Greetings,<br />
<br />
I am working through someone else's code and learning as I go. &nbsp;I came across this pice of code and I wonder why would I write this?<br />
<br />
private static int EXPECTED_LENGTH_OF_BYTE_AR<wbr />RAY = 998;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; public static int expectedLengthOfBHMConfigu<wbr />rationArra<wbr />y<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; get<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return EXPECTED_LENGTH_OF_BYTE_AR<wbr />RAY;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
<br />
Instead of calling expectedLengthOfBHMConfigu<wbr />rationArra<wbr />y and having a 998 returned would it not be more efficient to reference the variable EXPECTED_LENGTH_OF_BYTE_AR<wbr />RAY directly?

Greetings,

I am working through someone else's code and learning as I go.  I came across this pice of code and I wonder why would I write this?

private static int EXPECTED_LENGTH_OF_BYTE_ARRAY = 998;
        public static int expectedLengthOfBHMConfigurationArray
        {
            get
            {
                return EXPECTED_LENGTH_OF_BYTE_ARRAY;
            }
        }

Theory Question

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Programming theory deals with the design, implementation, analysis, characterization, and classification of programming languages and their individual features, along with introductory programming concepts like program structure, variable declaration and conditional and looping constructs. Sub-disciplines include the formal semantics of programming languages, type theory, program analysis and transformation, comparative programming language analysis, metaprogramming, domain-specific languages, compiler construction and run-time systems.

Programming Theory

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
