Object-Oriented Programming Using C#

Rationale

Object-oriented concepts form the base of all modern


programming languages. Understanding the basic concepts
of object-orientation helps a developer to use various
modern day programming languages, more effectively. C#
(C-Sharp) is an object-oriented programming language
developed by Microsoft that intends to be a simple, modern,
and general-purpose programming language for application
development.
The course is applicable to students who want to enter the
world of object-oriented programming, using the C#
language. This course provides a strong foundation in
object-oriented programming approaches and the
fundamentals of C# programming language.

Object-Oriented Methodology

Object orientation is a software development methodology


that is based on modeling a real-world system.
An object oriented program consists of classes and objects.

Let us understand the terms—class and objects

Object-Oriented Programming Using C#
The Foundation of Object Orientation

An object means a ‘material thing’ that is capable of being


presented to the senses.
An object has the following characteristics:
It has a state
It may display behavior
It has a unique identity
Objects interact with other objects through messages.

Let us understand these concepts.

Dr. James and Mr. Hyde went to the railway station to book
tickets for 3rd December. At the railway station, they requested
the clerk at the ticket counter to book two tickets for the Flying
Express in the first class. Identify the following:
1. The possible receiver of the message in this situation.
2. The possible method that the receiver can use.

Solution:
1. The receiver of the message in this case will be the clerk at
the ticket counter.
2. The clerk will check if two tickets are available on the
requested train in the desired class and for the desired date. If
the tickets are available, the clerk will enter the details (name,
age, departure date, and seat), confirm the reservation, and
collect the required fare.

State whether the following situations demonstrate


reusability:
1. Recycling paper
2. Pump reusability (same pump is used in a well and in a fuel
station)

Solution:
1. It does not represent reusability because the unusable paper
is destroyed before paper is recycled for use. The unusable
paper loses its identity and cannot be considered the same as
recycled paper.
2. It represents reusability because a pump can be used for
suction of water as well as petrol. It is not necessary to use
the same pump in both the cases. Two separate machines
can be used because both belong to the ‘Pump’ class.

Introducing C#

A program is a set of instructions to perform a specific task.


Programming languages use programs to develop software
applications.
A compiler is a special program that processes the
statements written in a particular programming language
and converts them into a machine language.
This process of conversion is called compilation.

A C# program can be written by using an editor like


Notepad. Consider the following code, which declares a
class Car and also creates an object MyCar of the same
class: The using keyword is used to include
using System; the namespaces in the program.
class Car Comments are used to explain the
{ code and are represented by //
//Member variables symbols.
string Engine; Member variables are used to store
int NoOfWheels; the data for a class.

Object-Oriented Programming Using C#
Compiling and Executing C# Program

After writing the program in a Notepad, you need to compile


and execute it to get the desired output.
The compiler converts the source code that you write into
the machine code, which the computer can understand.
The following steps are needed to compile and execute a
C# program.
1. Save the code written in the Notepad with an extension .cs.
2. To compile the code, you need to go to the Visual Studio
2005 Command Prompt window. Select StartAll
ProgramsMicrosoft Visual Studio 2005Visual Studio
ToolsVisual Studio 2005 Command Prompt. The Visual
Studio 2005 Command Prompt window is displayed to
compile the program.
3. In the Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt window, move
to the location where the programs file is saved.

Object-Oriented Programming Using C#
Summary

In this session, you learned that:


According to the object-oriented approach, systems consist of
component objects that interact with each other.
An object is an entity that may have a physical boundary.
However, it should have the following characteristics:
State
Behavior
Identity
A class consists of a set of objects that share a common
structure and behavior.
If an object desires an action from another object, it sends a
message to that object.
The object that receives the message is called the receiver, and
the set of actions taken by the receiver constitutes the method.

Ver. 1.0 Session 1 Slide 42 of 45


Object-Oriented Programming Using C#
Summary (Contd.)

The features of the object-oriented approach are:


Realistic modeling
Reusability
Resilience to change
Existence as different forms
A model of a system is built in the stages of analysis, design
and implementation.
The purpose of the model is to help developers understand the
reality that they are trying to imitate.
In C#, a class is created by using the keyword class. It is
identified by a name called the class name.
The Console.WriteLine() method is used to display text on the
screen.
Main() is the first function which is executed in a C# program.

Ver. 1.0 Session 1 Slide 43 of 45


Object-Oriented Programming Using C#
Summary (Contd.)

Escape characters are used to display special characters such


as the newline character.
A variable is a named location in the memory, which contains a
specific value.
A datatype defines the type of data that can be stored in a
variable.
The two types of data type are Value type and Reference type.
The ReadLine() method is used to accept inputs from the
user.
The using keyword is used to include the namespaces in the
program.
A namespace contains a set of related classes.
Member variables are declared inside the class body.

Object-Oriented Programming Using C#
Summary (Contd.)

Comment entries are notes written by a programmer in the


code so that others reading that code can understand it better.
An object is an instance of a class.

language like C# into the machine language.
