In C#, a variable is a way to store data in the computer’s memory to be used later in the program. C# is a type-safe language, meaning that when variables are declared it is necessary to define their data type.

Declaring the types of variables allows the compiler to stop the program from being run when variables are used incorrectly, i.e, an int being used when a string is needed or vice versa.

In C#, Math.Sqrt() is a Math class method which is used to calulate the square root of the specified value.

C# arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulo.

Addition: The + operator adds two operands.

Subtraction: The - operator subtracts two operands.

Multiplication: The * operator multiplies two operands.

Division: The / operator divides the first operand by the second.

Modulo: The % operator returns the remainder when the first operand is divided by the second.

In C#, operators can be combined to create shorter statements and quickly modify existing variables. These unary operators operate on a single operand.

Two common examples:

Increment: The ++ operator is used to increment the value of an integer.

Decrement: The -- operator is used to decrement the value of an integer.

In C#, Math.Pow() is a Math class method that is used to raise a number to a specified power. It returns a number of double type.

In C#, .ToUpper() is a string method that converts every character in a string to uppercase. If a character does not have an uppercase equivalent, it remains unchanged. For example, special symbols remain unchanged.

In C#, the IndexOf() method is a string method used to find the index position of a specified character in a string. The method returns -1 if the character isn’t found.

Strings contain characters. One way these char values can be accessed is with bracket notation. We can even store these chars in separate variables.

We access a specific character by using the square brackets on the string, putting the index position of the desired character between the brackets. For example, to get the first character, you can specify variable[0]. To get the last character, you can subtract one from the length of the string.

In C#, an escape sequence refers to a combination of characters beginning with a back slash \ followed by letters or digits. It’s used to make sure that the program reads certain characters as part of a string. For example, it can be used to include quotation marks within a string that you would like to print to console. Escape sequences can do other things using specific characters. \n is used to create a new line.

In C#, Substring() is a string method used to retrieve part of a string while keeping the original data intact. The substring that you retrieve can be stored in a variable for use elsewhere in your program.

Concatenation is the process of appending one string to the end of another string. The simplest method of adding two strings in C# is using the + operator.

In C#, .ToLower() is a string method that converts every character to lowercase. If a character does not have a lowercase equivalent, it remains unchanged. For example, special symbols remain unchanged.

The string class has a Length property, which returns the number of characters in the string.

String interpolation provides a more readable and convenient syntax to create formatted strings. It allows us to insert variable values and expressions in the middle of a string so that we don’t have to worry about punctuation or spaces.

The character combination \n represents a newline character when inside a C# string.

For example passing "Hello\nWorld" to Console.WriteLine() would print Hello and World on separate lines in the console.

In C#, the Console.ReadLine() method is used to get user input. The user input can be stored in a variable for later use. Console.ReadLine() can also be used to prompt the user to press enter on the keyboard.

In C# you can comment out lines of code so that they are not executed. These lines can be used to leave notes and increase the readability of the program. There are two types of comments you can make use of:

Single Line Comment: A single line comment is created with double slash //. Any text or code following the double slash on the same line is ignored during compilation.

Multi-Line Comment: A multi-line comment starts with symbol /* and with end symbol */. Any information between the two symbols is treated as a comment. It is useful for commenting out large blocks of code.
