C# provides several data types to store numerical values and it’s important to choose the right one. In this article, we will delve into the difference between int, Int16, Int32, and Int64 in C#. You will learn about the size, minimum, and maximum values for each data type and when it is appropriate to use them.
In C#, int
, Int32
, and Int64
are numeric data types capable of storing integer values. They differ in their range and memory usage.
The main difference between int, Int16, Int32, and Int64 in C# are as follows:Int16
variables can hold values ranging from -32,768 to 32,767,Int32
variables can hold values ranging from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 andInt64
variables can store values ranging from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.
