Unit-1

Introduce C#, its features and applications


C# is pronounced "C-Sharp".
It is an object-oriented programming language created by Microsoft that runs on
the .NET Framework.
C# has roots from the C family, and the language is close to other popular
languages like C++ and Java.
The first version was released in year 2002. The latest version, C# 8, was released
in September 2019.

C# is used for:
● Mobile applications
● Desktop applications
● Web applications
● Web services
● Web sites
● Games
● VR
● Database applications
● And much, much more
Reasons to use c#
● It is one of the most popular programming language in the world
● It is easy to learn and simple to use
● It has a huge community support
● C# is an object oriented language which gives a clear structure to programs
and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs
● As C# is close to C, C++ and Java, it makes it easy for programmers to
switch to C# or vice versa

Visual Studio Code


Visual Studio Code, also commonly referred to as VS Code, is a source-code editor made
by Microsoft with the Electron Framework, for Windows, Linux and macOS. Features include support
for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, and embedded Git. Users can change
the theme, keyboard shortcuts, preferences, and install extensions that add functionality. The Visual
Studio IDE is a creative launching pad that you can use to edit, debug, and build code, and then publish
an app.
1.2 Structure of C#
using System;

namespace HelloWorld
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}
}
}

Example explaination

1 using System means that we can use classes from the System namespace.

2: namespace is used to organize your code, and it is a container for classes and
other namespaces.

3: The curly braces {} marks the beginning and the end of a block of code.

4: class is a container for data and methods. Every line of code that runs in C#
must be inside a class. In our example, we named the class Program.

5: The Main method: Any code inside its curly brackets {} will be executed

6: Console is a class of the System namespace, which has a WriteLine() method


that is used to print text. In our example it will output "Hello World!".

Note: Every C# statement ends with a semicolon ;.

Note: When saving the file, save it using a proper name and add ".cs" to the end of
the filename.
1.3 C# Variables
A variable is nothing but a name given to a storage area that our programs can
manipulate. Each variable in C# has a specific type, which determines the size and
layout of the variable's memory the range of values that can be stored within that
memory and the set of operations that can be applied to the variable.
Rules to create variable name:
● The name can contain letters, digits, and the underscore character (_).
● The first character of the name must be a letter or underscore. C# is
case-sensitive;
● C# keywords can't be used as variable names.
● Syntax: type variableName = value;
Example string name = "Rohit";

1.4 C# identifier
In programming languages, identifiers are used for identification purposes. Or in
other words, identifiers are the user-defined name of the program components. In
C#, an identifier can be a class name, method name, variable name, or label.
Rules for defining identifiers in C#:

● The only allowed characters for identifiers are all alphanumeric


characters([A-Z], [a-z], [0-9]), ‘_‘ (underscore).
● Identifiers should not start with digits([0-9
● Identifiers should not contain white spaces.

● Identifiers are not allowed to use as keywords unless they include @ as a


prefix. For example, @as is a valid identifier, but “as” is not because it is a
keyword.
● C# identifiers allow Unicode Characters.
● C# identifiers are case-sensitive.
● C# identifiers cannot contain more than 512 characters.
● Identifiers do not contain two consecutive underscores in their name because
such types of identifiers are used for the implementation.
C# Keywords
Keywords are predefined sets of reserved words that have special meaning in
a program. The meaning of keywords can not be changed, neither can they
be directly used as identifiers in a program. C# has a total of 79 keywords. All
these keywords are in lowercase

Abstract As base bool

Break Byte case catch

Char Checked class const

Continue Decimal default delegate

Do Double else enum

Event Explicit extern false

Finally Fixed float for

Foreach Goto if implicit

in (generic
In int interface
modifier)

Internal Is lock long

Namespace New null object

out (generic
Operator Out override
modifier)

Params Private protected public

Readonly Ref return sbyte

Sealed Short sizeof stackalloc

Static String struct switch


This Throw true try

Typeof Uint ulong unchecked

using
Unsafe Ushort using
static

Void Volatile while

Keywords can be used as identifiers if @ is added as prefix.
