Structure and Operator overloading in C#

Recently I have been playing with structure and It’s fun. In this blog post we are going to learn how we can use operator overloading with structure in C#.  You can find my blog post that I have already written about structure  at following location.

Structure in C#
Structure with constructor in C#
Structure with Interface in C#

So as usual I've created a console application to demonstrate operator overloading in C#. Here I have created a structure with equals operator overloading and following is a code for that.

Structure with Interface in C#

Recently I have been playing with Structure and it is fun. I have written couple of blog post about structure. Following are links for that.

Structure in C#
Structure with constructor in C#

In this blog post we are going to learn how we can use structure with interface. So like earlier example I’ve created a console application. Now it’s time to write interface which we can implement with structure. Following is a code for that.

using System;

namespace StructureWithMethodAndInterface
{
    interface IPrintable
    {
        void Print();
    }
}

Here you can see that I have simple interface IPrintable which has simple print method. Now let’s create a structure which implement this interface. Following is a code for that.

Structure with constructor in C#

Before some time , I have written basic introduction post about Structure in C#. In this blog post we are going to see how we can have constructor with Structure. As we all know structure is a value type so it stored on stack. So let’s create a structure like follow with constructor.

public struct Customer
{
    #region Fields

    public int CustomerId;
    public string FirstName;
    public string LastName;

    #endregion 

    #region Constructor

    public Customer(int customerId, string firstName, string lastName)
    {
        CustomerId = customerId;
        FirstName = firstName;
        LastName = lastName;
    }

    #endregion
}

Here you can see I have created Stucture with parameter. As we all know structure is a value type so when initialize the it at that time we need to give values to its elements so that’s why default constructor without parameter is not supported in C#.

Structure in c#

In this blog post we are going to learn about Structure Data structure in C#. In C# Structure is value type which stores on Stack. It is a composite value type that contain other types. You can also create object of structure like class. In C# structure can  contains fields, properties, constants, constructors, properties, Indexers, operators and even other structure types.

So enough theory. Let’s create a sample console application to learn about structure.
