C# Method Declaration

Method is the building block of object-oriented programming. It combines related code together and makes program easier. In C# method declaration, you can declare method by following way:

 < Access Specifier> < Return Type> < Method Name> (Parameter list)
 {
    Body
 }  



Example: 

public void add()
 {
      Body
 }



In the preceding example, the public is an access specifier,  void  is a return data type that return nothing and add() is a method name. There is no parameter define in add() method.


If the function returns interger value, then you can define function as follow:


public void add()
 {
      Body
 }



If the function is returning string value, then you can define function as follow:



 public string printname()
 {
      Body
 }






You must remember, whenever use return data type with method, must return value using return keyword from body. If you don’t want to return any value, then you can use void data type.


Example:

using System;

namespace Declaring_Method
{
  class Program
   {
     string name, city;
     int age;

     // Creating method for accepting details
     public void acceptdetails()
      {
        Console.Write("\nEnter your name:\t");
        name = Console.ReadLine();

        Console.Write("\nEnter Your City:\t");
        city = Console.ReadLine();

        Console.Write("\nEnter your age:\t\t");
        age = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
      }

     // Creating method for printing details
     public void printdetails()
      {
        Console.Write("\n\n===================");
        Console.Write("\nName:\t" + name);
        Console.Write("\nCity:\t" + city);
        Console.Write("\nAge:\t" + age);
        Console.Write("\n===================\n");
      }

     static void Main(string[] args)
      {
        Program p = new Program();
        p.acceptdetails();
        p.printdetails();
        Console.ReadLine();
      }
   }
}



Output


Enter your name:     Aav Kumar

Enter Your City:     dhanbad

Enter your age:      18


===================================
Name:   Aav Kumar
City:   dhanbad
Age:    18
==================================


Guidelines:
1. You can define multiple functions within a class.

2. If you are using return data type instead of void, then must return appropriate value with return keyword.

C# Array

Array is a collection of variable of same data type. If you have declare 1000 integer variable, then you can declare an integer type array of 1000 size. The value of array can be accessed using index position of array. The first index position of array is zero. In C#, there two types of array: Single Dimensional Array and Multi Dimensional Array. You can use both type of array easily and can access its element using loop constructs or index position.

Structure (C#)

Structure is the value type data type that can contain variables, methods, properties, events and so on. It simplifies the program and enhance performance of code in C# programming. The structure encapsulate small group of related variables inside a single user-defined data type. It improves speed and memory usage and also enhances performance and clarity of your code. How to use structure in C#? It is very simple to use structure in C#. The following programming example will show you to how to create and use structure in C# programming. Programming Example of Structure (C#) using System; namespace Structure {    class Program    {      // creating three different variable in single structure       struct book        {          public string bookname;          public int price;          public stri...
