c# - Calling objects, methods and properties from one class and displaying them with information in another -

i have class called baserobot. containing following code:

//=== defines possible orientation of robot. //=== note order important allow cycling performed in meaningful manner. public enum compass {     north, east, south, west };  //=== basic robot. public class baserobot {     //--- behaviour properties identified, associated state.     //--- robot identification number.    private int mid;    public int id    {        { return mid; }    }     //--- direction in robot facing.    private compass morientation;    public compass orientation    {        { return morientation; }        set { morientation = value; }    }     //--- robot's current position.    private point mposition;    public point position    {        { return mposition; }    }      //--- robot's home position, created.    public point mhome;    public point home    {        { return mhome; }    }      //--- turn orientation left (anti-clockwise) or right (clockwise).     //--- implementation relies on n, e, s, w ordering of enumeration values allow arithmetic work.      public void turnleft()     {         --morientation;         if (morientation < 0) morientation = compass.west;     } // end turnleft method.          public void turnright()     {         morientation = (compass)(((int)morientation + 1) % 4);     } // end turnright method.      //--- move 1 unit forward in current orientation.     public void move()     {         switch (morientation)         {             case compass.north: mposition.y++; break;             case compass.east: mposition.x++; break;             case compass.south: mposition.y--; break;             case compass.west: mposition.x--; break;         }     } // end move method.      //--- constructor methods.     public baserobot(int aid)     {         mid = aid;         mhome.x = 0;         mhome = new point(0, 0);         mposition = mhome;     }     public baserobot(int aid, int ax, int ay)     {         mid = aid;         mhome = new point(ax, ay);         mposition = mhome;     } // end baserobot constructor methods. }  

in program class, looking call objects, methods , properties code display information regrading robot's status, such robot home, orientation , position. looking console display this:

robot has home @ <0,0> facing north , @ <0,0>

any ideas of how can achieve this?

first, suggest read auto-implemented properties. make code like:

public point home { get; private set; } public point position { get; private set; } public compass orientation { get; private set; } 

now formatting robot string. can override tostring() method of robot class:

public override string tostring() {    return string.format("robot has home @ {0} facing {1} , @ {2}",                         mhome, morientation, mposition); } 

or pass robot instance following method:

public void writetoconsole(baserobot robot) {    console.writeline("robot has home @ {0} facing {1} , @ {2}",                      robot.home, robot.orientation, robot.position); } 

note: default system.drawing.point class converted string {x=42,y=8}. if need formatted <42,8> should manually provide values x , y this:

string.format("robot has home @ <{0},{1}> facing {2} , @ <{3},{4}>",                home.x, home.y, orientation, position.x, position.y); 

or if point own class, override it's tostring() method:

return string.format("<{0},{1}>", x, y);
