C# Programming Questions and Answers - Integer Data Types

1. How many Bytes are stored by ‘Long’ Data type in C# .net?
a) 8
b) 4
c) 2
d) 1

  Discussion

Answer: a
Explanation: ‘Long’ is the data type keyword used for storing data of unlimited length so by definition its size is always maximum i.e 8.

2. Choose “.NET class” name from which data type “UInt” is derived?
a) System.Int16
b) System.UInt32
c) System.UInt64
d) System.UInt16

  Discussion

Answer: b
Explanation: By Definition class assigned to
i) System.Int16 = short.
ii) System.UInt32 = UInt.
iii) System.UInt64 = ULong.
iv) System.UInt16 = UShort.

3. Correct Declaration of Values to variables ‘a’ and ‘b’?
a) int a = 32, b = 40.6;
b) int a = 42; b = 40;
c) int a = 32; int b = 40;
d) int a = b = 42;

  Discussion

Answer: c
Explanation: i) Although, declaration of ‘b’ and ‘a’ are correct but initialization of value to ‘b’ should be ‘int’ data type not float.
ii) Missing declaration type of ‘b’.
iii) correctly declared data types ‘a’ and ‘b’.
iv) ‘b’ can’t be assigned values before declaration.

4. What will be the error in the following C# code?
Static Void Main(String[] args)
{
const int m = 100;
int n = 10;
const int k = n / 5 * 100 * n ;
Console.WriteLine(m * k);
Console.ReadLine();
}
a) ‘k’ should not be declared constant
b) Expression assigned to ‘k’ should be constant in nature
c) Expression (m * k) is invalid
d) ‘m ‘ is declared in invalid format

  Discussion

Answer: b
Explanation: ’k’ should be declared as const int k = 10/5 * 100*10 i.e only constant values should be assigned to a constant.

5. Arrange the following data type in order of increasing magnitude sbyte, short, long, int.
a) long < short < int < sbyte
b) sbyte < short < int < long
c) short < sbyte < int < long
d) short < int < sbyte < long

  Discussion

Answer: b
Explanation: By definition.

6. Which data type should be more preferred for storing a simple number like 35 to improve execution speed of a program?
a) sbyte
b) short
c) int
d) long

  Discussion

Answer: a
Explanation: Wider data type like int, long takes more time for manipulation of a program.

7. Which Conversion function of ‘Convert.TOInt32()’ and ‘Int32.Parse()’ is efficient?
i) Int32.Parse() is only used for strings and throws argument exception for null string
ii) Convert.Int32() used for data types and returns directly '0' for null string
a) ii
b) Both i, ii
c) i
d) None of the mentioned

  Discussion

Answer: a
Explanation: Convenient for every data type so mostly preferred.

8. Correct way to assign values to variable ‘c’ when int a=12, float b=3.5, int c;
a) c = a + b;
b) c = a + int(float(b));
c) c = a + convert.ToInt32(b);
d) c = int(a + b);

  Discussion

Answer: c
Explanation: c = a + convert.ToInt32(b);

9. Default Type of number without decimal is?
a) Long Int
b) Unsigned Long
c) Int
d) Unsigned Int

  Discussion

Answer: c
Explanation: By definition.

10. What will be the output of the following C# code?
static void Main(string[] args)
{
float a = 10.553f;
long b = 12L;
int c;
c = Convert.ToInt32(a + b);
Console.WriteLine(c);
}
a) 23.453
b) 22
c) 23
d) 22.453

  Discussion

Answer: c
Explanation: The two data type ‘float’ and ‘long’ after arithmetic operation completely converted to nearest whole number 23.
