Chapter 21: Built-in Types

Examples

Immutable reference type - string

// assign string from a string literal
string s = "hello";

// assign string from an array of characters
char[] chars = new char[] { 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' };
string s = new string(chars, 0, chars.Length);

// assign string from a char pointer, derived from a string
string s;
unsafe
{
fixed (char* charPointer = "hello")
{
s = new string(charPointer);
}
}

Value type - char

// single character s
char c = 's';

// character s: casted from integer value
char c = (char)115;

// unicode character: single character s
char c = '\u0073';

// unicode character: smiley face
char c = '\u263a';

Value type - short, int, long (signed 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit integers)

// assigning a signed short to its minimum value
short s = -32768;

// assigning a signed short to its maximum value
short s = 32767;

// assigning a signed int to its minimum value
int i = -2147483648;

// assigning a signed int to its maximum value
int i = 2147483647;

// assigning a signed long to its minimum value (note the long postfix)
long l = -9223372036854775808L;
