General

• Current C# version: 6.

Concepts

• Assignment Operator (=) – Sets the value on the left of equals to the value on the right of equals.
• Cast – Forces a conversion of type on a variable even though it may result in data loss.
  • iInteger = (int)1LongInteger;
• Code Block – Groups several commands together using braces {}.
• Definite Assignment – A variable must have a value assigned to it before it can be read.
• Literal – A type of constant that contains a fixed value (numeric).
• Namespace – Groups together related functionality.
• Strongly vs. Weakly Typed – Programming languages may be strongly or weakly typed. A strongly typed language requires that each variable have a declared type (such as integer or string) while a weakly typed language attempts to figure out the type of a variable on its own.
• Type Conversion – Changing a variable’s type in order to support the value being assigned to it.
• static – The method can be called directly instead of creating an object and operating on the object.
• void – One can declare a method void. This means that the method does not (and cannot) return a value. – MSDN, DotNetPerls.
