Lab 1
Hello World
1.1 Objective
This lab aims to introduce students to the integrated development environ-
ment named Microsoft Visual Studio.
1.2 Problem
Write a program that defines two variables. The first variable is of type
string and it should store your name. The second variable is of type int
and it should store your age. Afterward, print the values of the two variables
to the screen.
1
Lab 2
Type Conversion
2.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students on using type casting and type conversion.
2.2 Problem
Write a program that takes a floating-point number as input and prints its
rounded value to the screen.
3
Lab 3
Arithmetic Operations
3.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students to analyze a problem and develop a program
to solve it. This should take place by determining the inputs and the outputs
from the problem description. Afterward, determine the processing steps
required to generate the outputs from the inputs.
3.2 Problem
Write a program that allows for performing the four arithmetic operations
(i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication, ad division) on any two real num-
bers and prints the results on the screen.
5
Lab 4
Conditional Statements
4.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students on analyzing a problem, understand it, and
determine the steps required to solve it pragmatically. Moreover, introduce
the student to conditional statements, their role in a program, and when and
how to use them.
4.2 Problem
Write a program for a retail company that allows a user to enter a unit price
and the number of units. Afterward, the program should calculate the total
price. If the total price is less than 1000 £, the program should print a bill
with an amount due that is equal to the calculated total price. Otherwise,
the program should print a bill with an amount due that is equal to the
calculated total price after applying a discount of 10%.

Lab 5
Nested Conditional Statements
5.1 Objective
This lab aims to introduce students to nested conditional statements, help
students understand when to use them, and train students on using them.
5.2 Problem
The following program takes a number as input and outputs whether it is
even or odd as well as whether it is negative or positive.
1 using System;
2 namespace Lab05
3 {
4 class Program
5 {
6 static void Main()
7 {
8 Console.Write("Enter a number: ");
9 int n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
9
10 5.2. Problem
10
11 if(n % 2 == 0 && n < 0)
12 {
13 Console.WriteLine("Even and negative");
14 }
15
16 if (n % 2 == 0 && n >= 0)
17 {
18 Console.WriteLine("Even and positive");
19 }
20
21 if (n % 2 != 0 && n < 0)
22 {
23 Console.WriteLine("Odd and negative");
24 }
25
26 if (n % 2 != 0 && n >= 0)
27 {
28 Console.WriteLine("Odd and positive");
29 }
30 }
31 }
32 }
Every time the previous program is run, it requires the processor to perform
8 different comparisons. Rewrite that program using nested if statements to
reduce the number of required comparisons to 2 comparisons only, whenever
it is run.
Lab 6
Looping Statements
6.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students on using loops to print simple shapes.
6.2 Problem
Using loops, write a program to print the following shape on screen:
1 *****
2 *
3 *
4 *
5 *
6 *
7 *
8 *
11
12 6.2. Problem
In order to print output to the screen, you can only use:
• System.Console.Write(’*’)
• and System.Console.WriteLine()
Lab 7
Nested Looping Statements
7.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students on using nested loops to print complex shapes.
7.2 Problem
Using nested loops, write a program to print the following shape on screen:
1 **********
2 **** ****
3 *** ***
4 ** **
5 * *
6 * *
7 ** **
8 *** ***
9 **** ****
10 **********
13
14 7.2. Problem
In order to print output to the screen, you can only use:
• System.Console.Write(’*’)
• System.Console.Write(’ ’)
• System.Console.WriteLine()
Lab 8
One-Dimensional Arrays
8.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students to manipulate the elements of a one-dimensional
array.
8.2 Problem
Write a program that takes a set of integer values as input and prints them
to the screen in reverse order.
15
Lab 9
Two-Dimensional Arrays
9.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students to manipulate the elements of a two-dimensional
array using nested loops.
9.2 Problem
Complete the following program by providing the missing code in the posi-
tions designated by the comments.
17
18 9.2. Problem
1 using System;
2 namespace Lab11
3 {
4 class Program
5 {
6 static void Main()
7 {
8 int[,] a = {
9 { 1, 2, 3, 4 },
10 { 5, 6, 7, 8 },
11 { 9, 10, 11, 12 } };
12
13 Console.WriteLine("Matrix: ");
14
15 // MISSING CODE (print array a)
16
17 int[,] b = new int[4,3];
18
19 // MISSING CODE (transpose a and save it to b)
20
21 Console.WriteLine("Transposed matrix: ");
22
23 // MISSING CODE (print array b)
24 }
25 }
26 }
The output of the program should be as follows:
1 Matrix:
2 1 2 3 4
3 5 6 7 8
4 9 10 11 12
5 Transposed matrix:
6 1 5 9
7 2 6 10
8 3 7 11
9 4 8 12
Lab 10
Method Definition and Call
10.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students to read a method definition and understand
it. It also checks the student’s ability to understand the execution order of
called methods. Students should be able to use methods in such a way that
fulfills program specifications.
10.2 Problem
Write a program that prints the following on the screen:
19
20 10.2. Problem
1 Hello
2 Hello
3 Hello
4 Hi
5 Hello
6 Hello
7 Hi
This should be done by calling only the Method1 and Method2 with the
correct number of times and order from within the Main method without
adding any other code.
1 using System;
2
3 namespace Lab08
4 {
5 class Program
6 {
7 static void Main(string[] args)
8 {
9 // MISSING CODE
10 }
11
12 static void Method1()
13 {
14 Method2();
15 Console.WriteLine("Hi");
16 }
17 static void Method2()
18 {
19 Console.WriteLine("Hello");
20 }
21 }
22 }
Lab 11
Passing by Reference
11.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students to use pass by reference. The student should
understand the difference between passing by value and passing by reference.
Moreover, the student should recognize the benefits of passing by reference
(e.g. returning more than one value from a function).
11.2 Problem
Write a program to perform the four basic arithmetic operations on two nu-
meric values. The Main method should input the two values before calling
another method named Calc and pass the two values to it as arguments.
Afterward, the Calc method should calculate the summation, difference,
multiplication, and division of the passed values and return the results to
the Main method that should print the four results on the screen.
21
Lab 12
Arrays, Loops, and Methods
12.1 Objective
This lab aims to train students on passing an array as a parameter to a
method. It also aims to train students to manipulate array elements using
loops.
12.2 Problem
Complete the following program by providing a definition of the IndexOf
method that takes an array and a value as parameters. The method should
search for the value in the array. It should return the index of the value if
found in the array. Otherwise, it should return -1.
23
24 12.2. Problem
1 using System;
2
3 namespace Lab12
4 {
5 class Program
6 {
7 static void Main()
8 {
9 int[] x = { 12, 7, 1, 4, 18, 26, 30 };
10
11 Console.WriteLine("Index of 26 = {0}",
12 IndexOf(x, 26));
13
14 Console.WriteLine("Index of 81 = {0}",
15 IndexOf(x, 81));
16 }
17 }
18 }
The program output should be as follows:
1 Index of 26 = 5
2 Index of 81 = -1
