Data Type Suffixes (Numeric Literals) in C#
2010-09-03
Maybe you need to check .NET Data Type Suffixes, or call it Numeric Literals.
For example: 100L means long type, then what meaning of 100M ?
The following is all data type suffixes which I have found:
| Type | Suffix | .NET Framework Type |
|---|---|---|
| long | L or l | System.Int64 |
| decimal | M or m | System.Decimal |
| double | D or d | System.Double |
| float | F or f | System.Single |
| int | [1] | System.Int32 |
| Type | Suffix | Example |
|---|---|---|
| uint | U or u | 50U |
| long | L or l | 50L |
| ulong | UL or ul | 50UL |
| float | F or f | 23.45F |
| decimal | M or m | 12.34M |
(by the way: using 0x such as 0x100 means the number '100' is Hexadecimal)
float ff = 23.56; // error !! float ff = 23.56f; //OK
If you want to know how the suffix will be in VB.net, please visit this site: UnderMyHat, you will get more information for not only C# data suffixes but also for VB !
