Challenge: Comments

Challenge: Variable Declaration

Basic Operators & Expressions

Challenge: Operators

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

Challenge: Declaring Explicitly Typed Variables

Floating-Point and Double

Strings Challenge

Basic String Formatting

Challenge: String Formatting

Declaring Constants

Basic Type Casting

Type Casting Practice

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

Challenge: Operators

Order of Operations

Challenge: `if` Condition

`else` Keyword

Challenge: `else` Keyword

`if-else` Chain

Challenge: `if`, `else-if`, `else`

`switch` Statement

Challenge: Switch

4. Loops

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

Challenge: `for` Loop

`do-while` Loop

Challenge: `do-while` Loop

`break` Statement

`continue` Statement

Challenge: `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?

Challenge: Array Declaration

Challenge: Indexing

Multi-Dimensional Arrays

Challenge: Multi-Dimensional Arrays

Looping through Arrays

Challenge: Array Loops

6. Methods

In this section we will learn about one of of the most widely used and essential features of C# called Methods. We will also explore its uses through creative practice tasks.

What are Methods?

Creating and Calling Methods

Challenge: Methods Creation

Method Parameters

Challenge: Method with Parameters

Method Return Values

Challenge: Return Values

Local & Global Scopes

Challenge: Scopes

`else` Keyword

There is an else keyword which can be used for executing a block of code if the condition is not met.

Here is an example where we output specific text if the condition isn't met:

main


              12345678910111213141516171819
            
using System;

namespace ConsoleApp
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
			int x = 5;
			int y = 7;

			if(x > y) {
    			Console.WriteLine("x is greater than y");
			} else {
    			Console.WriteLine("x is equal or less than y");
			}
        }
    }
}
