A number of subsequent chapters are dedicated to the fundamentals of the C# programming language, covering variables, constants, operators, flow control, looping and object oriented programming (including areas such as inheritance and abstract classes). Later chapters focus on issues such as manipulating and formatting strings and working with arrays and collection classes.
