So, I made a quick class called Book.
In the constructor you can see that the name and author are defined.
- Code: Select all
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace Book
{
public class Book
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string author { get; set; }
public int amountOfWords { get; set; }
public Book(string name, string author)
{
this.name = name;
this.author = author;
}
}
}
Now, we add a method, because amountOfWords is not defined!
We do something random, just to show you arguments:
- Code: Select all
public int getAmountOfWords(string nameOfBook)
{
Random random = new Random(nameOfBook.Length);
}
We define a new random. Inside the constructor is a argument, called seed. It's an int, it will make the random more random.
random.Next(int min, int max) is a method from the Random class. min is the minimal outcome, max is the maximum outcome.
Now we must return a value, it is a int. It will return the minimal number of 1000 words, and the maximum is 10000. Somewhere between that.
- Code: Select all
public int getAmountOfWords(string nameOfBook)
{
Random random = new Random(nameOfBook.Length);
return random.Next(1000, 10000);
}
Next up we are going to make a method called sayItNice. Just to tell somebody the name of the book, the author and the amount of words the book has.
- Code: Select all
public string sayItNice(string name, string author, int amountOfWords)
{
}
Now we make the return value:
- Code: Select all
public string sayItNice(string name, string author, int amountOfWords)
{
return "The book is called " + name + ", and the author of this awsome book is " + author + ", it has about " + amountOfWords.ToString() + " words!";
}
The int needs a ToString() method because it is not a string, but a int. You can't just set a int in a string.
So what you could do(If you have a console application) is print it in the class called Program.
- Code: Select all
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace Book
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// define a new book!
Book book = new Book("Mr. Bean is lost", "Peter");
// Set the value amountOfWords of the book using the method we created!
book.amountOfWords = book.getAmountOfWords(book.name);
// Print it using the method we created!
Console.WriteLine(book.sayItNice(book.name, book.author, book.amountOfWords));
// And a simple command that makes the program not instant-quit
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
Output:
- Output of the program we wrote.

Now, why don't we just make it simpler?!
We change the method book.sayItNice to a void! That will save us some code!
- Code: Select all
public void sayItNice(string name, string author, int amountOfWords)
{
Console.WriteLine("The book is called " + name + ", and the author of this awsome book is " + author + ", it has about " + amountOfWords.ToString() + " words!");
Console.ReadKey();
}
The Program class will be the code now:
- Code: Select all
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace Book
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// define a new book!
Book book = new Book("Mr. Bean is lost", "Peter");
// Set the value amountOfWords of the book using the method we created!
book.amountOfWords = book.getAmountOfWords(book.name);
//print it with our new void!
book.sayItNice(book.name, book.author, book.amountOfWords);
}
}
}
The output will be the same, even the amount of words because it is based on a seed.
I hope you learned something from it. Good luck with it.
