In what ever application you decide to employ it.

This

Code: [Select]

public Bottle this[int index]
{
get
{
return this.fridge[index];
}
}is invoked by this

Code: [Select]

int x = GetSomeInt();
Bottle stolenBottle = max[x];

Where exactly?

You're asking where the call is, right?  It's the

Code: [Select]

max[x]


[MagmaMcFry]

This

Code: [Select]

public Bottle this[int index]
{
get
{
return this.fridge[index];
}
}is invoked by this

Code: [Select]

int x = GetSomeInt();
Bottle stolenBottle = max[x];

Code: [Select]

max[x]


What's with the max? Is that a keyword or a Drink?

[Darvi]

It's Max.

It's him.

[Max White]

What's with the max? Is that a keyword or a Drink?

It is an variable.

For example, for a more complete bit of code...

Code: [Select]

Person max = new Person();
int x = GetSomeInt();
Bottle stolenBottle = max[x];

[Stargrasper]

It's Max.

It's him.

You don't post in here enough, Darvi.

So the interdimensional fridge that you conjure drinks out of thin air from is a part of your Person definition...where are you carrying an interdimensional fridge?  Your pocket?

What other neat tricks can C# do?

[MagmaMcFry]

So the index method is a member of Person.

It's insides occupy the same dimensional space as your standard police box...

Fucking everything man, including partial classes.

If you had this is one file

Code: [Select]

    partial class Person
    {
        int age;
    }
and then this in a separate file

Code: [Select]

    partial class Person
    {
        public int Age
        {
            get
            {
                return age;
            }
        }
    }
It would compile just fine.

While it's really cool that such a thing works, it seems to me like it would be a terrible idea to actually do that...

[Darvi]

No, it's big enough to contain one.

So, I have a programming exam next week and I feel like I should do something to keep my skills from getting rusty. Somebody please give me something to do.

[Max White]

Can't add to a partial class after it compiles, so it is safe.
It pretty much tells the compiler to look for all partial classes of the same name and concat them together. Shit makes dealing with large, bulky classes a lot easier, especially once inner classes get involved.

Wouldn't that make it dramatically harder to debug?  Especially if, like in your quick example, you have some of the same things defined twice?  I'm all for breaking up code for simplicity, but duplicate data scares me and I think I can achieve reasonable cleanliness of massive classes with inner classes and whatnot just fine with whitespace and comments.

[Max White]

How so?
Visual studio takes you to the cause of an uncaught exception, so you don't find yourself scanning through two classes in that case, otherwise I find it makes debugging a lot faster.
For example, I often have half a class for functionality, and half a class that handles persistence, so if I want to change how something is persisted I don't need to even look at the functionality. If a problem comes up while saving stuff, I know exactly where to look, otherwise I can safely ignore it, cutting down on the code I need to scan through.

I was more referring to glitches such that the code compiles and runs fine, but doesn't run as expected.  Then you have to know where in your code to look.  Usually that's easy, but sometimes it's not.  If you intelligently divide code as your described, that probably helps, though.  Also, how good is Visual Studio about zooming to the correct place, finding relevant errors, and giving meaningful error messages?

[Max White]

Yes to the first.
Yes to the second.
Depends to the third.

If you are using only the .net framework than it gives very meaningful error messages, but if you are using a third party library? Depends on how well they set it up. Normally when you get an exception it tells you the cause and gives you several tips to fix it, or even a link to the MSDN documentation that might be helpful, but if libtcod for example throws an error, good fucking luck.
