CHAPTER 1
Numbers and Enumerations
1.0 Introduction
Simple types are value types that are a subset of the built-in types in C#, although, in
fact, the types are defined as part of the .NET Framework Class Library (.NET FCL).
Simple types are made up of several numeric types and a
bool type. These numeric
types consist of a decimal type (
decimal), nine integral types (byte, char, int, long,
sbyte, short, uint, ulong, ushort), and two floating-point types (float, double).
Table 1-1 lists the simple types and their fully qualified names in the .NET Framework.
