Concepts of Encapsulation and Abstraction (C#)

Encapsulation and abstraction is essential part of C sharp programming that is mostly used for hide complex code from unauthorized user and shows only relevant information.

What is encapsulation?

Encapsulation is the process of hiding irrelevant data from the user. To understand encapsulation, consider an example of mobile phone. Whenever you buy a mobile, you don’t see how circuit board works. You are also not interested to know how digital signal converts into analog signal and vice versa. These are the irrelevant information for the mobile user, that’s why it is encapsulated inside a cabinet.
In C# programming, we will do same thing. We will create a cabinet and keep all the irrelevant information in it that will be unavailable for the user.

What is abstraction?

Abstraction is just opposite of Encapsulation. Abstraction is mechanism to show only relevant data to the user. Consider the same mobile example again. Whenever you buy a mobile phone, you see their different types of functionalities as camera, mp3 player, calling function, recording function, multimedia etc. It is abstraction, because you are seeing only relevant information instead of their internal engineering.

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...
