Value types
To give you a better understanding of data types, let’s start by analyzing the first group, namely value types. They are further divided into the following categories:
- Structs encapsulating data and functionalities, which are divided into the following categories:
- Constants
- Enumerations
All of these groups will be described in this section, starting with the simple types.
Integral numbers
The first group of built-in value types are the integral numeric types, which allow you to store various integer values. Similar to other simple types, they can be used either as keywords or as types from the System
namespace. Such types differ by the number of bytes used and whether signed or unsigned integral values are represented by them.
