what i came up with so far are as follows:

public class test
{
    int i;
    public Object get()
    {
        return i;
    }
}

public void program()
{
    test t = new test();

    t.get() = 1;
}

the place which i underline in the code is where there is a error.

Solution 1

Try this one:

C#

public class test
{
    int i;
    public int I
    {
        get{ return i; }
        set{ i = value; }
    }
}
 
public void program()
{
    test t = new test();
 
    t.I = 1;
}

Problem with your code is that you cant set a function. You have to use a property with both get and set. Then you can create a new instance of your object (in this case TestClass) and set the value of it's properties.

C#

public class TestClass
{
    public int MyNumericValue {get; set; }
}

public void program()
{
    test t = new TestClass();
    t.MyNumericValue  = 8;

   Console.WriteLine(t.MyNumericValue); // Will return 8
}
