Struct, we create a method similar to how we create a method in general:

index.cs

For-example:

index.cs

In the Player structure we have a method called displayScore which displays a formatted output message containing the name and score. It is important to note that the name and score values will be different for each object (instance), which means that the displayScore method will show a different output for each object.

We can access and execute the method using the variableName.methodName() syntax. Let's look at how we will use the Player structure:

index.cs

In the example, two objects were created using the Player class and some data was assigned to them. The displayScore method was called using each object and the output turned out to be different for each of them.

We can also have methods with some parameters. Let's add a new method called "addScore" which increases the score by a specified amount and try using it:

index.cs

You can see from the output that the method updates the score by 70 points.

1. Which is a valid keyword for declaring a method?

2. What will be the output of the following code?
