Types And Objects In C#
Course Home | What are Types and Objects? | Code Example(s)
All the major programming languages come with common types out of the box, and C# is no different. You can refer to the lesson above to learn more about specific types, here we are going to look at how to create instances of them in C#.
We can declare a new type just by declaring the type and providing a name and ending the line.
int myAge;
Or we can go one further and also assign a values
int myAge = 31;
Here is a list of the common types in C#.
int myInt = 31;
double myDouble = 31.7;
short myShort = 14000;
//Adding the L tells the compiler this number is a Long, without the L is treats it as an int
long myLong = 1900617361876L;
bool myBoolean = true;
char myChar = 'r';
String myString = "richard is friendly";
//The [] tells C# we want an array of the type
//The {} is used to start and end the content of the array
char[] myCharArray = { 'r', 'i', 'c', 'h', 'a', 'r', 'd' };
int[] myIntArray = { 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6, 7 };
String[] myStringArray = {"Richard", "Java", "Testing"};
Have a look at the code example for some code you can download and run and see how these types behave.
