Datatype
A data type is a type of data. Of course, that is rather circular definition, and also not very helpful. Therefore, a better definition is Datatype is a classification that specifies type, size, range alloted for value. Some common datatypes include int, string, char, string, bool. Below are the datatypes with their respective size and range.
Datatype | Size | Range |
---|---|---|
byte | 8-bit(1 byte) | 0 to 255 |
sbyte | 8-bit(1 byte) | -128 to 127 |
short | 16-bit(2 byte) | -32,768 to 32,767 |
ushort | 16-bit(2 byte) | 0 to 65,535 |
int | 32-bit(4 byte) | -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 |
uint | 32-bit(4 byte) | 0 to 4,294,967,295 |
long | 64-bit(8 byte) | -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,8075 |
ulong | 64-bit(8 byte) | 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 |
