8. How to program in C# - METHODS - Beginner Tutorial

[@MrAtheistAnon]

Hello, brackeys, I'm an IT student studying programming and networking in Northern Ireland. My class is currently working on object oriented programming using unity as our means to create games and utilities. The UPA toolkit that you created is now being used by my entire class for the purpose of creating pixel art and using those original creations in our applications. I just wanted to say thank you for this software and that it is being widely used.

[@cfm1337]

Hey! I know you wrote this 5 years ago lol but im from Belfast and was wondering how you are doing now in regards to your IT career. Ive decided to start studying c# and programming as i want to go to BMC to study game development and then hopefully i can progress a career in this field. It would be nice to hear back from you man!

@@feesh9977 Haha, fantastic actually. Settled nicely into a C# job after just 2 months of learning. How's your IT Career, It has been 7 hours.... I'm expecting you to be a totally different man!

[@feesh9977]

@@ApolloStudios_ oh wow 😂 I'm still just learning but Its great that you've settled in!

[@helmofthedominator]

I was feeling hopeless to learn codes/programming but when I first saw your tutorials i'm motivated and inspired. Thank you a lot for your effort of posting tutorials online. God bless you :)

Why with the religion? Just why?

[@atiz0123456789]

Why not?

[@magnusm4]

If you had gone to my high school then you would have given up like most of my class mates.Starting with html and css then jquery and suddenly java and learning variables one day and the next arrays and everything so suddenly plus two identical assignments in html, css and jquery while also doing java. And then the next year suddenly switching teachers and now going from java to only C#. Didn't help most of the java classes were impossible to keep up with as he threw everything at once

[@PreparetomeetthyGod]

@Viceroy You wrote:"Why with the religion? Just why? Well, God is the ultimate Genius and the Source of all knowledge including Computer Science and Programming. Do you know that there are 8 bits in a byte and the number 8 in the Bible is the number of the Messiah, Jesus? It is the number symbolising God dwelling among His people. So Computer programming originates from Him. There is no knowledge outside of Jesus.

The 8th Church Your comment makes no sense lol

[@sonwabomakinana7962]

here in South Africa i have never seen even a professor imparting masses of complex information flawlessly, with simple clarity that reveals computer sciences mysterious orders the way you do,thank you man you are the best i wasted so much time on videos that,instead of explaining the basics of methods,tried to explain something else,classes,you were heavenly sent

[@gustavjansson3826]

I miss the challenges in the end. But the tutorials are still awesome, I'm really enjoing this course :)

[@JustinUrban1]

I have been working in the web field for some time now and am furthering my education to become a developer. I have learned most of my coding knowledge on my own by watching videos and searching forums. I have to give you props for these videos. They are helping me prepare for my C# class coming up, and luckily it seems I have far more understanding of C# than I thought. Love the videos and look forward to any more tutorials you may have online.

[@Brackeys]

Glad to hear they can help! :)

[@BlazertronGames]

I'd recommend going for visual studio, if you're on windows. But if you are on anything else, yeah, go with monodevelop

[@vincentvalentine9417]

On other youtube channels people would comment "OMG best description ever!!" and I'd be like WTF?! But I can finally say someone explained it properly

[@ElectroMonkeyz]

These tutorials are great! I never thought programming was so intuitive. I've followed them with no problem so far, and it just occurred to me that you can already make a little text-based RPG with everything I've learned so far!

[@OryginTech]

If you could make this at least a weekly series, that would be amazing.

[@killagorilla403]

Your videos are definitely making my Fall Semester C# II refresh C# I week go a ton smoother!!! Thanks man!

[@gotmoreO]

Thank you so much for this! I am taking an online class at school and my professor is so boring! Her voice is very monotone and it makes it difficult to comprehend information or even develop interest! Thanks again! I will subscribe.

[@jordanrich4409]

I just want to say thanks. You saved just my rear on an assignment. After several hours sifting through guides and other videos I found this one which made everything make sense

[@JesusMartinez-zu3xl]

I'm a cosc student and learned c++ my first sem in the program. Now i'm learning c# and im having a blast!

[@punkinshorts]

This has been the best example of methods I have found. Great work

[@Yazan_Majdalawi]

Although I admire his work as it inspired me 5 years ago and it brings back a lot of beautiful memories, it is now after I rewatched some of this series that I realized how un-organized his explanations in this series were xD I'm no doubt still super grateful though.. and really happy for him that he kept getting better till he got to where he did.. really miss him :(

[@carl10x]

Thanks for this, many tutorials online were not showing that the newly created functions were supposed to be outside of the main function. this cleared it up immediately c:

[@JasperLaw]

I started coding with python, and when I started this course I failed to see why everyone thought that python was such a great starting language. But I'm really starting to see just how similar everything is! I love it! If anyone here is struggling with C#, or just wants a language that's extremely easy to use and understand, try python! You'll be surprised :) As always, thank you Brackeys! *AWESOME* video :D

[@rakctus8311]

I'm learning C# in my Highschool class and this was REALLY helpful, thanks!

[@yesserlabidi7831]

thanks brother !!! you really gave the best explanation ever ! you are so brilliant you saved my life man !! big thanks may god bless you !

[@MasterDude1568]

BRACKEYS FOR PRESIDENT!!!! This tutorial series is the best

[@dimp5825]

Man please do more videos you helped me a lot with C# I started learning two weeks ago and I didn't know how to progran your tutorials helped me a lot thank you verry much ;) !!!

[@juelz1911]

This is better explained then in multiple sources that I paid good money for. Cheers

[@Snzoutski]

Brackeys First lessons included challenges as a way for us to practice, I thought it was a great asset compared to other tutorials videos which are just "type after me". However, there is no challenges anymore since the last couple of videos, if you can bring them back, that'd be awesome ! Thanks for reading : :) Keep up the good work !

[@Tp26053]

really great tutorial. I struggled to understand methods using arguments but after watching this video I have a better understanding.

[@No_skibidi_fun]

This 8 Years Old Videos Are Helping A lot..

[@kingwill9464]

Thanks Brackeys for explaining returning so well. When I learnt lua program, at first I found returning quite difficult to understand, but you have explained it for me. UR AWSOME! Thx

[@gitimollikonwar9975]

Thanks brackeys because of you if have fall in love with learning coding . Your videos are so much fun to watch

[@GigglePoot23]

This is very helpful! thank you so much! i am taking C# and my professor doesn't do a great job explaining things. much appreciated!!! :)

[@HassaanRaza]

brackeys , you are an awesome teacher . i hope you make more videos for us (beginners). i know c language pretty well , but watching other tutorial made me think that c sharp is very hard but not now :D

[@dwaynemoreland668]

The ability to overload methods is great!

[@chris8534]

This was a really good explanation of methods for beginners. It might be novice but I'm in the habit of prefixing all my variables with my (eg myInt) and it stops so much confusion from accidently typing method names etc...whenever I can't remember what to do I just type 'my' and all my variables come up in intellisense and it usually jogs my memory enough to keep going.

[@HaloWolf102]

This is such an exceptional video for teaching about methods.

[@sleeposleeps]

Wow, surprisingly this video helped me a lot :D. I've watch a bit of a 4 hour game making challenge and I couldn't understand why most things were typed in the way they were. An example would be a type of movement script where you have multiple variables being processed through a method depending on the press of the key. Now I understand more of it because of this video Yay :3.

Hi Brackeys I actually like your video tutorial but I'm getting a hard time to find some of your video tutorial about C# specially on looping. Yes there's a lot of tutorial but i really like your tutorial coz your explanation is very well. Btw, thank for tutorial :) I salute you.

[@sumrandumGI]

Please come back to this series Brackeys!

[@matthewyarbough223]

Thanks this really help a lot because I'm a beginner and I have a interest in programming but in my whole semester I was struggling in my C# class. I couldn't understand the work because I'm new in programming so I didn't have the chance to do the Basic programming like everyone us in that is coming to college. So I had to find help until one of my class say it might be better for you to look on youtube for some example and thank god I find this now I'm starting to understand the work I need to start practice them so I could get even more better. Thanks again because I really wanted to get better in this class so I could be able to Create my own video games.

[@asgeiralbretsen]

How weird. I was just thinking and reading about programming. And I thought to myself: In this year, I will make a small game. And this pops up. Great!

[@adakill7156]

Thanks a lot, this vid helped me so much. I was just learning methods and I was totally lost. Thanks :)

[@evilmiera]

Woo, Brackeys is back!

[@Scottx125Productions]

Thing that really annoyed me when learning programming at Uni is the lack of a concrete example of the difference between a method and a function. This video sums it up perfectly. Class = An object, which can manifest as an actual object or an object that can contain methods and functions. Methods as it sounds like are methods of doing something such as making a character move forward or whatever. Functions are pieces of code that do everything, they are responsible for the functionality of your code from initiating methods to actually being the sections of code within a method controlling how far a character moves. Or simply, Classes can consist of methods, methods consist of functions.

[@BaileysMariner]

Thanks for these videos, they are absolutely brilliant.

[@NuclearHonzo]

Having a bit of trouble understanding this since i never knew anything at all about coding and just started learning through his vids, guess i gotta just keep re-watching till i get it lol

[@basselabdelrazek8520]

in nine grade when I started learning c# for the first time it was very hard I literally gave up and told my teacher I don't want to learn it anymore now when I saw this tutorial I was really surprised how easy it is

wtf, why was this hard in school, lmao thanks :)

[@TzaRider]

first time ive clearly understood what the return means

[@TheModsRE4]

Same here xD

[@skyleradd1485]

Yeah in python I would just guess where to put a return

[@Constantinesis]

This video finally made me understand what is the difference between a void and a return method! One question though. Does the program know to implicitly associate num1 with 10 and num2 with 8 because of their position inside the brackets?

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Yep, it knows based on the order and will assign the values to num1 and num2 in order when the function is called.

how do you zoom?BEST tutorial series!!!!! #BRACKEYS

[@atmunn1]

+TheSparkPlug If you haven't figured it out by now, (as i see the comment is 3 weeks old) hold down the control key on your keyboard and scroll with the mouse wheel. If you're on a Mac, try the same thing, but with the command key instead of control. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to find the answer elsewhere, as I'm not very familiar with Macs.

[@oyasuminasaix]

+TheSparkPlug Also if you are on a laptop or don´t have a mouse wheel, just press Control and the + key. Similarly to zoom out, Cntrl and minus key. You can use this in internet browsers too

[@na-kt2bs]

Okay, this comment is pointless but i want to see if its right. A very long time ago i was watching tutorials on Java scripting for games. when we are talking about sub routines, I remember him saying that we say that it is public in the code so that any variables that are made in it can also be used outside of it as well. i dont know what static or void means
