Conversion Casting
Casting is the process of converting form one type of object to another, There are two Conversion types in C# implicit and explicit. Implicit conversion is handled by the compiler and requires no extra work. Implicit conversion is only possible if the new data type can hold the old data type with out any data loss. explicit conversion forces on datatype into another even if it doesn't fit. It is up to the programmer to define explicit casts.
implicit conversion
<csharp>int intNumber = 1000; long lngNumber; lngNumber = intNumber;
int Number1= 6; int Number2= 5; int Number3 = Number1 / Number2; //Number3 == 1 NOT 1.2 because Number3 is an int </csharp>
explicit conversion
<csharp>long lngNumber = 1000; int intNumber; intNumber = (int)lngNumber;
int Number1= 6; int Number2= 5; double Number3 = (double)Number1 / (double)Number2; //Number3 == 1.2</csharp>
Some types cannot be cast from one type to another but the Framework has it's ows Conversion Class. Convert
ConvertClass.cs and Emample of using the convert class to convert an interger to a boolean
Operators
ECMA-334 Operators and punctuators
Assignment
The Assigment operator in c# is the '=' sign. You can assign variables like this...
<csharp>int myVar; //declare varible of type int called myVar myVar = 15; //assign myVar the value of 15 using the '=' sign</csharp>
Comparison Operators
Operator | Description |
== | Equality |
< | Less Than |
<= | Less than or equal to |
> | Greater than |
>= | Greater than or equal to |
!= | Inequality |
Logical Operators
Operator | Description |
&& | Logical AND |
II | Logical OR (note the II are really pipes) |
! | Logical NOT |
Boolean Expressions
Logical operators usually work on bollean expressions. Boolean expressions are is a statement that evaluates to true of false
(1 < 2) or (y == x)
Boolean expressions are often grouped with logical operator to combine comparisons
(x > 0) && (x <100) //x is greater than 0 and less than 100
(x < 0) || (x >100) //x is less than zero or x is greater than 100
Logical operator Precedence
- ! (NOT)
- && (AND)
- || (OR)
Branching
evil goto - I won't show it figure it out on your own...
- if
- switch
Looping
- for
- while
- do... while
- foreach
Branching Statements
if
syntax
<csharp>if (expression)
// statement
if (expression) {
// statements // statements
} if (expression) {
// statements // statements
} else {
// statements
}</csharp>
About braces and indenting. I usually use BSD/Allman Style.
Jargon File
indent style n.
The One True Brace Style
Console Input There are several ways to get data into your program. One of the simplest is to have someone type it into the console. The frame work supports Console.ReadLine() this method reads on line from the input of the console.
EchoOnce.cs
Another popular way to get data into your program is to send it in as an argument when the program is run.
HelloName.cs
HelloNameSafe.cs
if example IfSelection.cs - source
The following code uses a bunch of operator and if statements to do some basic sanity checks. Analyze it and try to predict the output
sanityCheck.cs - source
switch
syntax
switch (expression)
{ case constant-expression: statement jump-statement [default: statement] }
example 1
<csharp>// switch with integer type switch (myInt) {
case 1: Console.WriteLine("Your number is {0}.", myInt); break; case 2: Console.WriteLine("Your number is {0}.", myInt); break; case 3: Console.WriteLine("Your number is {0}.", myInt); break; default: Console.WriteLine("Your number {0} is not between 1 and 3.", myInt); break;
}</csharp>
Switch1to3.cs
Switch1to3WithTryAndCatch.cs
fall though and goto case
<csharp>// fall though and goto case switch (myChoice) {
case "NewLeft": Console.WriteLine("Newleft is voting Democratic."); goto case "Democrat"; case "Democrat": Console.WriteLine("You voted Democratic."); break; case "CompassionateRepublican": case "Republican": Console.WriteLine("You voted Republican."); break; default: Console.WriteLine("Please vote...."); break;
}</csharp>
Looping Statements
for
syntax
for ([initializers]; [expression]; [iterators]) statement
<csharp>for (int i=0; i < 10; i++) {
forOneResult += "For Loop " + i + "
";
}</csharp>
Produces
For Loop 0 For Loop 1 For Loop 2 For Loop 3 For Loop 4 For Loop 5 For Loop 6 For Loop 7 For Loop 8 For Loop 9
<csharp>for (int i=0; i < 20; i++) {
if (i == 10) break;
if (i % 2 == 0) continue;
forTwoResult += "For Loop " + i + "
";
}</csharp>
Produces
For Loop 1 For Loop 3 For Loop 5 For Loop 7 For Loop 9
For loops can also be good to dynamically add or alter the contents or web controls. For example If I wanted a web control to have 100 items in it like this . I could use a for loop to add them here's an example
/infod/jeff/classSource/class3/DynamicAddDropdown.aspx - source
while
while syntax
while (expression) statement
<csharp>string whileLoopResult = ""; int MyInt = 0;
while (MyInt < 10) {
Whileloopresult +="While Loop " + MyInt + "\n"; MyInt++;
}</csharp>
produces
While Loop 0 While Loop 1 While Loop 2 While Loop 3 While Loop 4 While Loop 5 While Loop 6 While Loop 7 While Loop 8 While Loop 9
do
do... while syntax
do statement while (boolean-expression);
<csharp>string doLoopResult = ""; int myIntDo = 0;
do {
doLoopResult +="do Loop " + myIntDo + "
"; myIntDo++;
} while (myIntDo < 10);</csharp>
produces
do Loop 0 do Loop 1 do Loop 2 do Loop 3 do Loop 4 do Loop 5 do Loop 6 do Loop 7 do Loop 8 do Loop 9
<csharp>string doLoopResult2 = "";
int myIntDo2 = 30;
do {
doLoopResult2 +="do Loop " + myInt + "
"; myIntDo2++;
} while (myIntDo2 < 10);</csharp>
produces do Loop 30
for each
A for each loop requires and iterator.. more on this iterator thing later...
<csharp>string[] names = {"Cheryl", "Joe", "Matt", "Robert"}; foreach (string person in names) {
Console.Write (" " + person);
}</csharp>
produces
Cheryl Joe Matt Robert
The for each loop is a key component in polymorphism. Remeber the age selector example what if we want to select more than one age. It would be simple to change the dropdownlist into a listbox and turn SelectionMode ="Multiple" so the user can select multiple items but how do check to see if every Item is selected. Is to have each item check itself and use a for each loop.

How about making those checkboxes?

IN Class
Build a c# app that writes the words to 99 bottles of beer on the wall using a loopin statement
99 bottles of beer csharp example
Try and Catch
Try and catch is useful when you are going to do something that may cause a runtime error. These arrroe my occur when
- Parsing user input
- Converting Datatypes
- Trying to connect to a remote server
- Connecting to a database
For example consider a program that asks the user what their favorite number is.
<csharp> using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text;
namespace FavoriteNumber {
class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { int intFavNumber; string strFavNumber; Console.Write("What is you favorite number?"); strFavNumber = Console.ReadLine();
intFavNumber = Int16.Parse(strFavNumber);
} }
} </csharp>
if you type 'monkey' for your favorite number the program crashes with the folling message
Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolea n parseDecimal) at System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info) at System.Int16.Parse(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info) at FavoriteNumber.Program.Main(String[] args)
This program can be fixed be using a try and catch
<csharp>try { //some crazy code that may cause errors } catch (Exception e) {
string FstrError = e.ToString();
}</csharp>
Console Example http://iam.colum.edu/oop/gbrowser.php?file=/classsource/class3/try.cs
<csharp>using System; namespace HelloClass {
class HelloWorld { public static void Main() { object o2 = null; try { int i2 = (int) o2; // Error } catch (Exception e) { //put Exceptioninto string strError string strError = e.ToString(); //write error to label lblOutput Console.WriteLine(strError); } } }
}</csharp>

Passing variable into a function/method passes be instance. Variables passed by instance do not actually pass in the original variable rather a copy or new instance of the variable is passed. It you want to pass in the actual variable you need to pass be referance Examples of passesing by instamce and passing by refecnce... /infod/jeff/classSource/class3/instanceReference.aspx - Source
Out Parameters
Functions can only return a single value. Out parametrs allow functions to return more than one value. They don't really retun multiple values it's more like passing varibles thought the function by refernce
<csharp>using System; public class Test { public static void Main() { Test t=new Test(); t.Run(); } public void Run() { Test t=new Test(); int Hour = 0; t.GetTime(out Hour); Console.WriteLine (Hour); } public void GetTime ( out int h ) { h = 10; } }</csharp>
produces
10
Variables
Scope
scope defines the life of a variable. Local Variables
Variables declared with functions/methods are only around as long as the function/method is running. These variables are known as local varables
Global Variables
Global variables are variables that are around for the entire length of execution. They are declared a public within the programs base class.
In c# since everything must be contianed in a class global variables do not really exist.
Block Level Variables
Block level variables exitist with the code block.
A code block is contained by { }.

Structs
Lightweight alternatives to classes. Structs do not support inheritance or destructors. Don't worry if you don't understand structs yet it hard cuz the book teaches them before classes. We will talk more about stucts after we talk about classes Syntax
[ attributes] [access-modifiers] struct identifier [:interface-list {struct members}
<csharp>struct Dog {
public string name; public string weight; public int age;
}</csharp>
Enumerators
Enumerators are used to set predefined list of named constants. Syntax
[ attributes] [modifiers] enum identifier [:base-type {enumerator-list};
<csharp>//An enumerator for ServingSizes at BK enum ServingSizes : uint {
Small = 0, Regular = 1, Large = 2, SuperSize = 3
}</csharp>
<csharp>//another more usefull example // forced sequence to start // from 1 instead of 0 (default) enum Months
{ January = 1, February , March, April , May , June , July , August , Sept , Oct , Nov , Dec }</csharp>
Enumerator Example Enum.cs
Home work
1. Create three more versions of 99 bottles of beer.
- for
- do
- try using a function
If you have done 99 bottles of beer then do
extra foreach
2. Read Chapter 6,7 in Learning c#
Extra credit
2 pts
- Create a console Game of Chance
- A coinflipper
- A dice roller
- Guess My Number
The game should contain some level of randomness. It should also demonstrate operators and branching statements. It would sure be nice if the game had some level input from the user.
Here is an example coin flipper worth 2 pts
CoinFilpperSimple.cs
This game flips a whole bunch of coins two and compares the results. If the two coins are the same then you are a winner and it displays true. If they are different then you loose and if displays false. This program was created to test the old question 'If you flip a coins 99 times and get 99 head what are the odds of the 100th flip turning up heads?'
It shows some strange properties of randomness.
Quiz 1 next week over weeks 1-3 and Chapter 1-6 in Learning c#
