Difference between long and int in C#?

Question

What is the actual difference between a long and an int in C#? I understand that in C/C++ long would be 64bit on some 64bit platforms(depending on OS o

Answer 1

Sure is a difference - In C#, a long is a 64 bit signed integer, an int is a 32 bit signed integer, and that's the way it always will always be.

So in C#, a long can hold an int, but an int cannot hold a long.

C/C++ that question is platform dependent.
