C# questions regarding coding

Question

If I have a Pet class with the get set methods for int, double and bool

is this correct?

public class Pet
{
  private string name;
  private bool age;
  public Pet(string name, bool age)
  {
     this.name = name;
     this.age = age;
  }
  public string Name
  {
    get { return name; }
    set { name = value; }
  }
  public bool Age
  {
    get { return age; }
    set { age = value; }
  }
}

Main Method

Pet myPet = new Pet ("james", true);

would it be fine to put true in the object for bool?

Answer 1

No.

For this you'll have to create a custom constructor like:

public class Pet
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public float Weight { get; set; }
    public bool Alive { get; set; }

    //defining a custom constructor
    public Pet(string name, float weight, bool alive)
    {
        this.Name = name;      //assign input parameter value to the Property
        this.Weight = weight;
        this.Alive = alive;
    }
}

Answer 2

If your class has int, double and bool properties then this object constructor

Pet myPet = new Pet("fish", 20.0, true); 

Would not compile. The "fish" parameter is a string and the compiler will fail (assuming you're setting the property values in the object constructor)

Answer 3

You need an constructor for it:

public class Pet
{
    public Pet(string type, double price, bool something)
    {
    }
}
