2. Dealing with Data Types

In any programming language we have to deal with different types of data. In this section we will learn about that.

Integer Data Types

Declaring Explicitly Typed Variables

Floating-Point and Double

Strings Challenge

Basic String Formatting

Basic Type Conversion

Basic Coding Practice

3. Control Structures

In this section we will learn about features of C# that help us control the flow of the program such as executing pieces of code based on conditions.

Comparison Operators

Logical Operators

Operators Challenge

Order of Operations

if-condition Challenge

else Keyword Practice

Task (if, else-if, else)

switch Statement

Practicing Switch

4. Loops

In this section we will learn about how to deal with repetitive tasks in programming.

Practicing For Loop

Practicing Do-While Loop

break statement

continue statement

Practicing break and continue

5. Arrays

Arrays are an important part of any programming language as they let us group together and manipulate a large amount of similar data. In this section we will learn about Arrays and how to use them for practical applications.

What are Arrays?

Practicing Array Declaration

Indexing Practice

Practicing Array Declaration

Create an empty array called heights of type float and length (size) of 7.

It's fine if you don't understand the code after the array declaration. It will make more sense in the next chapter.

main


              12345678910111213141516
            
using System;

namespace ConsoleApp
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
			// Declare an array below this line
            ___

            heights[5] = 181.9f;
            Console.WriteLine(heights[5]);
        }
    }
}

The syntax of declaring an empty array is datatype[] arrayName = new datatype[size];.

main


              12345678910111213141516
            
using System;

namespace ConsoleApp
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Declare an array below this line
            float[] heights = new float[7];

            heights[5] = 181.9f;
            Console.WriteLine(heights[5]);
        }
    }
}

Everything was clear?
