Subclassing in C#

[MrD3]

Hiya

I just wanted to properly know if it's possible to use subclassing in C#.

I know its the colon sign like this code shown here:

class person : gender{

}

But this is the real issue I am having trouble with here shown in JavaScript
(btw I never use JS before so apologies if I get this wrong):

class person{

var name : string;
var age: int;

}

class gender extends person{
var isMale : boolean;

function B(name : string, age: int, isMale : boolean){

super.name = name;
super.age = age;
this.isMale = isMale;

       }
}

Now I want to convert this JavaScript class into C# but I do not properly know how to do it.

It's very straightforward. What you want is called inheritance in C# world.

class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

class Gender : Person
{
    public bool IsMale { get; set; }

    public Gender(string name, int age, bool ismale)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
        IsMale = ismale;
    }
}

or if you know that you will not instantiate person class alone, just use it as base, you can make it abstract and expand from it:

abstract class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }

    protected Person(string name, int age)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
    }
}

class Gender : Person
{
    public bool IsMale { get; set; }

    public Gender(string name, int age, bool ismale) :base(name, age)
    {
        IsMale = ismale;
    }
}

Or just use interface instead of base class

interface IPerson
{
    string Name { get; set; }
    int Age { get; set; }
}

class Gender : IPerson
{
    public Gender(string name, int age, bool ismale)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
        IsMale = ismale;
    }

    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public bool IsMale { get; set; }
}

or you can use composition instead of inheritance

sealed class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }

    public Person(string name, int age)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
    }
}

class Gender
{
    private readonly Person _person;

    public Gender(string name, int age, bool ismale)
    {
        _person = new Person(name, age);
        IsMale = ismale;
    }

    public string Name { get { return _person.Name; } }
    public int Age { get { return _person.Age; } }

    public bool IsMale { get; set; }
}

EDIT:
Remember that properties don't work in Unity if you want to add parameter field to your asset. You need public variable, not property like I used here.
