C# Programming Language
An object-oriented and component-oriented language. It exists as part of Visual Studio 2008, a package used for developing applications for the Windows family of operating systems.
Block Comments
Start with a forward slash and an asterisk (/) and end with an asterisk and a forward slash (/). Block comments can appear on a line by themselves, on a line before executable code, or after executable code.
Machine Language
The most basic circuitry-level language.
Method Body
Contained within a pair of curly braces({}) and includes all the instructions executed by the method.
Syntax Error
An error that occurs when a programming language is used incorrectly.
Whitespace
Any combination of spaces, tabs, and carriage returns (blank lines). You use whitespace to organize your program code and make it easier to read.
Properties
An object's values.
Program Comments
Nonexecuting statements that you add to document a program.
Command Line
The line on which you type a command in a system that uses a text interface
High Level Programming Language
Allows you to use a vocabulary of reasonable terms such as read, write or add instead of the sequence of on/off switches that perform these tasks.
Literal String
a series of characters that is used exactly as entered.
Polymorphism
The ability to create methods that act appropriately depending on the context.
Source Code
The statements you write when you create a program.
State of an Object
The collective value of all an object's attributes at any point in time.
Write() Method
Displays a line of output on the screen, but the cursor does not advance to a new line; it remains on the same line as the output.
Compiler
A computer program that translates high-level language statements into machine code.
Camel Casing
A style of creating identifiers in which the first letter is not capitalized, but each new word is.
Access Modifier
Defines the circumstances under which a method or class can be accessed; public access is the most liberal type of access.
States
The values of an objects attributes.
Pascal Casing
A style of creating identifiers in which the first letter of all new words in a variable name, even the first one, is capitalized.
Keywords
Predefined and reserved identifiers that have special meaning to the compiler.
Alias
An alternative name for a class.
Primitive Data
simple data, such as a number.
Procedural Program
A series of steps or operations to manipulate values.
Debugging
The process of removing all syntax and logical errors from the program.
WriteLine() Method
Displays a line of output on the screen, positions the cursor on the next line, and waits for additional output.
System Namespace
Built into the C# compiler, holds commonly used classes.
Objects
Program elements that are instances of a class.
Black Box
A device you use without regard for the internal mechanisms.
XML Documentation Format Comments
A special set of tags within angle brackets to create documentation from within a program.
Identifier
The name of a program component such as a variable, class, or method
Variables
Named computer memory location that hold values that may vary.
Argument or Parameter
represent information that a method needs to perform its task. An argument is the expression used when you call a method, while a parameter is an object or reference that is declared in a method definition; that is where the method instructions are written.
Interface
The interaction between a method and an object.
Line Comments
Start with two forward slashes (//) and continue to the end of the current line. Line comments can appear on a line by themselves, or at the end of a line following executable code.
Attributes
An objects characteristics
Intermediate Language (IL)
The language into which source code statements are compiled.
Program
Set of instructions that you write to tell a computer what to do.
Encapsulation
The technique of packaging an object's attributes and methods into a cohesive unit that can be used as an undivided entity.
Logic
Involves executing the various statements and methods in the correct order to produce the desired results.
Method Header
Includes the method name and information about what will pass into and be returned from a method
Class
A category of objects or a type of object.
Command Prompt
A request for input that appears at the beginning of the command line.
Verbatim Identifier
An identifier with an @ prefix.
Syntax
A language's set of rules.
Namespace
A scheme that provides a way to group similar classes.
Object-oriented programming
A programming technique that features objects, classes, encapsulation, interfaces, polymorphism, and inheritance.
Inheritance
The ability to extend a class so as to create a more specific class that contains all the attributes and methods of a more general class; the extended class usually contains new attributes or methods as well.
Procedures or Methods
A compartmentalized program unit that accomplishes tasks.
Semantic Errors
Type of logical errors that occur when you use a correct word in the wrong context.
