What is an interface?

An abstract class containing exactly one method to be defined by other classes An interface is a class that only includes method signatures. The methods are not implemented in the interface. Another class must be created to supply the implementation. An interface is a collection of abstract methods. A class implements an interface, thereby inheriting the abstract methods of the interface.

In relation to nullable types, what does ?? mean, or what does ?? do?

False using statement acts as a sort of open/close function we might otherwise have had to call before/after the loop. but don't address the possibility of something going wrong with opening/using/closing these file streams if (File.Exists("input.txt"))

What is the only significant functional difference between ref and out?

REF is used to qualify arguments as being passed by reference, not by copy. The prerequisite here is that the argument must be initialized. Ex: public void myRefMethod(ref int alpha) { } OUT is functionally very similar, except there's no prerequisite that the argument be initialized. Ex: public void myOutMethod(out int alpha) { }

The conditional assignment if a nullable type is being used

What is the difference between value and reference type variables?

Value type variables have a strong connection to a single piece of memory stored somewhere. • This includes enumerations, primitive data types (int, bool, char), and programmer-defined structs. Reference types do not contain values themselves but instead an address to where values can be found(basically a pointer to memory where a contiguous block of memory is found, containing a collection of homogeneous data) • Objects from a class, delegates, strings, Array, and variables referring to dynamically allocated memory, are all reference types.

A memory-efficient Dictionary, which orders elements by their "key" A collection that is a combination of key/value entries and an ArrayList. The collection is sorted by key.

QUIZ When passing arguments by reference, which of the two methods will NOT require the argument to contain an initial value?

What's the difference between readonly/const?

readonly is a subtle qualifier, that functions very similarly to const. They both permit a variable to be given an initial value and then to never have that value altered by your program. const variables are statically stored in memory, as compared to readonly which acts more like a reference to where that value will be found. The difference comes whenever you want to update those values, and which assemblies need to be re-compiled in order to correctly update.
