The int keyword refers to the "integer" data type which basically represents the integer numbers.

In the last section we learnt the following syntax for declaring a variable:

var variableName = value;

Apart from the above syntax, there is another method of variable declaration:

Here type refers to the data type of the variable. So far, we know only int. We can declare a variable of integer data type in the following way:

int myVariable = 10;

In this case, we can also declare a variable without giving it an initial value:

int myVariable;

Note

Giving an initial value to a variable at the time of declaration is called initialization.

The var keyword allows the compiler to automatically infer the datatype of a variable based on the assigned value. For instance, in var myVariable = 7;, the variable myVariable is assigned an integer value, making its data type int. Such a variable is called an Implicitly-Typed Variable.

Note

When using the var keyword, the variable must always be initialized as well, therefore writing var myVariable; is invalid.

On the other hand, manually specifying the datatype doesn't require an initial value. Therefore, both int myVariable; and int myVariable = 10; are valid statements. In this case, myVariable is an Explicitly-Typed Variable.

The following code summarizes the above two paragraphs:

main.cs


              12345
            
var myVar1 = 10; // Valid
var myVar2; // Error: Implicitly-typed variables must be initialized

int myVar3 = 10; // Valid
int myVar4; // Valid

It is important to note that we cannot use a variable that hasn't been assigned any value. Therefore the following code will give an ERROR:

main.cs


              12
            
int myVar;
System.Console.WriteLine(myVar); // Error: Use of unassigned local variable 'myVar'

Correction:

main.cs


              123
            
int myVar;
myVar = 10;
System.Console.WriteLine(myVar); // Output: 10

We can reassign a variable as many times as we want:

main.cs


              12345678
            
int myVar = 10;
System.Console.WriteLine(myVar); // Output: 10
myVar = 15;
System.Console.WriteLine(myVar); // Output: 15
myVar = 17;
System.Console.WriteLine(myVar); // Output: 17
myVar = 7;
System.Console.WriteLine(myVar); // Output: 7

An int variable can only store values within a certain range. There is another datatype long which is the same as int however it can store bigger numbers.

Storing a bigger number than a data type can hold might give unexpected results.

We can perform arithmetic operations on int and long data. The following snippet of code shows some examples:

main.cs


              1234567891011121314151617181920
            
// int values
int a = 10;
int b = 25;
int c = a + b;

// long values
long d = 1000;
long e = 2500;
long f = d + e;

// Adding a 'long' and an 'int' always results in a 'long' resultant value.
// Therefore we can store the result of 'd + a' into a new 'long' variable called 'g'.
long g = d + a;

// For the same reason, we cannot store the result of 'd + a' into an 'int' variable
int h = d + a; // Error on this line

int i = 5 / 2;
System.Console.WriteLine(i); // Output: 2
// Dividing 5 by 2 gives 2.5 however since 'int' can only store integer values, hence the decimal (0.5) part is ignored.

There are two other data types uint and ulong, called unsigned int and unsigned long respectively. An unsigned data type can only hold positive numbers, consequently they have a bigger positive range.
