Question 2
Use the following C# Main method to answer the questions that follow:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int firstValue;
double[] numbers = new double[] { 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4 };
InitializeValue(out firstValue);
Console.WriteLine(MultiplyBy1_5(firstValue));
MultiplyNumbers(numbers, 10);
Console.WriteLine(CountNumbers(numbers));
Console.WriteLine(CountNumbers(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10));
Console.WriteLine(CountNumbers(1.7,1.9,1.2,7.5,3.4));
}
Implement the following methods according to the calls made in the Main method:
2.1

Implement the method named InitializeValue. The method must have a prompt
statement that displays the message "Enter an integer value: ". Then the program
has to read in a value, convert it to an integer and assign it to the parameter. Make
use of the built-in TryParse method to ensure that a value of 1 is assigned to the
parameter if the user enters an invalid value. This method must have no return
statement.
(6)

2.2

Implement the method named MultiplyBy1_5. The method must have one
parameter as shown in the call in the main method. This method must return the
parameter multiplied by 1.5.
(4)

2.3

Implement the method named MultiplyNumbers. The method must receive two
parameters (an array and an integer) as shown in the call in the main method. It
must multiply each of the elements of the received array by the received integer.
This method must have no return statement.
(6)

2.4

Implement the method named CountNumbers. The method receive any number of
values as called in the main method and should count and return how many
numbers it received. Take note that the method is called three times in the main
method. You need to implement one method that can handle any of these calls.

Question 3
You are given the following C# code. Write down the 10 lines of output that will be
displayed by this program:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int number1 = 10; int number2 = 20; int number3;
methodA(number1);
Console.WriteLine("2. {0}",number1);
methodB(ref number2);
Console.WriteLine("4. {0}",number2);
methodC(out number3, number1, number2);
Console.WriteLine("6. {0}", number3);
methodD(10);
methodE(2);
methodF("9",1, num3: 1);
methodF("10", num3: 1, num1: 3);
}//end main
static void methodA(int number1)
{
number1 += 10;
Console.WriteLine("1. {0}", number1);
number1 += 10;
}//end method
static void methodB(ref int number2)
{
number2 += 10;
Console.WriteLine("3. {0}", number2);
number2 += 10;
}//end method
static void methodC(out int number3, int number1, int number2)
{
number3 = 50;
Console.WriteLine("5. {0}", number3);
number3 = 10;
}//end methodC
static void methodD(double value)
{
Console.WriteLine("7. {0} as a double", value);
}//end methodD
static void methodD(float value)
{
Console.WriteLine("7. {0} as a float", value);
}//end methodD
static void methodE(int num1 = 1, int num2 = 2, int num3 = 3)
{ Console.WriteLine("8. {0}", (num1 * num2 * num3));
}//end methodE
static void methodF(string s, int num1 =1, int num2 =2, int num3 =3)
{ Console.WriteLine("{0}. {1}",s , (num1 * num2 * num3));
}//end method
