C#: Method that returns a structure

Last update on December 20 2024 12:44:36 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a program in C# Sharp to implement a method that returns a structure. This includes calling the method and using its value.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;

// Struct defining a sample structure
public struct sampStru
{
    private double val; // Private field to store a double value

    // Property 'Value' to get and set the private 'val' field
    public double Value
    {
        get { return val; }
        set { val = value; }
    }

    // Method to read a double value from the console
    public double Read()
    {
        return double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
    }
}

// Struct defining a square using sampStru structure
public struct Square
{
    sampStru ln; // Instance of sampStru for length
    sampStru ht; // Instance of sampStru for height

    // Property 'Length' to get and set the length of the square
    public sampStru Length
    {
        get { return ln; }
        set { ln = value; }
    }

    // Property 'Breadth' to get and set the breadth of the square
    public sampStru Breadth
    {
        get { return ht; }
        set { ht = value; }
    }

    // Method to create a new square by taking user input for dimensions
    public void newSquare()
    {
        sampStru rct = new sampStru();

        Console.WriteLine("\nInput the dimensions of the Square (equal length and breadth): ");
        ln = sqrLength();
        Console.Write("breadth : ");
        ht.Value = rct.Read();
    }

    // Method to input the length of the square
    public sampStru sqrLength()
    {
        sampStru rct = new sampStru();

        Console.Write("length : ");
        rct.Value = rct.Read();
        return rct;
    }
}

// Main class
public class strucExer10
{
    // Main method
    static void Main()
    {
        Console.Write("\n\nMethod that returns a structure :\n");
        Console.Write("--------------------------------------\n");

        // Create an instance of Square
        var Sqre = new Square();

        // Invoke the method to create a new square by taking user input
        Sqre.newSquare();

        Console.WriteLine(); // Blank line for readability
        Console.WriteLine("Perimeter and Area of the square:");
        Console.WriteLine("Length:    {0}", Sqre.Length.Value); // Display length
        Console.WriteLine("Breadth:   {0}", Sqre.Breadth.Value); // Display breadth
        Console.WriteLine("Perimeter: {0}", (Sqre.Length.Value + Sqre.Breadth.Value) * 2); // Calculate and display perimeter
        Console.WriteLine("Area:      {0}\n", Sqre.Length.Value * Sqre.Breadth.Value); // Calculate and display area
    }
}

Sample Output:

Method that returns a structure  :                                                                            
--------------------------------------                                                                        
Input the dimensions of the Square( equal length and breadth ) :                                              
length : 10                                                                                                  
breadth : 20                                                                                                  
     
Perimeter and Area of the square :                                                                            
Length:    10                                                                                                 
Breadth:    20                                                                                                
Perimeter: 60                                                                                                 
Area:      200
