Tag: C# non primitive types

Primitive data types are predefined data types such as Byte, SByte, Boolean, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Char, Double, Int64, UInt64, Single, etc. Whereas non-primitive data types are user-defined data types such as enum, class, etc.

In the Java type system, there are three further categories of primitives:

There are 7 primitive data types: string, number, bigint, boolean, undefined, symbol, and null . Most of the time, a primitive value is represented directly at the lowest level of the language implementation. All primitives are immutable, i.e., they cannot be altered.

Primitive data types – includes byte , short , int , long , float , double , boolean and char . Non-primitive data types – such as String , Arrays and Classes (you will learn more about these in a later chapter)
