Work with variable data in C# console applications (Get started with C#, Part 4)

In this module, you will:

• Learn the fundamental differences between value types and reference types.
• Describe the properties of many new numeric data types, including new integral types and floating point types.
• Write code that returns the maximum and minimum values that numeric data types can store.
• Use the new keyword to create new instances of a reference type.
• Determine which data type you should choose for a given application.

In this module, you will:

• Use the casting operator to cast a value into a different data type.
• Use conversion methods to convert a value into a different data type.
• Guard against the loss of data when performing a cast or conversion operation.
• Use the TryParse() method to safely convert a string into a numeric data type.

In this module, you will:

• Sort and reverse the order of array elements.
• Clear and resize the elements of an array.
• Split a string into an array of strings or characters (chars).
• Join array elements into a string.

In this module, you will:

• Use character escape sequences to add tabs, new lines, and Unicode characters to our strings
• Create verbatim string literals, and escape common characters like backslash and double-quotes
• Merge templates with variables using composite formatting and string interpolation
• Include various format specifiers for percentages, currency, and numbers

In this module, you will:

• Identify the position of a character or string inside of another string
• Extract portions of strings
• Remove portions of strings
• Replace values in strings with different values
