This article tells you how to create your own class with some function in it and how to call these functions from the main function.

Creating your class

This is how my class mcCalculator looks. Its has five functions besides constructor and destructor, called Add, Subtract, Devide (that was a spelling mistake), Multiply, and DisplayOutVal. As you can see from their names, these functions add, subtract, multiply, and divide and store the results in a private variable iOutVal which is called by DisplayOutVal to display the results.
  1. publicclass mcCalculator {
  2. privateint iOutVal;
  3. //Default constructor
  4. public mcCalculator() {
  5. iOutVal = 0;
  6. }
  7. public mcCalculator(int iVal1) {
  8. iOutVal = iVal1;
  9. }
  10. //destructor
  11. ~mcCalculator() {
  12. iOutVal = 0;
  13. }
  14. //methods
  15. publicvoid displayiOutVal() {
  16. Console.WriteLine("iOutVal = {0}", iOutVal);
  17. }
  18. // this function adds two values and saves in iOutVal
  19. publicvoid add(int iVal1, int iVal2) {
  20. iOutVal = iVal1 + iVal2;
  21. }
  22. // this function subtracts one from other and saves in iOutVal
  23. publicvoid subtract(int iVal1, int iVal2) {
  24. iOutVal = iVal1 - iVal2;
  25. }
  26. // this function multiplyies two values and saves in iOutVal
  27. publicvoid Multiply(int iVal1, int iVal2) {
  28. iOutVal = iVal1 * iVal2;
  29. }
  30. // this function devides one value from other and saves in iOutVal
  31. publicvoid Devide(int iVal1, int iVal2) {
  32. iOutVal = iVal1 / iVal2;
  33. }
  34. }
Calling your class from Main
Now call mcCalculator from main. First create instance of mcCalculator and then call its member functions.
  1. // Main Program
  2. class mcStart {
  3. publicstaticvoid Main() {
  4. mcCalculator mcCal = new mcCalculator(50);
  5. mcCal.add(12, 23);
  6. mcCal.displayiOutVal();
  7. mcCal.subtract(24, 4);
  8. mcCal.displayiOutVal();
  9. mcCal.Multiply(12, 3);
  10. mcCal.displayiOutVal();
  11. mcCal.Devide(8, 2);
  12. mcCal.displayiOutVal();
  13. }
  14. }
Don't forget to call using System as the first line of your file.
