C# Practice Questions

1. The document provides exercises to test a reader's knowledge of programming in C# and covers topics like variables, operators, branching, looping, namespaces, and more advanced questions. 2. It includes sample code snippets and problems for readers to try themselves to reinforce understanding of C# concepts without having to hand in answers. 3. More challenging questions at the end cover converting variable types, value types vs reference types, escape sequences, and differences between operators like & and &&.

Programming an experiment with Unity – Part 1 exercises – Trevor Dodds

1 C# Exercises
1.1 Get setup
• Download and install Mono.
• Write a Hello World program in C# (see below).
• Compile it with mcs, execute it with mono.
This enables you to play around and try the examples below.

1.2 HelloWorld.cs
using System;

class HelloWorld
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");
}
}
Compile with mcs HelloWorld.cs
Run with mono HelloWorld.exe

1.3 Exercises – test yourself


Here are some questions so you can test your C# knowledge. These are exercises for yourself, you do not
have to hand in your answers! Some of them are a little tricky, to help C++ programmers make the change!
Some examples were taken from the book Beginning Visual C# 2010 by Karli Watson.

1. (General) Do you know what .NET is, and what is Mono?

2. (Variables) Why do we have to define types of variables (in many programming languages)? Why is
there more than one numerical type?

3. (Operators) Make sure you understand the C# operators. They are listed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/6a71f45d.aspx – As a practise, what would the following code output?
int a = 5, b = 10, c = 5;

if ((a > 6 || b < 11) && c == 5)


Console.WriteLine("test1");
else
Console.WriteLine("test2");

4. (Namespaces) What is a namespace and what does the using directive do?

5a. (Branching) What’s the result of this statement (ternary operator)?

int b = 5;
int a = (b < 10) ? 1 : 2;

5b. Make sure you understand the use of the if statement (see above example), and switch.

6a. (Looping) What does the following code produce?

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)


{
if ((i % 2) == 0)
continue;
Console.WriteLine(i);
}

6b. The same process has been implemented using a while loop. But what is wrong with the code here?

int i = 1;
while (i <= 10)
{
if ((i % 2) == 0)
continue;
Console.WriteLine("{0}", i++);
}

7. (Test) What does the following program do?

using System;

class Program
{

static void Main(string[] args)


{
double balance, interestRate, targetBalance;

Console.WriteLine("What is your current balance?");


balance = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());

Console.WriteLine("What is your current annual interest rate (in %)?");


interestRate = 1 + Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine()) / 100.0;

Programming an experiment with Unity – Part 1 exercises – Trevor Dodds

Console.WriteLine("What balance would you like to have?");


targetBalance = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());

int totalYears = 0;
while (balance < targetBalance)
{
balance *= interestRate;
++totalYears;
}

Console.WriteLine("In {0} year{1} you’ll have a balance of {2}.",


totalYears, totalYears == 1 ? "": "s", balance);

if (totalYears == 0)
Console.WriteLine(
"To be honest, you really didn’t need to use this calculator.");

Console.ReadKey();
}

1.4 More advanced questions


Here are some more challenging questions, in case the above exercises were too easy.

8. (Variables) How can we convert from one variable type to another in C#?

9. (Value/reference) What’s the difference between a value type and reference type in C#? What is
boxing and unboxing?

10. (Escape sequences) What will the following output in C#:

Console.WriteLine("Testing\noutput\tusing\0escape sequences");

11. (Operators)
Some operators are difficult to tell apart, e.g. & and &&
What is the difference between the & operator and && in the following if statements?

Programming an experiment with Unity – Part 1 exercises – Trevor Dodds

bool var1 = false, var2 = true;

if (var1 & var2)


Console.WriteLine("AND1");

if (var1 && var2)


Console.WriteLine("AND2");

What does the following code produce and why?

int a = 5, b = 6;
Console.WriteLine("a & b = {0}", a & b);
