class and object in c# code example

Example 1: class in c#

public class Car
{  
    // fields
    public bool isDriving = false;
    
    // constructor
    public Car( string make )
    {
        Make = make;
    }
	
    // properties
    private string _make = string.Empty;
    public string Make
    {
        get { return _make; }
        set { _make = value; } 
    }
    
    // methods
    public void drive()
    {
        if( isDriving )
        {
			// Car is already moving
        }
        else
		{
            // start driving the car
            isDriving = true;
    	}        
    }

    public void stop()
    {
		if( isDriving )
		{
			// stop the car 
			isDriving = false;
		}
        else
        {
			// car is already not moving
        }        
    }      
}

// An example of using this class in a console app

using System;
					
public class Program
{
	public static void Main()
	{		
        // construct a new class of type Car and set the Make
      	// property to "VW" using the constructor.
		Car newCar = new Car( "VW" );
		
      	// display the make of our new car
		Console.WriteLine( newCar.Make );
		
      	// call the drive method of the car class
		newCar.drive();		
		
      	// display the value of the isDriving property to
		Console.WriteLine( newCar.isDriving );
		
      	// call the stop method of the car class
		newCar.stop();
		
      	// display the value of the isDriving property
		Console.WriteLine( newCar.isDriving );
	}
}

// the class 
public class Car
{  
    // fields
    public bool isDriving = false;
    
    // constructor w
    public Car( string make )

        if( isDriving )
        {
        		// Car is already moving
        }
        else

            // start driving the car
            isDriving = true;
    	}        
    }

    public void stop()
    {
		if( isDriving )

			// stop the car 
			isDriving = false;
		}
        else
        {

        }        
    }      
}

Example 2: c# objects

using System;

class Book
  {
    public string title;
    public string author;
    public int pages;
  }


class MainClass {
  public static void Main (string[] args) {
    Book book1 = new Book();
    book1.title = "Harry Potter";
    book1.author = "JK Rowling";
    book1.pages = 400;
    Console.WriteLine(book1.title);
  }
}

Example 3: how to make a object in c#

public class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public Person(string name, int age)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
    }
    // Other properties, methods, events...
}

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Person person1 = new Person("Leopold", 6);
        Console.WriteLine("person1 Name = {0} Age = {1}", person1.Name, person1.Age);

        // Declare new person, assign person1 to it.
        Person person2 = person1;

        // Change the name of person2, and person1 also changes.
        person2.Name = "Molly";
        person2.Age = 16;

        Console.WriteLine("person2 Name = {0} Age = {1}", person2.Name, person2.Age);
        Console.WriteLine("person1 Name = {0} Age = {1}", person1.Name, person1.Age);

        // Keep the console open in debug mode.
        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}
/*
    Output:
    person1 Name = Leopold Age = 6
    person2 Name = Molly Age = 16
    person1 Name = Molly Age = 16
