3. Parameter
Passing
in
C#
• Value
types
– Built-­‐in
primiBve
types,
such
as
char,
int
float
etc
– (Although
these
are
objects)
• Reference
types
– Classes
• But
value
types
can
be
passes
also
as
reference!

4. Passing
Values
• Default
manner
in
parameters:
by
value
• You
can
change
this
by
using
parameter
modifiers
– out
–
pass
by
reference,
parameter
can
be
unini3alized
– ref
–
pass
by
reference,
parameter
must
be
ini3alized
– params
–
number
of
arguments

5. static void Main() {
int answer;
// Pass answer as reference!
calculate(5, 5, out answer);
Console.Write(answer);
int x;
int y;
int z;
// Pass these as reference!
fillThese(out x, out y, out z);
}
static void calculate(int a, int b, out int answer) {
answer = a + b;
}
static void fillThese(out int a, out int b, out int c) {
a = 8;
b = 10;
c = 12;
}

6. static void Main() {
int answer1;
// You must initialize this!
int answer2 = -1;
// Pass answer as reference!
Calculate1(5, 5, out answer1);
// Pass answer as reference!
Calculate2(5, 5, ref answer2);
}
static void Calculate1(int a, int b, out int answer) {
answer = a + b;
}
static void Calculate2(int a, int b, ref int answer) {
answer = a + b;
}

7. static void Main() { static void ChangeName2(out Car c) {
Car car = new Car(); // This does not work:
car.name = "BMW"; // c.name = "Audi";
// Why? Because it's possible that c is not initialized!
// Now name is Skoda // This works:
ChangeName1(car); c = new Car();
Console.WriteLine(car.name); c.name = "Audi";
}
// Now name is Audi
ChangeName2(out car); static void ChangeName3(ref Car c) {
Console.WriteLine(car.name); c.name = "Skoda";
}
// Now name is Skoda
ChangeName3(ref car);
Console.WriteLine(car.name);
}
static void ChangeName1(Car c) {
c.name = "Skoda";
}

8. Params
Modifier
using System;
class Test
{
static void Main() {
DoSomething();
DoSomething(0);
DoSomething(0,1,2,3);
double [] values = {1,2,3};
DoSomething(values);
}
static void DoSomething(params double[] values) {
for(int i=0; i<values.Length; i++) {
Console.WriteLine(values[i]);
}
}
}

9. OpBonal
Parameters

class Test
{
static void Main() {
GiveFeedBackToTeacher("Sam Student");
}
static void GiveFeedBackToTeacher(string studentName,
string message = "Worst Course Ever",
string teacher = "Jussi Pohjolainen") {
Console.Beep();
Console.WriteLine("To:" + teacher);
Console.WriteLine(message);
}
}

10. Named
Parameters
using System;
class Test
{
static void Main() {
// Using Named Parameters! You can
// switch parameter places if you give the names!
GiveFeedBackToTeacher(message: "Best Course Ever",

var myInts2 = new int[3];
print(myInts2);
var myInts3 = new int[]{1,2,3};
print(myInts3);
}
static void print(params int [] myInts) {
// foreach
foreach(int i in myInts)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}

12. System.Array
• Array
holds
methods
and
properBes:
– Clear()
–
Sets
a
range
of
array
elements
to
zero
– CopyTo()
–
Copies
elements
from
array
to
another
– Length
–
Size
of
the
array
– Rank
–
Number
of
Dimensions
(one,
two..)
– Reverse()
–
Reverses
– Sort()
–
Sorts
an
array,
custom
objects
also
(IComparer
interface)
• Lot’s
of
methods:
– hWp://msdn.microsoY.com/en-­‐us/library/
system.array.aspx

13. enum
enum Color1 enum Color3
{ {
RED, // = 0 RED = 100, // = 100
BLUE, // = 1 BLUE = 2, // = 2
GREEN // = 2 GREEN = 3 // = 3
} }
enum Color2 enum Color4 : byte
{ {
RED = 100, // = 100 RED = 100, // = 100
BLUE, // = 101 BLUE = 2, // = 2
GREEN // = 102 GREEN = 3 // = 3
} // WHITE = 999 => fail
}

14. enum
class Test
{
static void Main() {
Color1 red = Color1.RED;
if(red == Color1.RED)
{
Console.Write("Yes!");
}
// Prints RED!
Console.Write(Color1.RED);
}
}

15. System.enum
• Methods
like
– GetValues()
–
Array
of
all
values
– GetUnderlyingType()
–
Datatype
of
the
enum
• See:
– hWp://msdn.microsoY.com/en-­‐us/library/
system.enum.aspx

16. struct
• Struct
is
a
lightweight
class
– Inheritance
not
supported
• For
small
data
structures
• Struct
is
passed
by
value,
classes
by
reference
• Struct
can
contain
aWributes,
methods..
almost
all
the
things
that
are
found
in
classes

17. struct
struct Point {
public int X;
public int Y;
public void Increment() {
X++; Y++;
}
public void Print() {
Console.WriteLine(X);
Console.WriteLine(Y);
}
}

18. struct
class Test
{
static void Main()
{
Point point;
point.X = 12;
point.Y = 99;
point.Increment();
point.Print();
Point origo = point;
origo.X = 0;
origo.Y = 0;
point.Print();
origo.Print();
}
}

19. Value
Types
and
Reference
Types?
• int
is
a
shortcut
of
System.int32
struct
– So
int
is
an
struct
object!
And
it’s
passed
by
value
• enum
is
a
shortcut
of
System.enum
class
– Enums
are
passed
by
value.
How
come?
It’s
inherited
from
System.ValueType!
• System.ValueType?
– Provides
base
class
for
value
types
– Overrides
some
funcBonality
from
System.Object
so
all
objects
created
are
put
to
stack
instead
of
heap.
– Special
class,
you
cannot
inherit
it.

20. Rules:
Value
Types
• Value
types
are
allocated
on
stack
• Value
types
extend
System.ValueType
• Value
types
cannot
be
inherited
• Value
types
are
passed
by
value
• Cannot
add
Finalize()
method
• You
can
define
custom
contructor
(default
is
reserved)
• Removed
from
memory
when
out
of
scope

21. Nullable
Type
• bool
mybool
– You
can
set
values
true
or
false
• ?bool
mybool
– You
can
set
values
true,
false
and
null
• Only
legal
for
value
types!
• Shortcut:
??
– //
If
result
is
null,
then
assign
100
– int
data
=
getSomething()
??
100;

22. OO
WITH
C#

23. MulBple
Constructors
and
this
class Point
{
public int X;
public int Y;
public Point() : this(0,0) {
}
public Point(int aX) : this(aX, 0) {
X = aX;
}
public Point(int aX, int aY) {
X = aX;
Y = aY;
}
}

24. Easier
Way
class Point
{
public int X;
public int Y;
public Point(int aX = 0, int aY = 0)
{
X = aX;
Y = aY;
}
}

25. StaBc
Class
can
contain
only
staBc
content
static class MyMath
{
public static double sqrt(double d) {
//...
return -1;
}
public static double abs(double d) {
//...
return -1;
}
}

26. Access
Modifiers
class Person
{
// Only me can access
private String name;
// Everybody can access
public int age;
// Me and my derived classes can access
protected int shoeSize;
// Me and my assembly can access (when creating .net library)
internal string hairColor;
// Me, my derived classes and my assembly can access
protected internal int shirtSize;
}

27. Default
Modifiers
class Person
{
Person() { }
}
<=>
// notice, only public or internal allowed!
// In nested classes it’s different..
internal class Person
{
private Person() { }
}
// If we want others to access
public class Person
{
public Person() { }
}

28. ProperBes
class Person class Test
{ {
private string personName; static void Main()
{
public string Name Person jack = new Person();
{ jack.Name = "Jack";
get Console.WriteLine(jack.Name);
{ }
return personName; }
}
set
{
if(value.Length > 3)
{
personName = value;
}
}
}
}

29. ProperBes
class Person
{
private string name;
public Person(string name)
{
// WE ARE USING PROPERTIES!
Name = name;
}
public string Name {
get
{
return name;
}
set
{
if(value.Length > 3)
{
name = value;
}
}
}
}

30. AutomaBc
ProperBes
class Person
{
// automatic properties! VS: Write prop and press tab key twice!
public string Name { get; set; }
public Person(string name)
{
// WE ARE USING PROPERTIES!
Name = name;
}
}

31. Object
IniBalizaBon
Syntax
class Point
{
public int X { get; set; }
public int Y { get; set; }
}
class Test
{
static void Main()
{
// Object initialization syntax!
Point b = new Point() { X = 30, Y = 80 };
}
}

32. Constant
Field
Data
• By
using
const,
you
can
define
constant
data
that
you
cannot
change
aYerwards
• public const double PI = 3.14

33. read-­‐only
data
field
class Circle
{
// read-only data field
public readonly double PI;
// can initialize it in constructor, but after this
// it's constant.
public Circle(double value) {
PI = value;
}
}

34. ParBal
Types
• Single
class
across
mulBple
C#
files!
• Point1.cs
– partial class Point { public int X { get; set; } }
• Point2.cs
– partial class Point { public int Y { get; set; } }
• When
compiling
and
running,
only
one
class
exists
with
two
properBes
X
and
Y

35. Inheritance
class Mammal
{
private readonly string name;
public string Name
{
get { return name; }
}
public Mammal(string name)
{
this.name = name;
}
}
class Person : Mammal
{
public Person(string name) : base(name) {}
}

36. Sealed
sealed class Person : Mammal
{
public Person(string name) : base(name) {}
}
// Cannot do this, Person is sealed!
class SuperMan : Person
{
public SuperMan(string name) : base(name) {}
}

37. Overriding
// THIS FAILS!
class Mammal
{
public void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Mambo jambo!");
}
}
class Person : Mammal
{
public void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Hello!");
}
}

38. Overriding
// THIS FAILS!
class Mammal
{
// You can override this
public virtual void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Mambo jambo!");
}
}
class Person : Mammal
{
// And we are overriding
public override void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Hello!");
}
}

39. Overriding
// THIS FAILS!
class Mammal
{
public void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Mambo jambo!");
}
}
class Person : Mammal
{
// And we are overriding
public override void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Hello!");
}
}

40. Overriding:
virtual
and
override
// SUCCESS!
class Mammal
{
public virtual void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Mambo jambo!");
}
}
class Person : Mammal
{
// And we are overriding
public override void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Hello!");
}
}

41. Overriding:
new
// SUCCESS!
class Mammal
{
public void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Mambo jambo!");
}
}
class Person : Mammal
{
// And we are overriding without virtual…
public new void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Hello!");
}
}

42. using System;
class Mammal
{
public void Talk()
{
Console.WriteLine("Mambo jambo!");
}
public virtual void Eat()
{
Console.WriteLine("Eating general stuff");
}
}
class Person : Mammal
{
public new void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Hello!");
}
public override void Eat()
{
Console.WriteLine("Eating something made by sandwich artist.");
}
}
class App
{
public static void Main()
{
Mammal mammal = new Person();
mammal.Talk(); // "Mambo Jambo"
mammal.Eat(); // "Eating something..."
}
}

43. class Person : Mammal
{
public new void Talk()
{
Console.Write("Hello!");
}
public sealed override void Eat()
{
Console.WriteLine("Eating something made by …");
}
}
class SuperMan : Person
{
// Cannot override a sealed method
public override void Eat()
{
// FAIL!
}
}

44. class App
{
public static void Main()
{
Mammal jussi = new Person();
// Cast to Person, null if it fails.
Person d = jussi as Person;
if(d == null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Fail");
}
// is = returns true or false!
if(jussi is Person)
{
Console.WriteLine("Success!");
}
}
}
