C# Exercise: Vending Machine (OOP, Objects, Classes, Methods)

Create a Console application called “Ch4-Vending“.
Add a class to the application called “VendingMachine“.This class will be composed of one field (i.e., instance variable or attribute) and several methods as follows:
A field of type int called “DepositedAmount“
A constructor that takes no parameters that simply initializes the machine’s DepositedAmount to 0.
A method (no return value) called “DepositCoin” with a single int parameter called “coinAmount”.
This method adds the value passed in the coinAmount parameter to the machine’s DepositedAmount field.
A method (no return value) called “GetDrink” with no parameters
This method does one of two things. If the machine’s DepositedAmount is is sufficient to cover the cost of a drink (75 cents or more), then the method calculates the change (i.e.,DepositedAmount less 75 cents), writes “Your change is {change amount} cents” to the Console, and resets the DepositedAmount back to 0. If the machine’s DepositedAmount is not sufficient (less than 75 cents), it writes “Insert more coins” to the Console.
A method (no return value) called “GetRefund” with no parameters
This method simply displays “You were refunded {refund amount}” (refund amount should be the whole DepositedAmount) to the console and resets the machine’s DepositedAmountback to 0.
Your Main method should create a single instance of your VendingMachine class. You should then call methods on this object to fully test that the machine is functioning properly. No need to get input from the user. Just “hard code” instructions in your Main method.

Why don't you use depositedAmount += coinAmount inside DepositCoin method so that the coin insertion is accumulated?

[@RandomPlaceHolderName]

Mhmm. Clearly states the method should add.

Great video as always :) Thank you.

[@COD_Teo]

what if you tried adding stock to the vending machine ?

[@xVarga]

why is the constructor necessary here? cant we just declare the depositedAmount field as 0 without using a constructor?

[@itech40]

Awesome vid keep it up :)!

Good work as always. Could you do a program that calculates take home pay of an hourly and or salaried employee? Ive got this type of problem for an assignment and the switch statement is really screwing me up. I dont know if I should keep it in main() or put it in class ABC. It would be much appricated.

Dreadric79 What is the exercise number?

[@gamerdarkness7021]

can u code an exercise for me

[@নীরবপ্রহর]

will you please solve a problem for me?

[@jordanrussell5502]

how would i do this in a form, i need to have buttons for each entity instead of it being in a console
