- Learn how to configure Visual Studio Code for C# and how to use this professional IDE to create and run console applications.
In this module, you will:
Configure Visual Studio Code and your development environment for programming in C#.
Explore the Visual Studio Code user interface.
Create, edit, build, and run a console application using Visual Studio Code.
- Use functionality in the .NET Class Library by calling methods that return values, accept input parameters, and more.
In this module, you will:
Write code that calls stateless methods in the .NET Class Library.
Create a new instance of .NET Class Library classes to call methods that maintain state.
Use IntelliSense to learn more about a method, its overloaded versions, its return value data type, and its input parameter data types.
Use Microsoft Learn documentation to research what a method does, its overloaded versions, its return value type, its input parameters and what each parameter represents.
- Learn to branch your code's execution path by evaluating Boolean expressions.
In this module, you will:
Write code that evaluates conditions using if, else, and else if statements.
Build Boolean expressions to evaluate a condition.
Combine Boolean expressions using logical operators.
Nest code blocks within other code blocks.
- Learn to create array variables and iterate through elements of the array.
In this module, you will:
Create and initialize a new array.
Set and get values in arrays.
Iterate through each element of an array using the foreach statement.
- Write code that is easier to read, update and support using naming conventions, comments and whitespace.
In this module, you will:
Choose descriptive names for variables that describe their purpose and intent.
Use code comments to temporarily instruct the compiler to ignore lines of code.
Use code comments to describe higher-level requirements or purpose for a passage of code.
Write code that effectively uses whitespace to convey the relationship of lines of code.
- Gain experience developing a console app that implements arrays, foreach loops, and if statements to achieve app specifications.
In this module, you'll practice how to:
Use Visual Studio Code to develop a C# console application that uses foreach loops to access array data.
Use if statements to evaluate conditions and create code branches.
- Demonstrate your ability to update a console app that implements arrays, foreach loops, and if statements in response to a user requested feature update.
In this module, you'll demonstrate your ability to:
Revise a C# console application that uses nested foreach loops to access array data based on an updated feature specification.
Update the variables and if statements in a C# console application to create the code branches and calculations required to satisfy an updated feature specification.
