Mastery of Methods, Arrays, and Strings in C#

• Understand the definition and usage of methods and method parameters in C#.
• Demonstrate method overloading and overriding techniques to enhance code flexibility.
• Apply anonymous methods to simplify code and reduce boilerplate.
• Create and manage different types of arrays, including jagged arrays and array lists.
• Utilize the Array class to perform operations like sorting and ranking of arrays.
• Identify the difference between strings and StringBuilder, and apply each in appropriate scenarios.
• Explore the Tuple class and its usage for efficient data grouping and retrieval.
• Implement value tuples and struct for memory optimization and data handling.
• Master indexers and properties in C# to access and manage data in custom objects.
• Manipulate stacks in C# to understand LIFO operations and implement stack-based algorithms.

• Define methods and parameters and apply them to create functional C# applications.
• Overload methods to create flexible and reusable code structures.
• Implement method overriding and anonymous methods to write more concise and flexible code.
• Create and work with arrays, including jagged arrays and array lists, to manage collections of data.
• Sort and rank arrays using built-in array operations and enhance program efficiency.
• Choose the appropriate string manipulation method (String vs. StringBuilder) based on performance requirements.
• Use tuples to group related data and return multiple values from methods.
• Optimize memory usage by applying value tuples and structs in performance-critical scenarios.
• Access and manage object data effectively using indexers and properties.
• Implement stack operations to solve problems using the LIFO approach in real-world applications.

The Academic Approach of the course focuses on the “work centric” education i.e. begin with work (and not from a book !), derive knowledge from work and apply that knowledge to make the work more wholesome, useful and delightful. The ultimate objective is to empower the Learner to engage in socially useful and productive work. It aims at leading the learner to his/her rewarding career as well as development of the society.

Learning methodology

• Learners are given an overview of the course and its connection to life and work.
• Learners are then exposed to the specific tool(s) used in the course through the various real-life applications of the tool(s).
• Learners are then acquainted with the careers and the hierarchy of roles they can perform at workplaces after attaining increasing levels of mastery over the tool(s).
• Learners are then acquainted with the architecture of the tool or Tool Map so as to appreciate various parts of the tool, their functions and their inter-relations.
• Learners are then exposed to simple application development methodology by using the tool at the beginner’s level
• Learners then perform the differential skills related to the use of the tool to improve the given ready-made outputs.
• Learners are then engaged in appreciation of real-life case studies developed by the experts.
• Learners are then encouraged to proceed from appreciation to imitation of the experts.
• After imitation experience, they are required to improve the expert’s outputs so that they proceed from mere imitation to emulation.
• Finally, they develop the integral skills involving optimal methods and best practices to produce useful outputs right from scratch, publish them in their ePortfolio and thereby proceed from emulation to self-expression.

Evaluation Pattern of KLiC Courses consists of 4 Sections as per below table:

MKCL’s KLiC Certificate will be provided to the learner who will satisfy the below criteria:

1. Learners who have successfully completed above mentioned 3 Sections i.e. Section 1, Section 2 and Section 3
2. Additionally, learner should have completed Section 4 (i.e. Section 4 will comprise of SUPWs i.e. Socially Useful and Productive Work in form of Assignments)
   • Learner has to complete and upload minimum 2 out of 5 Assignments
