Introduction to Dart

Programming

Day 4
Learning Dart as a foundational skill
for Flutter development

Trainer: Aditya Patil


Dart Basics
What is Dart?
Dart is a programming language developed by Google (2011).

Designed specifically for:

> Building modern web, mobile, and desktop apps.

> Powering Flutter for cross-platform UI development.

Features of Dart:

> Fast: Compiles to native code.

> Productive: Supports hot reload for instant UI updates.

> Flexible: Object-oriented with functional programming features.


Advantages of Dart
Why Use Dart?
Advantages:

1. Cross-platform Development: Code once and deploy everywhere.

2. Speed: Ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation ensures faster performance.

3. Hot Reload: Instantly reflect code changes without losing app state.

4. Modern Features:
a. Null safety to reduce runtime errors.
b. Built-in support for asynchronous programming.

5. Easy to Learn: Simple syntax and approachable learning curve.

6. Strong Community Support: Backed by Google and widely adopted.


Setting Up Dart
Environment
Prerequisites for Dart Sdk
1. Visit dart.dev for download links.

2. Follow platform-specific installation steps (Windows/Mac/Linux).

3. Verify installation using:

dart --version
Setting Up IDE
(Integrated Development Environment)
Prerequisites for Android Studio
1. Visit https://developer.android.com/ for download links.

2. Follow platform-specific installation steps (Windows/Mac/Linux).


Creating Your First Dart
Program
Writing Code:
1. Create a file named main.dart.

2. Add the following code:

void main() {
print('Hello, Dart!');
}

Running Code
1. Using terminal:

dart run main.dart


Understanding Dart Syntax
Main Function:
Every Dart program starts with the main() function.
Comments:
Single-line: // This is a comment

Multi-line:

Variables in Dart
Definition
Variables are containers for storing data values.

Types of Variables:
var: Type inferred by Dart.

final: Value cannot be changed after initialization.

const: Compile-time constant.


Dynamic Variable
Dynamic is another type in Dart that allows changing the variable type at runtime. This means you
can assign a value of one type at runtime and then assign a value of a different type to the same
variable.
Data Types in Dart
Basic Data Types:
1. Numbers:
int: Whole numbers (e.g., 5, -10).

double: Decimal numbers (e.g., 3.14).

2. Strings:
Sequence of characters.

String name = 'Alice';

3. Booleans
Represents true/false values.

bool isActive = true;

4. Lists and Maps:


List: Ordered collection.

Map: Key-value pairs.


Control Statements:
Conditionals
If-Else
Switch-Case
Control Statements: Loops
For Loop:
While Loop:
Do-While Loop:
