Contents
• Variables and Expressions– Comments– Variables– Expressions– Operators– Namespaces
• Flow Control– if, switch– while, do-while, for, foreach– Binary operators
2
Basic C# Syntax
• White spaces (space, carriage return, tab) are ignored by the C# compiler
• Statements are terminated with a semicolon (;)• C# code is case-sensitive• C# is a block-structured language and blocks are
delimited with curly brackets (‘{’ and ‘}’)• Please indent your code so that your code
becomes more readable• Write comments while writing the codes
3
Comments• Type I/* Single line comment *//* Multi- Line Comment */
• Type II// Another single line commenta = 0; // Initialize the count
• Type III/// Special comments used for documentation
4
Variables
• Think variables as boxes to store data in them• Variables have types, names, and values
int num = 5;• Here, int is the type, num is the name, and 5 is
the value of the variable• All variables should be declared before using
them
5
Simple Types
• Simple types include types such as numbers and Boolean (true or false) values
• There are several types to represent numbers, because different amount of bytes are required for each type
6
Integer TypesType Alias for Allowed Values # of bytes
sbyte System.SByte Integer between –128 and 127 1
byte System.Byte Integer between 0 and 255 1
short System.Int16 Integer between –32768 to 32767 2
ushort System.UInt16 Integer between 0 and 65535 2
int System.Int32 Integer between –2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647 4
uint System.UInt32 Integer between 0 and 4,294,967,295 4
long System.Int64 Integer between –9223372036854775808 and 9223372036854775807 8
ulong System.UInt64 Integer between 0 and 18446744073709551615 8
7u: unsigned s: signed
Floating-Point Value TypesType Alias for Range # of bytes
float System.Single 4
double System.Double 8
decimal System.Decimal 16
8
PrecisionsType Precision
float 7-8 digits
double 15-16 digits
decimal 28 digits
9
The decimal value type is generally used in currencies which require more precision!
Other Simple TypesType Alias for Allowed Values
char System.Char Single Unicode character, stored as an integer between 0 and 65535
bool System.Boolean true or false
string System.String A sequence of characters
10
Note that char type is stored in 2 bytes and it is
Unicode!
Variable Declaration, Assignment, and Printing Example
static void Main(string[] args){
int myInteger;string myString;myInteger = 17;myString = "\"myInteger\" is";Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}.", myString, myInteger);
}
11
Two variables aredeclared here
Values are assignedto the variables
Variables are displayed on the screen.
"myInteger" is 17.
Printing Variable Values
• Use Console.Write() or Console.WriteLine() methods to display variable values on the screen
• Console.WriteLine() method adds a new line at the end of the line
• The methods have several faces to print several types; use the most suitable one
12
Some Console.WriteLine() Faces
13
Printing an int on the screen
• int x = 17, y = 25;• Console.WriteLine(x);• Console.WriteLine(x.ToString());• Console.Write(“x = ”);• Console.WriteLine(x);• Console.WriteLine(“x = ” + x);• Console.WriteLine(“x = ” + x.ToString());• Console.WriteLine(“x = {0}, y = {1}.”, x, y);
14
1717x = 17x = 17x = 17x = 17, y = 25.
Variable Naming
• The first character must be either a letter, or an underscore character (_)
• Subsequent characters may be letters, underscore character, or numbers.
• Reserved words can’t be used as variable names– If you want a reserved word as variable name, you can put an at character (@) at the beginning
15
Example: Valid Variable Names
• myBigVar• VAR1• _test• i• myVariable• MyVariable• MYVARIABLE
16
Example: Invalid Variable Names
• a+b• 99bottles• namespace• double• my-result
17
Keywordsabstract const extern int out short typeof
as continue false interface override sizeof uint
base decimal finally internal params stackalloc ulong
bool default fixed is private static unchecked
break delegate float lock protected string unsafe
byte do for long public struct ushort
case double foreach namespace readonly switch using
catch else goto new ref this virtual
char enum if null return throw void
checked event implicit object sbyte true volatile
class explicit in operator sealed try while
18
C# Contextual Keywordsadd ascending async await by descending dynamic
equals from get global group in into
join let on orderby partial remove select
set value var where yield
19
Contextual keyword are used in certain language constructs. They can’t be used as identifier in those constructs. Otherwise,
they can be used as identifiers.
Variable Naming Conventions
• Hungarian Notation• Camel Case• Pascal Case
20
Hungarian Notation
• Place a lowercase prefix which shows the type of the variable– nAge– iAge– fDelimeter– btnClick– txtName
21
Camel Case
• Begin first word with lowercase, others with uppercase– age– firstName– lastName– birthDay
22
Pascal Case
• Start all words with uppercase letters– Age– FirstName– LastName– WinterOfDiscontent
23
Escape SequencesEscape Sequence Character Produced Unicode Value
\’ Single quotation mark 0x0027
\” Double quotation mark 0x0022
\\ Backslash 0x005C
\0 Null 0x0000
\a Alert (causes a beep) 0x0007
\b Backspace 0x0008
\f Form feed 0x000C
\n New line 0x000A
\r Carriage return 0x000D
\t Horizontal tab 0x0009
\v Vertical tab 0x000B
24
More About Strings…
• You can use Unicode values after \u– “Karli\’s string”– “Karli\u0027s string”
• If you place the @ character before a string, all escape sequences are ignored.– “C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\”– @“C:\inetpub\wwwroot\”– “A short list:\nitem 1\nitem 2”– @“A short list:
item 1item 2”
25
Variable Declaration and Assignment
• int age;• age = 25;• int age = 25;• int xSize, ySize;• int xSize = 4, ySize = 5;• int xSize, ySize = 5;
26
Operators
• Addition, subtraction, etc. are made using operators
• Three types of operators:– Unary – Act on single operand– Binary – Act on two operands– Tertiary – Act on three operands
27
Mathematical OperatorsOperator Category Example
+ Binary var1 = var2 + var3;
– Binary var1 = var2 – var3;
* Binary var1 = var2 * var3;
/ Binary var1 = var2 / var3;
% Binary var1 = var2 % var3;
+ Unary var1 = +var2;
– Unary var1 = –var2;
28
% : Remainder operatorExample: 8 % 3 gives 2.
Increment and Decrement Operators
Operator Category Example
++ Unary var1 = ++var2;
-- Unary var1 = --var2;
++ Unary var1 = var2++;
-- Unary var1 = var2--;
29
Increment first,assign next
Assign first,increment next
Exercise
int var1, var2 = 5, var3 = 6;var1 = var2++ * --var3;Console.WriteLine("var1={0}, var2={1}, var3={2}", var1, var2, var3);
30
How?
Printing Variable Values
int var1 = 3, var2 = 5;Console.WriteLine("var1 = {0}, var2 = {1}", var1, var2);
31
var1 = 3, var2 = 5
Printing Variable Values
int var1 = 3, var2 = 5;Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{0}{1}{1}", var1, var2);

Reading Strings
string userName;Console.Write("Your name: ");userName = Console.ReadLine();Console.WriteLine("Welcome {0}!", userName);
33
Your name: MuzafferWelcome Muzaffer!
Reading Integers
• int age;• Console.WriteLine("Your age: ");• age = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());• Console.WriteLine("Your age is {0}.", age);
34
Equivalent code:Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
Reading Doubles
• double w;• Console.WriteLine("Your weight (in kg.): ");• w = double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());• Console.WriteLine("You weigh {0} kg.", w);
35
Equivalent code:Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());
Assignment OperatorsOperator Example Equivalent
= var1 = var2;
+= var1 += var2; var1 = var1 + var2;
-= var1 -= var2; var1 = var1 – var2;
*= var1 *= var2; var1 = var1 * var2;
/= var1 /= var2; var1 = var1 / var2;
%= var1 %= var2; var1 = var1 % var2;
36
Operator PrecedencePrecedence Operators
Highest ++, -- (used as prefixes), +, - (unary)
*, /, %
+, -
=, *=, /=, %=, +=, -=
Lowest ++, -- (used as suffixes)
37
Namespaces
• .NET way of providing containers– Header files in C and C++– Packages in Java
• .NET classes are grouped in namespaces– Sin, Cos, Atan, Acos, Pi, Sqrt, etc. in Math namespace– Int32, Double, etc. in System namespace– Windows Forms classes in System.Windows.Forms– Registry operations in Microsoft namespace
• You also can write your programs or DLLs in a separate namespace, e.g. using your company name
38
Flow Control
• Branching (if, switch, ternary operator)• Looping (for, while, do-while, foreach)
39
Comparison OperatorsOperator Meaning
== equal to
!= not equal to
< less than
> greater than
<= less than or equal to
>= greater than or equal to
40
Boolean Variables
• A Boolean variable may take values true or false– bool isWhite = true;– isWhite = false;
• Comparison results can be stored in Boolean variables– bool isLong = (height > 195);– bool isWhite = (color == Color.White);
41
Fundamental Logical OperatorsOperator Name Example
&& AND (a > 0) && (a < 10)
|| OR (a <= 0) || (a >= 10)
! NOT !(a < 100)
42
The ‘if’ Statement
int height;Console.Write("Enter your height (in cm.) ");height = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());if (height > 190) Console.WriteLine("You are a tall person!");else Console.WriteLine("Your height is normal!");
43
if Statement
if (expression) <statement to execute when expression is true>;
if (expression){ <statement 1>; <statement 2>;}
44
if..else
if (expression) <statement to execute when expression is true>;else <statement to execute when expression is false>;
• If there are more statements, use curly brackets.
45
Some Notes on ‘if’
• Parentheses are required, they can’t be omitted• Curly braces (‘{’ and ‘}’)should be used if there are
more than one statements:if (test){ statement1; statement2;}
• else part can be omitted• if statements can be nested
46
Example: Finding the smallest of 3 integers
int a, b, c, min;Console.WriteLine("Enter 3 integers:");Console.Write("a = ");a = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());Console.Write("b = ");b = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());Console.Write("c = ");c = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
if (a < b){ if (a < c) min = a; else
min = c;}else{ if (b < c) min = b; else min = c;}
Console.WriteLine("The smallest one is {0}.", min);
47
Checking Conditionsif (var1 == 1) { // Do something.}else { if (var1 == 2) { // Do something else. } else { if (var1 == 3 || var1 == 4) { // Do something else. } else { // Do something else. } }
}
if (var1 == 1) { // Do something.}else if (var1 == 2) { // Do something else.}else if (var1 == 3 || var1 == 4) { // Do something else.}else { // Do something else.}
48
Common Mistakes
• if (var1 = 1) {…}• if (var1 == 1 || 2) {…}
49
The ‘switch’ Statementswitch (<testVar>){ case <comparisonVal1>: <code to execute if <testVar> == <comparisonVal1> > break; case <comparisonVal2>: <code to execute if <testVar> == <comparisonVal2> > break; . . . case <comparisonValN>: <code to execute if <testVar> == <comparisonValN> > break; default: <code to execute if <testVar> != comparisonVals> break;}
50
Example 1switch (var1){ case 1: // Do something. break; case 2: // Do something else. break; case 3: case 4: // Do something else. break; default: // Do something else. break;}
51
Example 2switch (option){ case 1: Console.WriteLine(“You select 1”); break; case 2: Console.WriteLine(“You select 2”); break; case 3: Console.WriteLine(“You select 3”); break; default: Console.WriteLine(“Please select an integer between 1 and 3.”); break;}
52
switch Exampleswitch (strProfession){ case "teacher": MessageBox.Show("You educate our young"); break; case "programmer": MessageBox.Show("You are most likely a geek"); break; case "accountant": MessageBox.Show("You are a bean counter"); break; default: MessageBox.Show("Profession not found in switch statement"); break;}
53
In C, only integer values can be used as the expression but in
C#, strings can be used too.
Don’t forget to use breaks!
Example 3switch (strAnimal){ case “bird”: Console.WriteLine(“It has 2 legs.”); break; case “horse”: case “dog”: case “cat”: Console.WriteLine(“It has 4 legs.”); break; case “centipede”: Console.WriteLine(“It has 40 legs.”); break; case “snake”: Console.WriteLine(“It has no legs.”); break; default: Console.WriteLine(“I don’t know that animal!”); break;} 54
The Ternary Operator
• ? :• <test> ? <resultIfTrue> : <resultIfFalse>• Tertiary operator because it acts on 3
operands (remember unary and binary operators acting on 1 and 2 operands resp.)
• Example:– if (a < b) min = a; else min = b;– min = (a < b) ? a : b;
55
Looping
56
for Loop
for (initializers; check_condition; modifying_expressions){ <statements>}• Example:for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { Console.WriteLine("i = " + i.ToString());}
57
while Loop
while (expression){ <statements>}
58
do-while Loop
do{ <statements>} while (expression);
59
foreach Loop
foreach (<type> <name> in <list>){ <statements>}
60
Displaying Months using for Loop
string[] months = new string[] { "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };
for (int i = 0; i < months.Length; i++){ MessageBox.Show(months[i]);}
61
Displaying Months using foreach
string[] months = new string[] { "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };
foreach (string month in months){ MessageBox.Show(month);}
62
Exercise
• Display first ten prime numbers.
63
Interrupting Loops
• break – ends the loop immediately• continue – ends the current loop cycle• return – jumps out of the function• goto – jumps to the specified location (don’t use)
64
Infinite Loops
while (true){ …}
65
Exampleint num;while (true){ Console.Write(“Enter a number between 1 and 100: ”); num = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine()); if (num >= 1 && num <= 100) break; else { Console.WriteLine(“It should be between 1 and 100.”); Console.WriteLine(“Please try again!\n”); }}
66
Bitwise Operators
• & (Bitwise AND)• | (Bitwise OR)• ~ (Bitwise NOT)• ^ (Bitwise XOR)
67
Examples
• 0110 & 0101 = 0100 (1&1=1, otherwise 0)• 0110 | 0101 = 0111 (0|0=0, otherwise 1)• 0110 ^ 0101 = 0011 (same0, different1)• ~0110 = 1001 (01, 10)
68
Examples
option = Location.Left | Location.Bottom;
if (option & Location.Left != 0) MessageBox.Show(“Indented to left.”);if (option & Location.Bottom != 0) MessageBox.Show(“Indented to right.”);
69
Shift Operators
• >> (Shift right)• << (Shift left)• >>=• <<=
70
Examples
• int a = 16;• int b = a >> 2; // b becomes 4• int c = a << 4; // c becomes 256• a >>= 2; // a becomes 4• a <<= 4; // a becomes 64
