00:00:01,340 --> 00:00:03,770

Hi. Welcome back. In the previous module,

2
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:05,620
we learned some tips for working with

3
00:00:05,620 --> 00:00:07,740
characters, strings, and formatting. In

4
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:09,300
this module, we're going to be covering

5
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:11,150
some tips for working with numbers and

6
00:00:11,150 --> 00:00:13,870
dates. So we're going to kick off this

7
00:00:13,870 --> 00:00:16,530
module by learning how to parse strings

8
00:00:16,530 --> 00:00:18,460
into numbers and how to control this

9
00:00:18,460 --> 00:00:20,330
parsing using the NumberStyles

10
00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:22,630
enumeration. We'll then learn some tips

11
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:25,340
for preventing ambiguous DateTime parsing

12
00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:27,785
and mis-parsing and also how to parse

13
00:00:27,785 --> 00:00:30,360
DateTimes using the DateTimeStyles

14
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,100
enumeration. Next, we'll learn how we can

15
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:36,210
represent arbitrarily large integer values
16
00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:38,980
if the standard integer data types are not

17
00:00:38,980 --> 00:00:41,160
large enough for your requirements. We'll

18
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:42,850
cover a couple of different ways of

19
00:00:42,850 --> 00:00:45,020
creating random numbers, including the

20
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:47,630
ability to create cryptographically secure

21
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:50,040
random numbers. Finally, we'll finish off

22
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,050
this module by learning how we can quickly

23
00:00:52,050 --> 00:00:55,300
generate a sequence of integer values. So

24
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:57,000
let's head over to Visual Studio, and

25
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,880
we'll start off by learning how we can

26
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,900
control the parsing of strings into

27
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:05,000
numbers using the NumberStyles enumeration.
