C# objects as arguments 🧳
Summary
TLDRThis video tutorial demonstrates how to pass objects as arguments in programming. It uses a 'Car' class example with 'model' and 'color' properties. The instructor shows how to create a method to change a car's color by passing a car object and a new color. Additionally, it covers creating a method to copy a car object, returning a new car with the same properties. The video is aimed at helping viewers understand object passing and returning in methods, and encourages engagement through likes and subscriptions.
Takeaways

Q & A
What is the purpose of the 'changeColor' method in the video?
-The 'changeColor' method is used to alter the color of a car object by accepting a car object and a new color as parameters.
How many fields does the 'Car' class have according to the video?
-The 'Car' class has two fields: 'model' and 'color'.
What is the data type of the 'color' field in the 'Car' class?
-The 'color' field in the 'Car' class is of the data type 'string'.
What is the name of the method created to copy a car object?
-The name of the method created to copy a car object is 'copy'.
How does the 'copy' method return a new 'Car' object?
-The 'copy' method returns a new 'Car' object by creating a new instance of 'Car' using the 'model' and 'color' from the passed car object.
What is the signature of the 'changeColor' method as described in the video?
-The 'changeColor' method signature is 'public static void changeColor(Car car, string color)'.
What is the signature of the 'copy' method as described in the video?
-The 'copy' method signature is 'public static Car copy(Car car)'.
How does the video demonstrate changing the color of 'car1'?
-The video demonstrates changing the color of 'car1' by invoking the 'changeColor' method with 'car1' and the new color 'silver' as arguments.
What is the output of the console statement after changing the color of 'car1'?
-The output of the console statement after changing the color of 'car1' is 'Silver Mustang'.
How does the video explain passing an object as an argument?
-The video explains that to pass an object as an argument, you need to have the correct parameter setup, which includes the data type of the object followed by a name for the parameter.
What is the significance of the 'car.color = color' line in the 'changeColor' method?
-The 'car.color = color' line in the 'changeColor' method assigns the new color to the 'color' field of the passed 'car' object.

🚗 Passing Objects as Arguments
This paragraph introduces the concept of passing objects as arguments in programming. The video presenter explains how to define a class 'Car' with fields for 'model' and 'color', and a constructor to initialize these properties. The presenter then demonstrates creating a 'Car' object and a method named 'changeColor' that changes the color of a passed 'Car' object. The method takes two parameters: a 'Car' object and a 'String' for the new color. The presenter also shows how to invoke this method by passing the 'Car' object and the new color, and how to display the updated 'Car' object's properties.

hey what's going on people
in this video i'm going to show you all
how we can pass an object as an argument
so here's the rundown i have a class car
cars have two fields
a model and a color and a constructor to
assign
a model and color argument that we
receive i have one car object
car car one equals new car the model of
this car is a mustang and the color is
red
so i'm going to create a method that
will change the color of my car
but i have to pass in a car object so
let's create a method to handle that for
us
public static void it's not returning
anything and let's call this method
change color and we'll need two
parameters
a car that we would like to change the
color of so the data type is going to be
car as well as a name for this parameter
let's name whatever car object that we
receive as just
simply car and we need a color as well
that would be a string
string color then to change the color of
this car
i would type car dot color
equals whatever color that we receive
and that's it
so now when we invoke this method we
have to pass in a car object as well as
a color
so that would be change color and the
car object that i will pass in as an
argument
is car 1 the name of the object as well
as a new color let's color this car
silver
and then let's display our cars color
and
model console.writeline
car one dot color
plus all out of space plus car one
dot model and this should change the
color of our car
to a silver mustang so to pass an object
as an argument
you need to make sure that you have the
right parameter set up you type
the data type of this object followed by
a name for this parameter
then when you invoke this method you
have to pass in the name of the object
let's try something a little bit
different let's create a method to
copy an object so let's get rid of this
change color method but we'll keep our
car object
so we'll create a method to return a
car object so public
static instead of void the data type
is the type that we're returning we're
returning a car
object so replace void with car
then we need a name for this method
let's call this copy
so we will pass in a car object the data
type
is car and i will name this argument
that we receive
as car now one thing that we can do to
copy a car object is return a
new car and then we'll need to pass in
a model and a color so the model
of this car is car dot model and the
color
is car dot color
now if i would like to copy car 1 and
create a second car
a copy of it i can type car car 2
equals copy and then i will pass
this object as an argument and then
let's display the fields
of car 2 and i bet it's a red mustang
oh yeah there we go so we successfully
created a copy of car 1
by returning a car object so yeah that's
how to pass
objects as arguments you just have to
list the data type of the object
since we're working with cars we had to
set up a car parameter
then if you would like to return an
object instead of void you would replace
void with the data type of the object
you would like to return
and if you would like to return a new
object like what we did with this copy
method
you would return a new and then call the
constructor of whatever object you would
like to create and return
so that's why we called the car
constructor and then we returned that
new car
back to this spot here so it's kind of
like we replaced this method with
calling the car constructor something
like that
so yeah that's how to pass objects as
arguments
as well as return objects from methods
too so yeah if this video helped you out
