Any web based simple c# exercises?

Don't know of any, but if you name a subject, I'm sure we'd be able to come up with some :)

Sorry I've been bad about getting the exercises to you. They can be time-consuming to write up, and my day is pretty full currently as it is.

Cheers!

As someone above posted, if you want an example of something specific we can easily write something to help you.

Just let us know what you want to work on and we can write something up.

ok; these are some of the kinds of exercises I've done in the past:

1. Write a simple program that takes 5 integers and determines the highest and the lowest. You should use a class/method/structure called NumberSort in the program

2. Write a program that accepts a 5 number integer and prints the numbers of that integer with a space between each number (hint: use the modulus operator)

3. Write a program which simulates a chess tour; i.e. take a knight on a chess board, start them at a random square and see how many moves the knight can make before it runs out of squares it hasn't already occupied. A more advanced challenge is to assign the squares towards the corners with a lower probability of being selected than the centre squares. Use (whatever C# topic that was being discussed in that section) in your answer.

4. Create a base object to represent a living being in a simple game and derive 3 subclasses from it; human, dog, and Silurian 3 legged wimple chucker. Make sure they can all walk, make a sound and die(ok we haven't done inheritance yet)

My apologies to Messrs. Dietel and Dietel since I'm pretty sure most of those examples came from one of their books. I found their writing style a bit difficult to follow but at the end of some chapters they would have up to 50 exercises which was really where you learned by trying out in a guided manner the things you had learned.

I suppose my ideal would be a few exercises which make you use what you have learned without getting too frustrated with the central problem (that chess tour took me a few days - very frustrating but such a good feeling when it worked!) If they had some kind of game theme to them as appropriate to a site called gamedev.net then so much the better. It's difficult as a learner to set yourself exercises given you don't know what you don't know.

edit - don't get me wrong; this workshop is great as it is, and I appreciate that some people here are already working flat out on it. Hence my original question that if anyone knew of a website that already had a repository of these 'practice what you've learned' tasks. The site could be C# or another language if the problem can be applicable to C#. Such an existing site would help practice without the generous people round here donating yet more time.

hello,
try to google for the book C# How To Program, this book is awsome and there are a HUGE list of excercises for each chapter.
I had some of the exercises in my machine, but I can't find them right now, so I will post it when I find them.

These aren't C# specific, but there are many, so at least some should be useful. I plan on digging in there myself this weekend.

This is exactly what I was talking about. Bookmarked and many thanks!

I'll start then...

Well, it doesn't fit your criteria exactly, but a program this simple doesn't need structs or methods really. Anyway, I knocked this up in a couple of minutes... Oh yeah, it can expand to take any number of ints, not just five.



Anyway, very simple. You would run the program and pass the ints through the command line arguments.

Alternatively you could put the args into an int[] array and then use the static method Array.Sort() to determin the order.

If you're still looking, you should try http://www.javabat.com. Not really C# exercises, but you don't need to know a lot of Java knowledge to complete the problems.

Now try to make it work for negative numbers also. Don't use any extra variables than you already have.

Edit: Ignore.
