how to cast variables using letters

[Abraham Andres Luna]

hello everyone,

i seen some code that declared a float like this:

float f = 0.5F;

is there a chart somewhere that oulines all the letters for the data types.
i'm not sure what keyword to even search for.

thanks for your help.

The letter is called a "literal suffix".

I don't know if there's a table for them, but you can find them in the
specs:

Abraham

It is part of the c# language specification. They can be found in section
9.4.4 Literals.

Here is a link that I found for online specs

http://www.jaggersoft.com/csharp_standard/9.4.4.htm

click on the different types of literals and look for literal sufixes.

Abraham,

If you are talking about Int16 then no there is no suffix for that. Just
type the number. As a matter of fact if you put suffix it wont compile.
