Variables and Data Types

In C#, variables are used to store and manipulate data. Before using a variable, you need to declare its type and assign a value to it.

C# provides various data types to represent different kinds of information. Some of the commonly used data types are:

int (integer): used for storing whole numbers.
double (floating-point): used for storing decimal numbers with floating-point precision.
string: used for storing text.
bool (boolean): used for storing boolean values (true or false).

Here's an example of declaring and initializing variables of different data types:

TEXT/X-CSHARP

1int age = 30;
2string name = "John Doe";
3double salary = 50000.50;
4bool isMarried = false;

xxxxxxxxxx
}
 
using System;
​
namespace DataTypesExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Declaring and Initializing Variables
            int age = 30;
            string name = "John Doe";
            double salary = 50000.50;
            bool isMarried = false;
​
            // Outputting Variables
            Console.WriteLine("Name: " + name);
            Console.WriteLine("Age: " + age);
            Console.WriteLine("Salary: " + salary);
            Console.WriteLine("Married: " + isMarried);
​
            // Data Type Conversion
            int num1 = 10;
            double num2 = 5.5;
​
            // Implicit Conversion
            double result1 = num1;
            Console.WriteLine("Implicit Conversion: " + result1);
​
            // Explicit Conversion
