Simple Types: Implicit Conversions byte sbyte char short ushort int uint long ulong float double decimal bool All other conversions between types above are possible using an explicit conversion: A B A (A) B e.g.: long a = 1; int b = (int) a; C# vs. C/C++: No conversions possible to or from bool type in C#!

Simple Types: Implicit Conversions ≠ Inheritance byte sbyte char short ushort int uint long ulong float double decimal All other conversions between types above are possible using an explicit conversion: A B A (A) B e.g.: long a = 1; int b = (int) a; short is convertible to int ≠ int is inherited from short nor short is inherited from int

Simple Types: Literals Integer literals Default type of integer literals is int – larger type is selected if literal’s value does not fit into an int, e.g long A literal can be implicitly converted to a smaller type if literal’s value fits, e.g.: byte a = 1; Can be decimal, e.g. 254 Can be hexadecimal, e.g. 0xFE A literal case-insensitive suffix forces a subset of possible types: u U uint, ulong l L long, ulong ul uL Ul UL lu lU Lu LU ulong Real literals Default type of real literals is double. Format: [ ] [E[+/-]123], e.g. 10.0, 10E15, 10E-4, A literal case-insensitive suffix forces literal type: f Ffloat d Ddouble m Mdecimal
