Value Types

Value types include the numeric types (integers, floats, and so forth) and the Boolean type (bool). They also include user – defined types such as structs and enumerations. The following are the C# value types and a description of each type.
C# Type            Description
bool            Boolean
byte            Unsigned integral
char            Unsigned integral
decimal            Signed numeric
double            Signed numeric
enum            Enumeration
float            Signed numeric
int            Signed integral
long            Signed integral
sbyte            Signed integral
short            Signed integral
struct            User – defined structure
uint            Unsigned integral
ulong            Unsigned integral
ushort            Unsigned integral
Value types are stored on the stack, which is the region in memory used to store local variables and their data. All value types are implicitly derived from the Value Type class in the System namespace. Value types, how-ever, cannot be inherited.
