.NET Core supports the quality numeric integral and floating-point primitives. It additionally supports the following types −
- System.Numerics.BigInteger which is an integral type with no upper or lower bound.
- System.Numerics.Complex is a type that represents complex numbers.
- A set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD)-enabled vector types in the System.Numerics namespace.
Integral types
Dot NET supports each signed and unsigned integers of various ranges from one byte to eight bytes in length. All integers are value types.
| Type | Signed/ Unsigned | Size (bytes) | Minimum Value | Maximum Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Byte | Unsigned | 1 | 0 | 255 |
| Int16 | Signed | 2 | −32,768 | 32,767 |
| Int32 | Signed | 4 | −2,147,483,648 | 2,147,483,647 |
| Int64 | Signed | 8 | −9,223,372,036,854,775,808 | 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 |
| SByte | Signed | 1 | -128 | 127 |
| UInt16 | Unsigned | 2 | 0 | 65,535 |
| UInt32 | Unsigned | 4 | 0 | 4,294,967,295 |
| UInt64 | Unsigned | 8 | 0 | 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 |
Floating-point types
Dot NET add three primitive floating point types, which are shown in the below table.
| Type | Size (bytes) | Minimum Value | Maximum Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double | 8 | −1.79769313486232e308 | 1.79769313486232e308 |
| Single | 4 | −3.402823e38 | 3.402823e38 |
| Decimal | 16 | −79,228,162,514,264,337,593,5 43,950,335 | 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,9 50,335 |
