0024 Literal suffix
<![CDATA[
You can use suffix to define literals explicitly.
The following table lists the suffix used by C#.
Letter C# type Example
F float f = 1.0F;
D double d = 1D;
M decimal decimal d = 1.0M;
U uint or ulong uint i = 1U;
L long or ulong ulong i = 1UL;
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(1D.GetType());
Console.WriteLine(1.6F.GetType());
Console.WriteLine(1.1M.GetType());
Console.WriteLine(1U.GetType());
Console.WriteLine(1UL.GetType());
}
}
The output:
System.Double
System.Single
System.Decimal
System.UInt32
System.UInt64
We can use the suffix when initializing the variables as well.
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
decimal d = 1.1M;
Console.WriteLine(d);
}
}
The output:
1.1
