 2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved Simple Program: Printing a line of text Comments –Comments can be created using //… –Multi-lines comments use /* … */ –Comments are ignored by the compiler –Used only for human readers Namespaces –Groups related C# features into a categories –Allows the easy reuse of code –Many namespaces are found in the.NET framework library –Must be referenced in order to be used White Space –Includes spaces, newline characters and tabs

 2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved Simple Program: Printing a line of text Keywords –Words that cannot be used as variable or class names or any other capacity –Have a specific unchangeable function within the language –Example: class –All keywords are lowercase Classes –Class names can only be one word long (i.e. no white space in class name ) –Class names are capitalized, with each additional English word capitalized as well (e.g., MyFirstProgram ) –Each class name is an identifier Can contain letters, digits, and underscores (_) Cannot start with digits Can start with the at symbol

 2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved Simple Program: Printing a line of text –Class bodies start with a left brace ({) –Class bodies end with a right brace (}) Methods –Building blocks of programs –The Main method Each console or windows application must have exactly one All programs start by executing the Main method –Braces are used to start ({) and end (}) a method Statements –Anything in quotes (“) is considered a string –Every statement must end in a semicolon (;)

 2001 Prentice Hall, Inc.

These are two single line comments. They are ignored by the compiler and are only used to aid other programmers. They use the double slash (//) This is the using directive. It lets the compiler know that it should include the System namespace. This is a blank line. It means nothing to the compiler and is only used to add clarity to the program. This is the beginning of the Welcome1 class definition. It starts with the class keyword and then the name of the class. This is the start of the Main method. In this case it instructs the program to do everything This is a string of characters that Console.WriteLine instructs the compiler to output

Console.WriteLine will pick up where the line ends. This will cause the output to be on one line even though it is on two in the code.

The \n escape sequence is used to put output on the next line. This causes the output to be on several lines even though it is only on one in the code.

This will display the contents in a message box as opposed to in the console window.

All rights reserved Another Simple Program: Adding Integers Primitive data types –Data types that are built into C# String, Int, Double, Char, Long 15 primitive data types (chapter 4) –Each data type name is a C# keyword –Same type variables can be declared on separate lines or on one line Console.ReadLine() –Used to get a value from the user input Int32.Parse() –Used to convert a string argument to an integer –Allows math to be preformed once the string is converted

Each is separated by a coma. Console.ReadLine is used to take the users input and place it into a variable. This line is considered a prompt because it asks the user to input data. Int32.Parse is used to convert the given string into an integer. It is then stored in a variable. The two numbers are added and stored in the variable sum.

Putting a variable out through Console.WriteLine is done by placing the variable after the text while using a marked place to show where the variable should be placed.

 2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved Memory Concepts Memory locations –Each variable is a memory location Contains name, type, size and value –When a new value is enter the old value is lost –Used variables maintain their data after use

If number1 is the same as number2 this line is preformed If number1 does not equal number2 this line of code is executed. If number1 is less than number2 the program will use this line If number1 is greater than number2 this line will be preformed
