# switch

## 1.

You are implementing a library method that
accepts a ``character`` parameter and returns a ``string``.
If the lookup succeeds, the method must return the corresponding ``string`` value.
If the lookup fails, the methodmust return the value “invalid choice.”
You need to implement the lookup algorithm.
How should you complete the relevant code?

public string GetResponse(char letter) {
   string response;
   switch (letter) {
    case 'a':
        response = "animal";
        break;
    case 'm':
        response = "mineral";
        break;
    default:
        response = "invalid choice";
        break;
   }
   return response; 
}

## 2. https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/how-should-you-complete-the-relevant-code-314/

You are adding a function to a membership tracking application.
The function uses an integer named ``memberCode`` as an input parameter
and returns the ``memberType`` as a ``string``.
The function must meet the following requirements:
Return ``Non-Member`` if the ``memberCode`` is 0.
Return ``Member`` if the ``memberCode`` is 1.
Return ``Invalid`` if the ``memberCode`` is any value other than 0 or 1.
You need to implement the function to meet the requirements.
How should you complete the relevant code?

* ``default``
* ``switch``
* ``break``
* ``case``

private string GetMemberType(int memberCode) {
	string memberType;
	[] (memberCode) {
		[] 0:
			memberType = "Non-Member";
			[];
		[] 1:			
			memberType = "Non-Member";
			[];
		[]:			
			memberType = "Non-Member";
			[];
	}		
}

Answer:

private string GetMemberType(int memberCode) {
	string memberType;
	switch (memberCode) {
		case 0:
			memberType = "Non-Member";
			break;
		case 1:			
			memberType = "Member";
			break;
		default:			
			memberType = "Invalid";
			break;
	}		
}

## 3. https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/you-need-to-ensure-that-the-method-meets-the-following/

You have a method that will evaluate a parameter of type ``Int32`` named ``status``.
You need to ensure that the method meets the following requirements:
If ``Status`` is set to ``Active``, the method must return ``1``.
If ``Status`` is set to ``Inactive``, the method must return ``0``.
If ``Status`` is any other value, the method must return ``-1``.
What should you do?

Int32 returnValue = Int32.MinValue;
switch(status) {
	[]
		returnValue = 1;
		[]
	[]		
		returnValue = 0;
		[]
	[]		
		returnValue = -1;
		[]
}
return returnValue;

* ``break;``
* ``case "Active":``
* ``case "Inactive":``
* ``default:``
* ``goto default``
* ``return``

Answer:

Int32 returnValue = Int32.MinValue;
switch(status) {
	case "Active":
		returnValue = 1;
		break;
	case "Inactive":		
		returnValue = 0;
		break;
	default:			
		returnValue = -1;
		break;
}
return returnValue;

## 4. https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/hot-area-87/

You are building a data access layer in an application that contains the following code:

public static Object GetTypeDefault(DbType dbDataType) {
	switch (dbDataType) {
		case DbType.Boolean:
			return false;
		case DbType.DateTime:
			return DateTime.MinValue;
		case DbType.Decimal:
			return 0m;
		case DbType.Int32:
			return 0;
		case DbType.String:
			return String.Empty;
		default:			
			return null;
	}		
}

For each of the following statements,
select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

* If ``dbDataType`` is ``DateTime``, today's date is returned.
-> No
* If ``dbDataType`` is ``Int64``, ``Null`` is returned.
-> Yes
* If ``dbDataType`` is ``Double``, ``0`` is returned.
-> No

# Enum

## 1. https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/hot-area-83/

You are reviewing the following code:

[EmailAddressAttribute]
public enum Group {
   Users = 1,
   Supervisors = 2,
   Managers = 4,
   Administrators = 8 
}

public class User {
    public Group UserGroup { get; set; }
}

For each of the following statements,
select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

* A user can be a member of more than one of the groups.

--> No

* If the user belongs to only the Administrators group,
the following code will return a value of true

user.UserGroup == Group.Administrators

--> Yes

* If the user belongs to only the Supervisors group,
the following code will return a value of true

user.UserGroup It; Group.Administrators

--> No

# Collection

## 1.

You are developing an application that includes a class named ``Order``.
The application will store a collection of ``Order`` objects.
The collection must meet the following requirements:
Use strongly typed members.
Process Order objects in first-in-first-out order.
Store values for each Order object.
Use zero-based indices.
You need to use a collection type that meets the requirements.
Which collection type should you use?

Queue<T>: first-in-first-out order

---

## 2. https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/which-type-of-collection-should-you-use-6/

You need to store the values in a collection.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
The values must be stored in the order that they were added to the collection.
The values must be accessed in a first-in, first-out order.
Which type of collection should you use?

A. ``SortedList``

B. ``Queue``

C. ``ArrayList``

D. ``Hashtable``

Queue: first-in, first-out order

---

## 3. https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/which-collection-type-should-you-use-11/

You are developing an application that includes a class named ``Order``.
The application will store __a collection of ``Order`` objects__.
The collection must meet the following requirements:
__Internally store a key and a value for each collection item__.
Provide objects to __iterators__ in __ascending order__
based on the ``key.Ensure`` that item are accessible by zero-based index or by key.
You need to use a collection type that meets the requirements.
Which collection type should you use?

A. ``LinkedList``

B. ``Queue``

C. ``Array``

D. ``HashTable``

E. ``SortedList``

Answer: E

### [LinkedList<T> Class](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.linkedlist-1?view=netcore-3.1)

* Represents a doubly linked list.
* Namespace: ``System.Collections.generic``

public class LinkedList<T> : System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<T>, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>, System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyCollection<T>, System.Collections.ICollection, System.Runtime.Serialization.IDeserializationCallback, System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable

### [Queue<T> Class](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.queue-1?view=netcore-3.1)
* Represents a first-in, first-out collection of objects.
* Namespace: ``System.Collections.Generic``

public class Queue<T> : System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>, System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyCollection<T>, System.Collections.ICollection

### [Hashtable Class](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.hashtable?view=netcore-3.1)

* Represents a collection of key/value pairs that are organized based on the hash code of the key.
* Namespace: ``System.Collections``

public class Hashtable : ICloneable, System.Collections.IDictionary, System.Runtime.Serialization.IDeserializationCallback, System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable

### [SortedList<TKey,TValue> Class](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.sortedlist-2?view=netcore-3.1)

* Represents a collection of key/value pairs that are sorted by key based on the associated IComparer<T> implementation.
* Namespace: ``System.Collections.Generic``

public class SortedList<TKey,TValue> : System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue>>, System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<TKey,TValue>, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue>>, System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyCollection<System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue>>, System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyDictionary<TKey,TValue>, System.Collections.IDictionary

有 key / value 的 collection 只有 ``SortedList`` 和 ``Hashtable``
但 ``SortedList`` 會自動幫資料以 key 以 ascending order 排序，但 ``Hashtable`` 則沒有

Hashtable openWith = new Hashtable();
openWith.Add("EEE", "Eggplant");
openWith.Add("III", "illusion");
openWith.Add("AAA", "Alice");
openWith.Add("RRR", "Roll out");

ICollection keyColl = openWith.Keys;
foreach(string s in keyColl) {
	Console.WriteLine("Foreach Key = {0}", s);
}

output:
>Foreach Key = AAA
Foreach Key = RRR
Foreach Key = EEE
Foreach Key = III

SortedList<string, string> openWith = new SortedList<string, string>();
openWith.Add("EEE", "Eggplant");
openWith.Add("III", "illusion");
openWith.Add("AAA", "Alice");
openWith.Add("RRR", "Roll out");

IList<string> ilistKeys = openWith.Keys;
foreach(string s in ilistKeys) {
	Console.WriteLine("foreach Key = {0}", s);
}

output:
>foreach Key = AAA
foreach Key = EEE
foreach Key = III
foreach Key = RRR

# Accessors / member access modifier

## 1

An application includes a class named ``Person``.
The ``Person`` class includes a method named ``GetData``.
You need to ensure that the ``GetData()`` from the ``Person`` class.

Which access modifier should you use for the ``GetData()`` method?

``protected`` – The type or member can be accessed only by code in the same class or structure, or in a class that
is derived from that class.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173121.aspx

The ``protected`` keyword is a member access modifier. A protected member is accessible within its class and by
derived class instances.

---

## properties

### 1.

You are creating a class named ``Employee``.
The class exposes a ``string`` property named ``EmployeeType``.
The following code segment defines the ``Employee`` class.

public class Employee {
    internal string EmployeeType { get; set; }
}

The ``EmployeeType`` property value must be accessed and modified
only by code within the ``Employee`` class or
within a class derived from the Employee class.
You need to ensure that the implementation of the ``EmployeeType`` property meets the requirements.

public class Employee {
    protected string EmployeeType { get; private set; }
}

### [``protected``](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-ca/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/protected)
A ``protected`` member is accessible within its class and by derived class instances.

throws .NET Framework exceptions and custom exceptions.
The application contains only the following logging methods:

static void Log(Exception ex) { ... }
static void Log(AdvenureWorksException ex) { ... }
static void Log(AdvenureWorksValidationException ex) { ... }

The application must meet the following requirements:
When ``AdventureWorksValidationException`` exceptions are caught,
log the information by using the static void Log (AdventureWorksValidationException ex) method.
When ``AdventureWorksDbException`` or other ``AdventureWorksException`` exceptions are caught,
log the information by using the ``static void Loq(AdventureWorksException ex)`` method.
You need to meet the requirements.

## concept of throw

### 1.

You are developing an application that uses __structured exception handling__.
The application includes a class named ``ExceptionLogger``.
The ``ExceptionLogger`` class implements a method named ``LogException``
by using the following code segment:

public static void LogException(Exception ex)

You have the following requirements:
Log all exceptions by using the ``LogException()`` method of the ``ExceptionLogger`` class.
Rethrow the original exception, including the entire exception stack.
You need to meet the requirements.
Which code segment should you use?

catch (Exception ex) {
    ExceptionLogger.LogException(ex);
    throw;
}

### [CA2200: Rethrow to preserve stack details](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182363(v=vs.110).aspx):

Once an exception is thrown,
part of the information it carries is the stack trace.
The stack trace is a list of the method call hierarchy that
starts with the method that throws the exception and
ends with the method that catches the exception.
If an exception is re-thrown by specifying the exception
in the throw statement, the stack trace is restarted
at the current method and the list of method calls
between the original method that threw the exception and
the current method is lost.
To keep the original stack trace information with the exception,
use the throw statement without specifying the exception.

---

### 2. https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/how-should-you-write-the-catch-block-4/

You are creating a method that saves information to a database.
You have a static class named ``LogHelper``.
``LogHelper`` has a method named Log to log the exception.
You need to use the ``LogHelper.Log`` method to log the exception
raised by the database server.
The solution must ensure that the exception can be caught by the calling method,
while preserving the original stack trace.
How should you write the catch block?

* ``catch {``
* ``catch (SqlException ex) {``
* ``catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {``
* ``throw;``
* ``}``
* ``throw new FileNotFoundException();``
* ``throw ex;``
* ``LogHelper.Log(ex);``
* ``throw new SqlException();``

Answer:

catch (SqlException ex) {
	LogHelper.Log(ex);
	throw;
}

## Overflow exception

### 1. https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/which-type-of-block-should-you-use-5/

You are developing code for a class named ``Account``.
The ``Account`` class includes the following method:

public void Deposit(int dollars, int cents) {
	int totalCents = cents + this.cents;
	int extraDollars = totalCents / 100;
	this.cents = totalCents - 100 * extraCents;
	this.dollars += dollars + extraDollars;
}

You need to ensure that
__overflow exceptions are thrown when there is an error__.
Which type of block should you use?

A. ``checked``

B. ``try``

C. ``using``

## AppDomain.UnhandledException

### https://www.briefmenow.org/microsoft/which-two-actions-should-you-perform-1395/

An application is throwing unhandled ``NullReferenceException``
and ``FormatException`` errors. The stack trace shows that
the exceptions occur in the ``GetWebResult()`` method.
The application includes the following code to parse XML data retrieved from a web service.

int GetWebResult(XElement result) {	
	return int.Parse(result.Element("response").Value);	 
}

You need to handle the exceptions __without interfering with
the existing error-handling infrastructure__.
Which two actions should you perform?

A. Replace line 03 with the following code segment:

int returnValue;
int.Parse(result.Element("response").Value, out returnValue);
return returnValue;

B. Replace line 03 with the following code segment:

return int.ParseOptions.Safe(result.Element("response").Value);

C. Register an event handler with ``AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException``.

D. Use a ``try...catch`` statement to handle the exception in the ``GetWebResult()`` method

Answer: A, C

---

A:
The ``TryParse`` method is like the Parse method,
except the ``TryParse`` method does not throw an exception if the conversion fails.
It eliminates the need to use exception handling
to test for a FormatException in the event that
s is invalid and cannot be successfully parsed.

C: ``UnhandledException`` event handler
If the ``UnhandledException`` event is handled in the default application domain,
it is raised there for any unhandled exception in any thread,
no matter what application domain the thread started in.
If the thread started in an application domain that
has an event handler for UnhandledException,
the event is raised in that application domain.

### [ParseOptions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.codeanalysis.parseoptions?view=roslyn-dotnet)
``ParseOptions`` 沒有 ``Safe()`` method

---

### [AppDomain.UnhandledException Event](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.appdomain.unhandledexception?view=netcore-3.1)
* Occurs when an exception is not caught.
這是一個 event delegate

public event UnhandledExceptionEventHandler UnhandledException;

#### Examples

The following example demonstrates the ``UnhandledException`` event.
It defines an event handler, ``MyHandler``,
that is invoked whenever an unhandled exception is thrown
in the default application domain. It then throws two exceptions.
The first is handled by a ``try/catch`` block.
The second is unhandled and invokes the ``MyHandle`` routine
before the application terminates.

using System;
using System.Security.Permissions;

public class Example {
   [SecurityPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Flags=SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlAppDomain)]
   public static void Main() {
      AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
      currentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(MyHandler);

      try {
         throw new Exception("1");
      } catch (Exception e) {
         Console.WriteLine("Catch clause caught : {0} \n", e.Message);
      }

      throw new Exception("2");
   }

   static void MyHandler(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs args) {
      Exception e = (Exception) args.ExceptionObject;
      Console.WriteLine("MyHandler caught : " + e.Message);
      Console.WriteLine("Runtime terminating: {0}", args.IsTerminating);
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Catch clause caught : 1
//
//       MyHandler caught : 2
//       Runtime terminating: True
//
//       Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: 2
//          at Example.Main()
