Modules in this learning path
Learn the difference between many data types, how they work, what they do, and how to choose one over another.
Take control of the data in your applications, knowing when to apply the correct technique to change data types as needed.
Use powerful helper methods to manipulate and control the content of arrays.
Use C# to format strings with white space, special characters, padding, and alignment. Give context to numeric data like currency, percentages, and numbers with decimals.
Use built in methods to extract, remove, or replace data in strings.
