Description

• Module 1: Learn the difference between many data types, how they work, what they do, and how to choose one over another.

  In this module, you will:

  • Learn the fundamental differences between value types and reference types.
  • Describe the properties of many new numeric data types, including new integral types and floating point types.
  • Write code that returns the maximum and minimum values that numeric data types can store.
  • Use the new keyword to create new instances of a reference type.
  • Determine which data type you should choose for a given application.
  • Module 2: Take control of the data in your applications, knowing when to apply the correct technique to change data types as needed.

    In this module, you will:

    • Use the casting operator to cast a value into a different data type.
    • Use conversion methods to convert a value into a different data type.
    • Guard against the loss of data when performing a cast or conversion operation.
    • Use the TryParse() method to safely convert a string into a numeric data type.
    • Module 3: Use powerful helper methods to manipulate and control the content of arrays.

      In this module, you will:

      • Sort and reverse the order of array elements.
      • Clear and resize the elements of an array.
      • Split a string into an array of strings or characters (chars).
      • Join array elements into a string.
      • Module 4: Use C# to format strings with white space, special characters, padding, and alignment. Give context to numeric data like currency, percentages, and numbers with decimals.

        In this module, you will:

        • Use character escape sequences to add tabs, new lines, and Unicode characters to our strings
        • Create verbatim string literals, and escape common characters like backslash and double-quotes
        • Merge templates with variables using composite formatting and string interpolation
        • Include various format specifiers for percentages, currency, and numbers
        • Module 5: Use built in methods to extract, remove, or replace data in strings.

          In this module, you will:

          • Identify the position of a character or string inside of another string
          • Extract portions of strings
          • Remove portions of strings
          • Replace values in strings with different values
