Simple types
Most simple types in C# are similar to the simple types in C
Major differences:
All simple C# types have fixed bit sizes
C# has a boolean type called
bool
C# chars are 16 bit long
In C# there is a high-precision 128 bit numeric fixed-point type called
decimal
Pointers are not supported in the normal parts of a C# program
In the unsafe part C# allows for pointers like in C
All simple types are in reality structs in C#, and therefore they have members
