C# struct layout and operator overloading

C# struct layout

1. Struct layout in C# - .NET Concept of the Week - Episode 13

In this episode I talk about struct layout in C#. You will learn how C# structs are represented in memory and you will also learn how you can influence this with the StructLayoutAttribute.

2. C# Struct: Everything You Need to Know in Lesson 12

This lesson will teach you about C# struct. Our objectives are as follows: Understand the Purpose of structs. Implement a struct. Use a struct.

Operator Overloading

3. Does the order of operands matter for an overloaded == operator in C#

I am using a 3rd party tool (Unity3d), where one of the fundamental base classes overloads the == operator (UnityEngine.Object). The overloaded operator's signature is: public static bool operator == (UnityEngine.Object x, UnityEngine.Object y)

4. Operator overloading (C# reference)

A user-defined type can overload a predefined C# operator. That is, a type can provide the custom implementation of an operation in case one or both of the operands are of that type. The Overloadable operators section shows which C# operators can be overloaded

5. About Operator Overloading

The principal arithmetic and comparison operators can be adapted for use by your own classes and structs. This is known as operator overloading. This article is a thorough discussion of the syntax as well as which operators can be overloaded and those that can't.

6. C# explicit and implicit Keywords

Use the explicit and implicit keywords to implement conversions with operators.

7. Implicit And Explicit Conversions In C#

In my last article about type casting, I explained narrow and widening conversions along with as and is operators. In this article, we shall take casting to a whole new level. At the end, you will learn how readability of code can be improved with implicit and explicit operators.

With the help of implicit operator, readability of code is improved and now class Money is responsible for all the conversion needed.

So as to summarize, the implicit keyword should be used to enable implicit conversions between a user-defined type and another type, if the conversion is guaranteed not to cause a loss of data.

8. Working With Data Types

First thing a programmer looks for is what kind of data types a programming languages has and how to use them. In this part, I will cover C# data types and how to use them in a program.

9. Static implicit operator

What does static implicit operator mean?

10. Why must C# operator overloads be static?

Why does C# require operator overloads to be static methods rather than member functions (like C++)? (Perhaps more specifically: what was the design motivation for this decision?)

11. Writing Implicit and Explicit C# Conversion Operators

Implicit conversion operators are those that don’t require an explicit cast.
Explicit conversion operators are those that do require an explicit cast.

We’ve spent a lot of time talking about how to represent a program as a sequence of bytecode instructions, but it feels like learning biology using only stuffed, dead animals. We know what instructions are in theory, but we’ve never seen them in action, so it’s hard to really understand what they do. It would be hard to write a compiler that outputs bytecode when we don’t have a good understanding of how that bytecode behaves.

Basic Types

1. Byte Struct

Represents an 8-bit unsigned integer.

public readonly struct Byte : IComparable, IComparable <byte >, IConvertible, IEquatable <byte >, ISpanFormattable

Inheritance: Object -> ValueType ->Byte

2. Integral numeric types (C# reference)

The integral numeric types represent integer numbers. All integral numeric types are value types. They're also simple types and can be initialized with literals. All integral numeric types support arithmetic, bitwise logical, comparison, and equality operators.

3. Floating-point numeric types (C# reference)

The floating-point numeric types represent real numbers. All floating-point numeric types are value types. They are also simple types and can be initialized with literals. All floating-point numeric types support arithmetic, comparison, and equality operators.

4. Structure types (C# reference)

A structure type (or struct type) is a value type that can encapsulate data and related functionality. You use the struct keyword to define a structure type:

5. char (C# reference)

The char type keyword is an alias for the .NET System.Char structure type that represents a Unicode UTF-16 character.

6. Enumeration types (C# reference)

An enumeration type (or enum type) is a value type defined by a set of named constants of the underlying integral numeric type. To define an enumeration type, use the enum keyword and specify the names of enum members:

8. Free BASIC Compilers and Interpreters

The term BASIC, an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, actually describes a whole plethora of computer languages, not all of which are actually compatible with each other. On many home computers, the earliest implementations of the BASIC language was as a very simple line oriented interpreter. The simplicity of the original language made it easy for beginners to learn programming, giving rise to a whole generation of programmers who cut their teeth on this language (although it must be said that the language's simplicity also led to a host of bad programming practices as programmers tried to work around the language's limitations). Today, however, the language has grown very large and is split into a number of different dialects (many of which bear little resemblance to the original BASIC language) and includes support for many modern programming paradigms like structured programming (using functions or procedures) and object-oriented programming, etc.

9. Chipmunk Basic

Chipmunk Basic is an interpreter for the BASIC Programming Language. It runs on multiple OS platforms, and is reasonably fast for a pure interpreter. Chipmunk Basic presents a traditional (vintage) terminal-command-line programming environment, and supports a simple, old-fashioned, and easy-to-learn dialect of the Basic Programming Language. (Line numbers are required when using the built-in command-line console, but are not required in Basic programs written using an external text editor.) The language also supports a few advanced extensions. Free for educational and personal use.
