In C# has a number of built in types called primitive data type.
Most commonly used primitive data types are.

1. Int
* The Int data type hold whole numbers
* The Size (bits) = 32
* Range–2³¹through 2³¹ -1

2. Long
* The Long data type hold whole number; the number beiger than Int but it requires more memory.
* The size (bits) = 64
* Range–2⁶³through 2⁶³ -1

3. Float
* The Float data type hold Flouting point number (ie) the number containing decimal point.
* The Size (bits) = 32
* Range ± 3.4 * 1038

4. Double
* The Double data type hold the values to twice the precision of float.
* The Size (bits) = 64
* Range ± 1.7 * 10308

5. Decimal
* The Decimal data type hold values to 28 significant figures.
* The Size (bits) = 128
* Range 28 significant figures.

6. String
* The String data type hold sequences of characters.
* The Size (bits) 16 bits per character.
* Range N/A

7. Char
* The Char data type hold single character
* The Size (bits) = 16
* Range 0 through 2 ¹⁶-1

8. Bool
* The Bool data type hold either true or false.
* The Size (bits) = 8
* Range True or False.
