Theoretical Questions
 Answer the following Questions.
Question# 1 Define the following terms

a. .Net Framework

.NET is a developer platform made up of tools, programming languages, and libraries for
building many different types of applications.

There are various implementations of .NET. Each implementation allows .NET code to execute
in different places—Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and many more.

1. .NET Framework is the original implementation of .NET. It supports running websites, services,
desktop apps, and more on Windows.

b. Framework Class Library

NET Framework Class Library is the collection of classes, namespaces, interfaces and value
types that are used for .NET applications.

It contains thousands of classes that supports the following functions.

 Base and user-defined data types

 Support for exceptions handling
 input/output and stream operations
 Communications with the underlying system
 Access to data
 Ability to create Windows-based GUI applications
 Ability to create web-client and server applications
 Support for creating web services

c. .Net Common Language Runtime

d. namespaces in .Net
 Namespaces are the way to organize .NET Framework Class Library into a
logical grouping according to their functionality, usability as well as
category they should belong to, or we can say Namespaces are logical
grouping of types for the purpose of identification.
e. Assembly

An assembly language is a low-level programming language designed for a

specific type of processor. It may be produced by compiling source code
from a high-level programming language (such as C/C++) but can also be
written from scratch. Assembly code can be converted to machine code
using an assembler

f. Common Language Specification

g. A Common Language Specification (CLS) is a document that says how

computer programs can be turned into Common Intermediate Language
(CIL) code. ... Microsoft has defined CLS which are nothing but
guidelines for languages to follow so that it can communicate with
other . NET languages in a seamless manner.``1

h. Visual Programming

n computing, a visual programming language (VPL) is any programming

language that lets users create programs by manipulating program
elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually.
i. Use of keyword “new” in C-Sharp

Use the new keyword to create an instance of the array −

int [] a = new int[5];

The new operator is used to create an object or instantiate an object

j. Structured Programming, Object Oriented Programming, Procedural Programming,

Visual Programming, Event Driven Programming Languages

Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed at improving the

clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making
extensive use of the structured control flow constructs of selection and
repetition, block structures, and subroutine

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a computer programming model that

organizes software design around data, or objects, rather than functions
and logic. An object can be defined as a data field that has unique
attributes and behavior.

The focus of procedural programming is to break down a programming task

into a collection of variables, data structures, and subroutines,
whereas in object-oriented programming it is to break down a
programming task into objects that expose behavior (methods) and data
(members or attributes) using interfaces

event-driven programming is when a program is designed to respond to

user engagement in various forms. It is known as a programming paradigm
in which the flow of program execution is determined by “events.”
Events are any user interaction, such as a click or key press, in
response to prompt from the system.
 k. List down five languages in each of the language categories given in Q#1 Part-j.
l. Why static is used with Main() method in Program.cs file?
A main method is static because it is available to run when your program
starts and as it is the entry point of the program it runs without
creating an instance of the class

m. How C# differs from Java

Java is a class-based Object Oriented language whereas C# is Object-

Oriented, functional, strong typing, component-oriented. Java doesn't
support for operator overloading whereas C# provides operator
overloading for multiple operators. Java does not support pointers while
C# supports pointer only in an unsafe mode.

n. tnWhen was .Net Framework first launched?

The first version of . NET Framework was released on 13 February 2002,
bringing managed code to Windows NT 4.0, 98, 2000, ME and XP. Since the
first version, Microsoft has released nine more upgrades for . NET
Framework, seven of which have been released along with a new version of
Visual Studio

o. Pl----ll-l--pWhat .Net Framework is currently in the Market?

p. List Down all the .Net Framework available or developed so far?
q. What is event?
r. What is property?

Question# 4 What are the differences between JAVA and C-Sharp language?

Java vs C#
Last Updated: 18-05-2020
C# is a general-purpose, modern and object-oriented programming language pronounced as “C
sharp”. It was developed by Microsoft led by Anders Hejlsberg and his team.

Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based,

object-oriented etc. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java
virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.

Question# 5 What are the qualities of good project (Window or Web based)?

 Well Designed and Functional. Your site reflects your company, your products, your services and
ultimately your brand. ...
 Easy to Use. ...
 Optimized for Mobile. ...
 Fresh, Quality Content. ...
 Readily accessible contact and location. ...
 Clear calls to action. ...
 Optimized for Search and the Social Web.

Question# 6 What is the function of using MSIL.

The Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), also known as the Common

Intermediate Language (CIL) is a set of instructions that are platform
independent and are generated by the language-specific compiler from the
source code

Question# 7 What is a Console Application?

A Console Application, in the context of C#, is an application that takes

inputs and displays output at a command-line console with access to three
basic streams: standard input, standard output, and standard erro

Question# 8 Differentiate between Console.Read() and Console.ReadLine()

The only difference between the Read() and ReadLine() is that Console. Read is
used to read only single character from the standard output device, while
Console. ReadLine is used to read a line or string from the standard output
device.May

Question# 9 Differentiate between Console.Write() and Console.WriteLine()

The difference between Write() and WriteLine() method is based on new line
character. Write() method displays the output but do not provide a new line
gtfcharacter. WriteLine() method displays the output and also provides a new
line character it the end of the string, This would set a new line for the
next output.

Question# 10 Differentiate between Double and double; String and string, int, Int16, Int32 and
Int64.

Double is an object and double is a primitive data type. ... The Double class
wraps a value of the primitive type double in an object. An object of type
Double contains a single field whose type is double

Essentially, there is no difference between string and String (capital S) in C#.

String (capital S) is a class in the .NET framework in the System namespace. The fully qualified
name is System.String. Whereas, the lower case string is an alias of System.String.

Int16: This Struct is used to represents 16-bit signed integer. The Int16 can
store both types of values including negative and positive between the ranges
of -32768 to +32767

Int32: This Struct is used to represents 32-bit signed integer. The Int32 can
store both types of values including negative and positive between the ranges
of -2147483648 to +2147483647

Int64: This Struct is used to represents 64-bit signed integer. The Int64 can store both types of
values including negative and positive between the ranges of -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to +9,
223,372,036,854,775,807
Question# 11 Define the syntax of using

a. if statement

The syntax for if statement is as follows: if (condition) instruction;

The condition evaluates to either true or false. True is always a non-
zero value, and false is a value that contains zero.
b. nested if-statement

c. if-else statement
d. nested if-else statement
e. switch statement
f. for loop
g. while loop
h. do-while loop
i. Give programming example of break and conditional operators in C-Sharp
j. declaring and initializing one dimensional array
k. declaring and initializing two dimensional array
Question# 12 What are command line arguments? How command line arguments are used

Properties of Command Line Arguments:

They are passed to main() function. They are parameters/arguments supplied to

the program when it is invoked. They are used to control program from outside
instead of hard coding those values inside the code. argv[argc] is a NULL
pointer.

Question# 13 What are Strings? How String Variables are declared in C-Sharp.

In C#, you can use strings as array of characters, However, more common
practice is to use the string keyword to declare a string variable. The string
keyword is an alias for the System. String class

Question# 14 How String array is declared? Declare an Array of size 50.

Question# 15

1. what is class?

Everything in C# is associated with classes and objects, along with its

attributes and methods. For example: in real life, a car is an object.
The car has attributes, such as weight and color, and methods, such as
drive and brake. A Class is like an object constructor, or a "blueprint"
for creating objects.
2. How class is declared in C-Sharp?
The name of the class follows the class keyword. The name of the class
must be a valid C# identifier name. The remainder of the definition is
the class body, where the behavior and data are defined. Fields,
properties, methods, and events on a class are collectively referred to
as class member
 3. How methods are overloaded in C-Sharp?
Overloading happens when you have two methods with the same name but
different signatures (or arguments). In a class we can implement two or
more methods with the same name. Overloaded methods are differentiated
based on the number and type of parameter passed as arguments to the
methods.

4. Design a class for Patient with Patient_Number, Patient_Name, Disease_Type instance

variables. Add methods for reading, displaying and searching data. Finally, instantiate the
class and test the class methods.

Question# 16

1. what is inheritance in C-Sharp?

Inheritance is a feature of object-oriented programming languages that
allows you to define a base class that provides specific functionality
(data and behavior) and to define derived classes that either inherit or
override that functionality
2. Define the base and sub class?
A base class is also called parent class or superclass. Derived Class: A
class that is created from an existing class. ... A Derived class is
also called a child class or subclass.

3. How Inheritance is done in C#

In C#, it is possible to inherit fields and methods from one class to
another. We group the "inheritance concept" into two categories: Derived
Class (child) - the class that inherits from another class. Base Class
(parent) - the class being inherited from

4. Differentiate between Single and Multilevel Inheritance?

Single inheritance is one in which the derived class inherits the single
base class. Whereas multiple inheritance is one in which the derived
 class acquires two or more base classes. ... While in multiple
inheritance, the derived class uses the joint features of the inherited
base classes

5. Does C-Sharp support Multiple Inheritance?

Multiple Inheritance isn't supported in C#. To implement multiple
inheritances, use Interfaces
6. Design the classes to show the concepts of Single, Multilevel and Multiple Inheritance in
C-Sharp?
