Intro To C# Programming

We introduce many of the Data Types you can use: Strings, Char, Int, float, double, decimal, and boolean.

We introduce the Datetime data type and explain how to set it to a specific value.

Let's explore the various functions we can use to display and use the DateTime data type.

We explain the concept of Null, discuss which fields can have a null value, and introduce Nullables.

We examine various String Methods to modify string variables, including changing the case and replacing parts of the string.

We explain the concept of String Indexing to manage and modify elements within a string.

We learn the difference between Concatenation and Interpolation, and when one might be easier to use than the other.

Let's learn how to perform basic math functions: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division.

In this lesson, we examine how Exponents work and what the Modulus is.

We review PEMDAS and how the Order of Operations works within C#.

In this lesson, we discuss the differences between integers, floats, decimals, and doubles, and how decimal places may be affected based on the data type you choose.

We learn how to increment and decrement variables using ++ and -- commands.

In this lesson, we learn about Math Methods such as Floor, Ceiling, Round, and Truncate.

We examine the process for Type Conversion and Casting.

In this lesson, we learn how to capture User Input, assign it to a variable, and Output it to the screen.

Let's practice our skills with user input to build a Madlib Program!

In this lesson, we learn how to create and access Arrays.

We explore how to update an existing Array by changing one of its values.

Appending Arrays in C# is a bit different than in other programming languages.

In this lesson, we examine how to create and use Two Dimensional Arrays.

In this lesson, we introduce Methods and how to use them in your program.

Once you've created a method, you may want to pass Parameters to those Methods to perform specific operations.

If you'd like to use Methods and return data to your program, we explore how that's done.

In this lesson, we learn about Logic and basic Comparison Operators: >, >=, <, <=, !=, ==.

We introduce If/Else Statements and look at how they run inside a program.

In this lesson, we learn how to use "And" operators within an If/Else statement.

We learn how to use "or" operators within If/Else statements.

In this lesson, we learn how to use "else if" within an If/Else statement.

We look at how to use a Switch Statement within our program.

In this lesson, we introduce Loops and explain how While and Do While work.

We learn how to create and use For Loops within our program.

In this lesson, we explain how to Break and Continue loops.

We discuss how to deal with Errors within your code and how Exception Handling can prevent your program from crashing.

By anticipating specific kinds of Exceptions, you can program your code to treat them in unique ways without crashing.

The Finally part of Exception Handling will ensure specific code runs after try / catch blocks.

In this lesson, we identify a helpful Exception List that can help educate you on potential issues that could impact your code.

Let's begin a discussion of object-oriented programming so we can create our own data types.

We learn how to create our own class and define the attributes within.

Constructors provide a simple way to create new objects within our code.

In this lesson, we learn how to create Object Methods that operate inside your own classes.
