Congratulations! In this lesson, you learned about how data types and variables work in C#. Topics covered include:

  • C# built-in data types, including int, double, char, string, and bool
  • How to create, name, and use variables
  • Common errors you might encounter
  • Converting data types from one to another

For more information on using types and declaring variables, check out Microsoft’s C# documentation.

Want to keep track of the different data types? Download this handy cheatsheet.

Now that you know a few things about variables and data types, try writing a program that:

  • Converts a boolean to a string
  • Changes a string to a list of chars
  • Converts a data type we didn’t cover to another data type!
