Value type - short, int, long (signed 16 bit, 32 bit, C# with Example
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; // assigning a signed long to its maximum value (note the long postfix) long l = 9223372036854775807L; It is also possible to make these types nullable, meaning that additionally to the usual values, null can be assigned, too. If a variable of a nullable type is not initialized, it will be null instead of 0. Nullable types are marked by adding a question mark (?) after the type. int a; //This is now 0. int? b; //This is now null.
