Summary
This was only the first chapter of this book, but it contained quite a lot of information that will be useful while you’re reading the remaining ones. First, the C# programming language was briefly presented with a focus on showing various data types, both value and reference ones. You learned the difference between them and why understanding this difference is so important while developing applications.
Next, you saw various value types, including the built-in ones, such as integral numeric types, floating-point numeric types, Boolean type, and Unicode characters. Then, you learned about constants, enumerations, value tuples, user-defined struct types, and nullable value types.
