 WHAT IS VARIABLE?
• A typical program uses various values that change during its
execution.
• When a user enters a new value that will be used in the process of
calculation, we can preserve it (temporarily) in the random access
memory of our computer.
• The values in this part of memory change (vary) throughout
execution and this has led to their name – variables.

 WHAT IS VARIABLE?
• A variable is an item of data used to store state of objects.
• A variable has a data type and a name. The data type indicates the
type of value that the variable can hold. The variable name must
follow rules for identifiers.

 DATA TYPES
Are sets (ranges) of values that have similar characteristics.

Data types are characterized by:

• Name – for example, int;
• Size (how much memory they use) – for example, 4 bytes;
• Default value – for example 0.

 TYPES
Basic data types in C# are distributed into the
following types:
• Integer types – sbyte, byte, short, ushort, int, uint, long,
ulong;
• Real floating - point types – float, double;
• Real type with decimal precision – decimal;
• Boolean type – bool;
• Character type – char;
• String – string;
• Object type – object.
• These data types are called primitive (built-in types)

 INTEGER TYPES
Integer types represent integer numbers and are
• sbyte,
• byte,
• short,
• ushort,
• int,
• uint,
• long and
• ulong

 INTEGER TYPES
Signed Integral
• These data types hold integer values (both positive and negative).
• Out of the total available bits, one bit is used for sign.

 FLOATING POINT
These data types hold floating point values i.e., numbers
containing decimal values.
float

 FLOATING POINT
Double-precision floating point type.
Double

08/07/2023 COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 16

 DECIMAL
Decimal type has more precision and a smaller range as compared to
floating point types (double and float). So, it is appropriate for
monetary calculations.

 CHARACTER (CHAR)
It represents a 16-bit Unicode character.

 BOOLEAN
• Boolean data type has two possible values: true or false
• Default value: false

 OPERATORS
Operators allow processing of primitive data types and objects. They take
as an input one or more operands and return some value as a result.

MODULUS (%)
• The modulus operator - or more precisely, the modulo operation - is a
way to determine the remainder of a division operation.

 ARITHMETIC
• Write a C# program that will calculate the sum and product. Find the
difference of the first and last number. After that, calculate the its average.

Expected output:
The sum of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9 and 10 is: 55
The product of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9 and 10 is: 3,628,800
--------------------------------------------------
The difference of 1 and 9 is: -8
--------------------------------------------------
The average is: 5.5
