Declaration suffix for decimal type

Hey everyone,

In the following snippet of code; RewardValue is a decimal:

dto.RewardValue = 1.5; 

Now, this gives me the following error:

"Cannot convert source type double to target type decimal"

Makes sense, and is easily fixable by changing that line of code to this:

dto.RewardValue = 1.5m; 

Now, the "m" converts that to a decimal and all is good.

Does anybody know of somewhere where I could find a list of all those "m" type operators? (and if you could let me know what the proper term for those are, it would be greatly appreciated)

EDIT: Thanks to HCL and MartyIX for letting me know that these are referred to as "suffixes"

Answer 1

I believe the term you're looking for is "suffix".

Examples:

1;    // int 1.0;  // double 1.0f; // float 1.0m; // decimal 1u;   // uint 1L;   // long 1UL;  // ulong 

Answer 2

It's a pretty small list, really.

F:  float D:  double U:  uint L:  long UL: ulong M:  decimal 

Of course a plain integral value by itself is interpreted as an int, unless it's too big to be an int in which case it's a long, unless it's too big for a long in which case it's a ulong. If it's too big for a ulong, you can't use it as a literal (as far as I know).

A value with a decimal point in it is automatically interpreted (as you found out for yourself) as a double.
