C# Data types

In C#.net language there are 4 types of data types and 2 of which are common because of their using in programming. These 2 commonly used data types are int and float. Now, int types are categorized into two forms these are signed and unsigned. Signed data types are those data types which can store negative value as well as positive value, but Unsigned data types can store only positive values.
The values range of the different data types as follows.

Types	Alias	Allowed Values
sbyte	System.SByte	-128 to 127
byte	System.Byte	0 to 255
short	System.Int16	-32,768 to 32,767
ushort	System.UInt16	0 to 65,535
int	System.Int32	-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,648
uint	System.UInt32	0 to 4,294,967,295
long	System.Int64	-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
ulong	System.UInt64	0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615

Here in the table s stands for signed data types and u stands for unsigned data types.

Now, we also need to store floating point values, for that we need float data types. There are basically three types of floating point data types and these are: float, double and decimal. Here the values range table of floating point data types:

Types	Alias For	App. max range	App. min range
float	System.Single	1.5 x 10-45	3.4 x 1038
double	System.Double	5.0 x 10-324	1.7 x 10308
decimal	System.Decimal	1.0 x 10-28	7.9 x 1028

  
Here three other simple types are available. These are:
              

Types	Alias for	Allowed Values
char	System.Char	0 to 65,535
bool	System.Boolean	takes only true or false
string	System.String	takes only number or sequence  of characters like "Microsoft"

C# data types are similar to Java but with little difference.
