A list of multiple data types?

Question

I have two classes as such:

public class MachineLine
{
    public double X1;
    public double Y1;
    public double X2;
    public double Y2;
    public dou         


        

Answer 1

You have 2 ways:

1- Use inheritance:

public class MachineShape{}

public class MachineLine :MachineShape
{
    public double X1;
    public double Y1;
    public double X2;
    public double Y2;
    public double Thickness;
}

public class MachineCircle : MachineShape
{
    public double CenterX;
    public double CenterY;
    public double Radius;
}

List m = new List();

2- Use interface:

public interface IMachineShape{}

public class MachineLine : IMachineShape
{
    public double X1;
    public double Y1;
    public double X2;
    public double Y2;
    public double Thickness;
}

public class MachineCircle : IMachineShape
{
    public double CenterX;
    public double CenterY;
    public double Radius;
}

List m = new List();

And I recommend inheritance in your case...
