---|---|---|
byte | 8-bit | 0 to 255 |
sbyte | 8-bit | -128 to 127 |
short | 16-bit | -32,768 to 32,767 |
ushort | 16-bit | 0 to 65,535 |
int | 32-bit | -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 |
uint | 32-bit | 0 to 4,294,967,295 |
long | 64-bit | Very large range |
ulong | 64-bit | 0 to very large number |
Floating Point Numbers
Type | Size | Precision |
---|---|---|
float | 32-bit | ~7 digits |
double | 64-bit | ~15-16 digits |
decimal | 128-bit | ~28-29 digits (higher precision, used for financial calcs) |
Other value types char – 16-bit Unicode character
bool – true or false
enum – User-defined enumeration
struct – User-defined value type
