An Overview of the C# Programming

Definition of C#
● C# is a modern, object-oriented programming language developed by
Microsoft. It is widely used for building Windows applications, games,
and web applications through the .NET framework. C# combines the
power of C++ and the ease of Java, making it a popular choice for
developers.
Basic C# Syntax
● Here are some basic syntax rules in C#:
● - Variable declaration: int number = 5;
● - Data types: int, float, string, bool
● - Operators: +, -, *, /, %
● C# syntax is similar to other C-based languages like Java and C++.
Arrays in C#
● An array in C# is a collection of elements of the same type stored in contiguous
memory.
● Example:
● int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
● Access elements by index, e.g., numbers[0] will return 1.
If Conditions in C#
● If conditions allow you to execute code based on specific conditions.
● Example:
● int age = 18;
● if (age >= 18) {
● Console.WriteLine("You are an adult.");
● } else {
● Console.WriteLine("You are a minor.");
● }
Example: Variable Declaration and
Initialization
● In C#, you can declare and initialize variables in a single statement.
● Example:
● int number = 10;
● string name = "Alice";
● bool isActive = true;
● Each variable is assigned a value based on its type.
Example: Basic Math Operations
● C# supports various arithmetic operations.
● Example:
● int a = 10;
● int b = 5;
● int sum = a + b; // sum = 15
● int product = a * b; // product = 50
● int quotient = a / b; // quotient = 2
● int remainder = a % b; // remainder = 0
Example: For Loop
● The 'for' loop is used for iterating over a sequence.
● Example:
● for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
● Console.WriteLine("Value of i: " + i);
● }
● Output:
● Value of i: 0
● Value of i: 1
● Value of i: 2
● Value of i: 3
● Value of i: 4
Example: Methods in C#
● Methods in C# allow you to encapsulate code into reusable functions.
● Example:
● public int AddNumbers(int a, int b) {
● return a + b;
●}
● Usage:
● int result = AddNumbers(3, 4); // result = 7
Any Question?
Thank you
