C# Basics for Beginners: Introduction to Programming with C#

Install the free Visual Studio Community edition and select the dotnet desktop development workload. Create your first console application named My First Project in Visual Studio.

Learn how to set your visual studio color theme, write and run your first c# program in the main method, and use console.writeline and console.readline to interact with the console.

Master variables in C# by learning int and double for numbers, string for words or sentences, and char for single characters, plus how quotes and var affect declarations for beginners.

Explore the bool variable type, also called boolean, which stores true or false. Although this course won't use booleans, recognize that true or false expresses a boolean value.

Practice declaring variables with the correct data types in Visual Studio, replacing question marks with integer, double, or string, as this homework for the course.

Follow the homework to declare int, double, string, char, and boolean variables in C#, with examples for first number, names, and a single character, using Visual Studio formatting tips.

Create a simple console calculator in c# by prompting for two numbers, parsing input with int.parse, and displaying the sum and product.

Create a simple greeting program in C-sharp for beginners that prompts for first and second name, reads strings from the console, and prints a personalized welcome message.

Learn if-else and conditional statements in C# basics by building a console app that asks for your age and decides if you may enter a bar based on 18-year threshold.

Learn to implement a switch statement in C# to replace if-else logic for an age-based access check, with cases 17, 18, and 19 and corresponding messages.

Practice writing a C# program that sums three user inputs and uses if-else statements to print whether the total is bigger than, lower than, or exactly 100 to the console.

Learn to read three numbers, compute their sum, and use if-else logic to print whether the total is bigger than 100, lower than 100, or exactly 100.

Learn how to use while loops to print numbers from 0 to 100, including proper increment to avoid infinite loops, and explore do-while syntax as an alternative.

Practice loops in C# by completing three for-loop exercises: print numbers 1 to 1000, print even numbers, and print odd numbers using the modulo operator to test parity.

Master C# loops in Visual Studio by building for loop programs that print numbers 1 to 1000 to the console and filter even and odd numbers using the modulo operator.

Learn how to define and call methods in C#. Pass arguments and use return types like void and int to perform operations.

Practice creating a method with a return type void named divide that prints two numbers divided, then call this divide method from main with two numbers.

Learn the basics of arrays by creating integer and string arrays, assigning values by index, and applying zero-based indexing and inline initialization for straightforward access.

Create a ten-element numbers array and print the index of a chosen number to the console. Create a days-of-week array and print Monday, Friday, and Sunday by their indexes.

Create a C# integer array of ten numbers and print value at index four, then build string array of days of week and print Monday, Friday, and Sunday by index.
