88
Q

What is the difference between a Class variable and an Instance variable?

A

Class variables only have one copy that is shared by all the different objects of a class, whereas every object has it’s own personal copy of an instance variable. So, instance variables across different objects can have different values whereas class variables across different objects can have only one value.

89
Q

Can Static Methods be instantiated?

A

No

90
Q

What is a Deep Copy?

A

If an object has pointers to dynamically allocated memory, and the dynamically allocated memory needs to be copied when the original object is copied, then a Deep Copy is required.

91
Q

What is a Shallow Copy?

A

A Shallow Copy of an object copies all of the member field values.

92
Q

It is possible to Implement Interface members using the keyword Static or Const?

A

No

93
Q

A

No

94
Q

Are Unary operators and Assignment operators right or left associative?

A

Right

95
Q

What is an Explicit Conversion or Cast?

A

Casting is required when information might be lost in a conversion from one type to another, or when the conversion might not succeed for other reasons. A typical example would be numeric conversion to a type that has less precision or a smaller range.

float x = 3.25;
int y = (int)x; // y == 3

96
Q

How would you Cast “x” as an int?

A

(int)x

97
Q

What is the goal of Object Oriented Programming?

A

Modularity and Extensibility

98
Q

Write code using a Ternary Operator that sets x equal to y if x is greater than y, or sets x equal to b if x is less than or equal to y

A

x > y ? x = y : x = b

99
Q

In .NET, do you immediately create operating system-specific native code, or do you compile into Common Intermediate Language code?

A

Common Intermediate Language code

100
Q

What are Collection classes used for in general?

A

Maintaining lists of objects

101
Q

What keyword can you use to declare a variable without specifying a data type explicitly?

A

var

102
Q

Are strings Immutable in C#?

A

Yes

103
Q

Can you apply Access Modifiers to Interface Members?

A

No

104
Q

What would the code look like where a FileInfo class implements an IFile interface?

A

class FileInfo : IFile

105
Q

What keyword would you use to split a Method?

A

partial

106
Q

How might a partial class definition be used?

A

Put the fields, properties, and constructor in one file, and the method in another

107
Q

Can a Method be split between files?

A

Yes. Using partial

108
Q

Can Partial Methods be static?

A

Yes

109
Q

Must a Class that implements an Interface implement all of the Members defined by that interface?

A

Yes

110
Q

A Class that Implements an Interface must implement the members with what modifier?

A

Private

111
Q

What are some restrictions Partial methods have?

A

No return value, No out parameters

112
Q

Properties and Methods can be defined as ______ or ______ in Base Classes to define Inheritance

A

113
Q

What do Collections enable you to maintain?

A

Groups of Objects

114
Q

What is the Ternary Operator syntax?

A

condition ? do if true : do if false

115
Q

How would you declare a “x” as a nullable int?

A

int? x

116
Q

Why not to use “var” everywhere?

A

“var” isn’t a performance hit, but it can make code harder to understand. “var” obscures the actual variable type, so if the initializer doesn’t return a clearly defined type then you may not be able to tell the what type of data you’re dealing with

117
Q

How would you declare a function called “MyFunc” with a nullable boolean parameter named “flag”?

A

MyFunc (bool? flag) { }

118
Q

How would you declare a function called “EvalPi” with a parameter of type double called “input” that has a default value of “3.14”?

A

EvalPi (double input = 3.14) { }

That function’s scope is limited to the file where it is declared. It can’t be exported, or called elsewhere

139
Q

How would you create a list of type string?

A

List

140
Q

What does the Abstract Keyword enable you to do?

A

The abstract keyword enables you to create classes and class members that are incomplete and must be implemented in a derived class

141
Q

Can an Abstract class be instantiated?

A

No

Assume you have property that contains a large array of objects that, to be initialized, requires a database connection. If the user never asks to display the Orders or use the data in a computation, then there is no reason to use system memory or computing cycles to create it.

144
Q

What is a wrapper class that provides lazy initialization for any class library or user-defined type?

A

Lazy

145
Q

What is Caching?

A

If you have an expensive object, you save it to process memory and reuse it, instead of running the code to produce it over and over

How we change the behavior of the base class when we create a sub class

156
Q

What is a Class Hierarchy?

A

The design, or topology, of how classes are inherited from other classes

157
Q

What are the three pillars of OOP?

A

Polymorphism, Encapsulation and Inheritance

158
Q

What Keyword can we use to re-use the name of a method in the base class in the sub class for a different purpose?

A

new

Bonus: This is called Hiding

159
Q

What is Client Code?

A

Some methods and properties are meant to be called or accessed from code outside a class or struct

160
Q

Classes may be declared as _______, which means that one or more of their methods have no implementation

A

abstract

161
Q

True or False, to inherit from an interface means that the type implements all the methods defined in the interface

A

True

162
Q

What does the Keyword Static do?

A

One copy of the class is loaded into memory when the program loads, and its members are accessed through the class name

163
Q

Can you instantiate and initialize class or struct objects, and collections of objects, without explicitly calling their constructor?

A

Yes

164
Q

What are Anonymous Types?

A

Anonymous types provide a convenient way to encapsulate a set of read-only properties into a single object without having to explicitly define a type first. The type name is generated by the compiler and is not available at the source code level.

You create anonymous types by using the new operator together with an object initializer.

“var” is almost always used

165
Q

What is an Extension Method?

A

You can “extend” a class without creating a derived class by creating a separate type whose methods can be called as if they belonged to the original type

166
Q

What are Generics?

A

Generics make it possible to design classes and methods that defer the specification of one or more types until the class or method is declared and instantiated by client code.

For example, by using a generic type parameter T, you can write a single class that other client code can use without incurring the cost or risk of runtime casts or boxing operations

167
Q

What does passing a parameter by reference mean?

A

Passing a parameter by reference means the referenced variable will be used each time a function is run rather than making a copy of the variable, such as with a value type

168
Q

What are some differences between Arrays and Collections?

A

Unlike Arrays, Collections can Control Access to the objects they contain, Search and Sort, and more

169
Q

What does the Sealed Keyword do?

A

The Sealed Keyword enables you to Prevent the Inheritance of a Class Or certain class Members that were previously Marked Virtual

170
Q

Where is a Class stored in memory?

A

On the Heap

171
Q

Where are Structs stored?

A

On the Stack

172
Q

Typically, which is smaller, the Stack or the Heap?

A

The Stack

173
Q

Write a foreach loop that uses regex to look for the word “you” in a string named input

A

foreach(Match m in Regex.Matches(input, “you”)) {}

174
Q

What is IL?

A

Intermediate Language code. It is a partially compiled code

175
Q

What is JIT?

A

Just In Time compilation. In C#, JIT compiles IL into machine language

176
Q

Is it possible to view IL code?

A

Yes, by using a Disassembler, such as DASM

177
Q

Why do we need to compile into IL first? Why not directly to machine code?

A

The developer environment and the runtime environment can be very different. You may develop on Windows 10, but the code may be run on Mac, for example. Intermediate Language can be compiled into almost any platform

178
Q

What language must you code a .NET project in?

A

Trick question. You can code a .NET project in several languages.

179
Q

What is the importance of CLR?

A

Common Language Runtime invokes IL to compile into Native code. Also, Garbage collection is done in the CLR

180
Q

What is unmanaged code?

A

Code that is imported, and used as is, that is not under the control of the CLR. Unmanaged code has its own environment and runtimes.

Importing .dll’s that were written in C++ is one example

181
Q

Does garbage collection run on unmanaged resources?

A

No

182
Q

What is CTS?

A

Common Types System. It ensures that data types created in different languages get compiled to a common data type.

183
Q

What is CLS?

A

Common Language Specification. A set of guidelines that helps ensure any program written in a .NET language can be consumed by .NET CLR.

Rules for different data types, use of pointers, functional programming, etc

184
Q

When an object is instantiated, is it’s pointer stored on the Heap or the Stack?

A

The Stack

185
Q

Where is the data, or values, of an object stored? Heap or Stack?

A

Heap

186
Q

How are Value Types stored as far as the Stack and the Heap are concerned?

A

With Value Types, the value and the pointer are both stored on the Stack.

int, bool, etc

187
Q

How are Reference Types stored as far as the Stack and the Heap are concerned?

A

With Reference Types, the the pointer is stored on the Stack, however the value(s) are stored on the Heap.

string, objects, etc

188
Q

189
Q

What is Unboxing?

A

Moving a Reference Type to a Value Type

190
Q

What is the problem with Boxing and Unboxing?

A

Performance. It’s expensive to move data around, especially from Stack to Heap.

191
Q

What is an Array?

A

An Array is a data structure of a series of data of the same type. It is a specific contiguous location in memory and it has a fixed length. (technically yes, an array can be resized, but this is expensive)

192
Q

What is an ArrayList?

A

Flexible length, can mix and match different types

193
Q

What two data types do you get the best of with Generics?

A

Arrays and Lists

194
Q

What is Threading in a simple sense?

A

When you want to run processes in parallel, or more than one process at a time

195
Q

How would you create a variable named v with an anonymous type of Amount = 108 and Message = “Hello”

A

var v = new { Amount = 108, Message = “Hello” };

196
Q
