How C# are you? [modified]

[Rage]

32. Synchronization is: a) the delaying of a thread until there is sufficient memory and work to keep it up - correct answer :confused: :omg:

I've choosen a) because ToLower() returns a copy of the string X| a) (your answer) String = string.ToLower(string); b) ToLower(string); c) string.ToLower(); - correct answer d) string.ToLower(string);

You don't even get a warning.

The correct answer is "none of the above". Normally, I'd use newstring = oldstring.ToLower(); The optional parameter is a CultureInfo string, if you want formatting for a particular culture setting. However, using "String" or "string" as variable names is going to throw up compile errors. PS - that quiz is an abomination which should be removed before anybody gets the wrong impression of C# :)

All methods in an abstract base class do not have to be declared abstract. You can't instantiate an abstract base class, but you can provide default functionality. What you must do, is provide an implementation of abstract functionality in any derived classes. You, also, can't declare a method as abstract if it's not in an abstract class. Honestly, this test is rubbish.

I know, but I thought the questioner wanted to see if we know that ToLower() returns a copy, but obviously that was not his intention X|

"70% = C" I wish that GCSEs were graded on that scale. Seems to me you only need to turn up to get a C.

Ok, so Harold was wrong with his answer. In C++/CLI

ref class A
{
virtual foo() = 0;
};

gives a warning because of the missing abstract behind the class. But in C++ you can also provide a default implementation of a method AND declare it as abstract (pure virtual).

class A
{
virtual foo() = 0
{
doSomething();
}
}

If C# does not force me to declare every method as abstract, the test is wrong here again.

I'm not sure what his intention was. To confuse and babmoozle perhaps? :)

A multiple choice question should not allow more than one correct answer unless the answers include the choices below: A) answer 1 B) answer 2 C) answer 3 D) All of the above E) None of the above F) The test is crap

Correct. The following class is perfectly legal:

public abstract class MyClass
{
private int _myValue;
public void SetMyValue(int myValue)
{
_myValue = myValue;
}

protected int MyValue
{
get { return _myValue; }
}

public abstract int GetMyValueAfterSomeOperation();
}

This would then be used as:

public class MyMultClass
{
private int _myMult;
public MyMultClass(int myMult)
{
_myMult = myMult;
}

public override int GetMyValueAfterSomeOperation()
{
return MyValue * _myMult;
}
}

They didn't. It was scrawled on a bar napkin and handed to a near illiterate secretary.

I worked very hard for my GCSEs. I would appreciate it if you didn't deride the work I put in by claiming that I would have got a C if I had just turned up, instead of spending two years learning a syllabus
