Syntax of variables in C#.NET

 Syntax of Variables & Fields

Variables are used to store values. More technically, a variable binds an object (in the general sense of the term, i.e. a specific value) to an identifier (the variable's name) so that the object can be accessed later.

 Example:

string strTitle = "Variables & Fields in C#";

Console.WriteLine(name);

 name is identifier and "Variables & Fields in C#" is the value that would bound to it.

 Fields

Fields, sometimes called class-level variables, are variables associated with classes or structures. An instance variable is a field associated with an instance of the class or structure, while a static variable, declared with the static keyword, is a field associated with the type itself. Fields can also be associated with their class by making them constants (const), which requires a declaration assignment of a constant value and prevents subsequent changes to the field.

Each field has a visibility of public, protected, internal, protected internal, or private (from most visible to least visible)

So, in C# we have 4 types of variables

1.               Instance Variables

2.             Class Variables

3.             Variables

4.             Parameters

 

Instance and Class variables are called Fields. 

Instance Variables

 These are where the variables belong to class but are not static. Whenever we create a instance, that instance has its own variables.

Commonly in C# such variables have a Getter and Setter; The getter is a method that allows us to read value and setter is a method that allows to set value.

 Example:

class Student{

            public string name;

            public string name{

            get{

                        return name;

            }

            set{

                        name=value;

            }

            }

            public int SID;

            public string Course;

} 

 

Class Variables

These are variables are static when declare, so whenever a new instance is made then those variables become non static.

These variables are also known as static variables. 

All the instances will read from the same variables.

Example:

public class Student

{

public static float stdFee = 10500; 

} 

Local Variables

These variables are declared inside of methods, not in a class. So it may be that you are using local variables to store a value from another class. 

Example

public class Student

{

public static float stdFee = 10500;

            public void displayMessage()

            {

            int repeat =4; // local variables 

for(int i =0; i<=4; i++)

{

Console.WriteLine(“Hi,Welcome to Local Vriables Demo”);

}

        }

}

 Parameters

A parameter is used to pass objects into a method. The method can use these variables to assist in its behaviors. 

Example

public class Student

{

public string courseTitle = “C#”; 

public string getcourseTitle()

{          

return courseTitle;

}

// here we are passing coursename parameter to the function to set course title..this is parmeter variable and only uses inside of method for its behaviour.

public void setcourseTitle(string coursename)

{

this.courseTitle = coursename;

}}
