🤖 In C#, the term "primitive value" generally refers to the basic data types that are predefined by the language. These types are value types (as opposed to reference types) and are stored directly on the stack. Here is a list of the primitive value types in C#:
Integral Types:
byte : 8-bit unsigned integer
sbyte : 8-bit signed integer
short : 16-bit signed integer
ushort : 16-bit unsigned integer
int : 32-bit signed integer
uint : 32-bit unsigned integer
long : 64-bit signed integer
ulong : 64-bit unsigned integer
char : 16-bit Unicode character
Floating-Point Types:
float : 32-bit floating-point number
double : 64-bit floating-point number
Decimal Type:
decimal : 128-bit precise decimal value for financial and monetary calculations
Boolean Type:
bool : Represents a Boolean value, either true or false
Other Types:
void : Represents the absence of a type (used mainly as a return type for methods that do not return a value)
Note:
Although string is often used similarly to primitive types, it is not a primitive type in C#. It is a reference type.
enum and struct are also value types, but they are not primitive.
These primitive types are the building blocks for creating more complex data structures in C#.
