Objectives

Whenyou’vefinishedthearticle,youwillhave:

∙Ahigh-levelunderstandingoftheC#programminglanguage.

∙Ahigh-levelunderstandingofthe.NETframework.

∙AclearviewofthedifferencesandsimilaritiesintheimplementationofbasicscenariosinC#versusJavaandObjective-C.

IntroductiontoC#

Simple

BeingapartoftheMicrosoft.NETplatform,C#applicationsreceivesupportfromtheruntime,andtheyuseservicesprovidedbytheruntime.The.NETframeworkisamanagedenvironment:

C#supportsoperatoroverloading,similarlytoC++;JavaandObjective-Cdonotsupportit.

Inheritance-relatedfeaturesareclearerandmoreprecisethaninC++:

Anabstractkeywordisusedinsteadofdeclaringpurevirtualfunctions.

Abstractclassesaredeclaredassuchdirectlybyusingtheabstractkeyword,notindirectlybylackofmethod/functionimplementation（"purevirtualfunctions"）.

Anabstractclassmaybecompletelyimplementedandyetbedeclaredabstractforarchitecturalreasons.

Anoverridekeywordisusedforoverridingavirtualmethod.

Newclassmembertypes,suchaspropertiesandindexers,areintroducedtosimplifycommontaskssuchaslistiterationandpropertygettingandsetting.

LessErrorProne

C#islesserror-pronethanC++duetothefollowingcharacteristics:

UnlikeC++,whereitispossibletodeclareanytypeofpointerandassignittoanyallocatedaddressorcastittoanyothertype,C#allowsonlytype-safecasting.Castingerrorsaredetectedateithercompiletimeoratruntime.However,ineithersituation,youwillnotmissanyerrors.

TheuseofGenerictypesallowstemplateclassestoremaintype-safeatcompiletime.Thisallowstheprogrammertodetecterrorsduringcompile,ratherthanatruntime.

RunningunderthemanagedCLR,boundscheckingisperformedformanagedarraysautomaticallywhileaccessingtheallocatedarraymemberobject.Thispreventsaccidentalmemorycorruption.

Modern

C#providesabuilt-ineventhandlerforsimplerhandlingofintegrated（forexample,GUIandWeb）applicationrequirements.

C#providesacompletereflectionmechanism,allowingobjectmetadatatobeexploredduringruntime.

ObjectOriented

C#supportsthethreepillarsofObject-OrientedProgramming:

Encapsulation

Aclasshastoolstohideitsimplementationdetailsandberesponsibleforitsobjects’state

Inheritance

The“isa”relationshipcanbedefinedbetweenclasses,enablingextensibilityandreusability

Polymorphism

Aprogramcanhandledifferenttypesofobjectsidentically,sharingthesamebase,havingpolymorphicbehavior,basedonspecificobjecttypes

EverythinginC#ispartofatype（forexample,class,interface,andstruct）.Thereareno“global”（non-member）functionsorvariables.

Everytypeinstance“isanobject.”Alltypesarederivedfromacommonbaseclass:

object.

WhiletheseconceptsareveryfamiliartoJavadevelopers,theyarefundamentallydifferent（andinsomecasesevencompletelynew）forC/C++/Objective-Cdevelopers.

AfewwordsaboutJava

“HelloC#!

”

Historically,allarticlesaboutprogramminglanguagesstartwitha“HelloWorld!

”sample.Thisarticlewillfollowthistradition–hereisaC#versionofthispopularprogram:

C#

usingSystem;

classHelloApp

{

staticvoidMain（）

{

Console.WriteLine（"HelloC#!

"）;

}

}

Thiscodereferencesthe"System"namespace,whichprovidesthe"Console"class,declaresaclassandenclosed"Main"staticmethod,which,inturn,callstheConsoleclass’s"WriteLine"staticmethodtooutputastring.

Note:

RunningtheabovesampledirectlyunderWindowsPhone7willnotproduceanytangibleoutput,astheWindowsPhone7consoleisnotaccessible.Thecodeprovidedisonlyforcomparison.

LetusseethesameprogramwritteninJava:

Java

publicclassHelloWorld{

publicstaticvoidmain（String[]args）{

System.out.println（"HelloJava!

"）;

}

}

AndnowinObjective-C:

Objective-C

#import

intmain（intargc,constchar*argv[]）{

printf（"HelloObjective-C!

\n"）;

return0;

}

Thefirstdifferenceisincodeorganization:

whilebothC#andJavahaveaclasswithonemethod,Objective-Chasjustamethod.

Theseconddifferenceliesinthesignatureofthemethod:

inC#,the“Main”methodmuststartwithcapital“M”,whileinJavaandObjective-C,itisnotarequirement.The“String[]”argumentforthe“Main”methodinC#isoptional.

Thethirddifferenceisinthe“Main”method’sreturntype:

inC#（andJava）,itreturnsvoidwhileinObjective-Citreturns“int”.InC#,theMainmethodcouldalsoreturnan“int”value.

Themoreweexaminethecodethemoredifferenceswewilldiscover.

DefiningaClass

Muchofobject-orientedprogrammingconsistsofwritingcodefornewobjects—definingnewclasses.TheclassdefinitionsinC#andJavaarefairlysimilar:

C#（andJava）

classFraction

{

publicintnumerator;

publicintdenominator;

publicvoidPrint（）

{

//C#

Console.WriteLine（"{0}/{1}",numerator,denominator）;

//Java

//System.out.println（newPrintfFormat（"%d/%d"）.sprintf（numerator,denominator））;

}

}

InObjective-C,classesaredefinedintwoparts:

1.Aninterfacethatdeclaresthemethodsandinstancevariablesoftheclassandnamesitssuperclass

2.Animplementationthatactuallydefinestheclass（containsthecodethatimplementsitsmethods）

Typically,thesearesplitbetweentwofiles,thoughsometimesaclassdefinitionmayspanseveralfilesbyusingafeaturecalleda“category.”Thesameclass/interfacewritteninObjective-C:

Objective-C

#import

@interfaceFraction:

NSObject{

intnumerator;

intdenominator;

}

-（void）print;

-（void）setNumerator:

（int）n;

-（void）setDenominator:

（int）d;

-（int）numerator;

-（int）denominator;

@end

Objective-C

#import"Fraction.h"

#import

-（void）print{

printf（"%i/%i",numerator,denominator）;

}

-（void）setNumerator:

（int）n{

numerator=n;

}

-（void）setDenominator:

（int）d{

denominator=d;

}
