High Precision Decimal Type in C#

Data Types in C#

• Value types are stored on the stack in C#.
• A complex type in C# is a Struct.

Data Types

• The char data type in C# assumes a size of 16 bits (2 bytes) and can hold a single Unicode character.
• The int data type is used to hold numbers in C#.
• The double data type is used to hold numbers with fractional parts in C#.
• The Boolean data type is used to hold true or false values in C# and is typically used for conditional statements and logical operations.

Data Types for Specific Scenarios

• The decimal data type is suitable for storing large, precise decimal values.
• The uint data type is an unsigned integer data type.

Keywords and Operators

• The 'const' keyword is used to declare a constant field or a local whose value is evaluated at compile time.
• The purpose of an operator in C# is to perform operations on variables and values.
• The correct way to assign a value to a variable in C# is using the assignment operator (=).
• A variable can be declared and initialized in a single statement in C# using the assignment operator (=).

Variable Initialization and User Input

• Initializing a variable with a value at the time of declaration in C# makes the code more readable and helps to avoid null reference exceptions.
• The Console.ReadLine() method is used to accept input from the user and store it in a variable in C#.

Value Types and Reference Types

• A value type stores a value directly, whereas a reference type stores a memory address that points to the location of the value.
• Examples of value types include int, bool, and enum, while examples of reference types include classes, arrays, and interfaces.
