C# | UInt32 Struct

In C#, UInt32 struct is used to represent 32-bit unsigned integers(also termed as uint data type) starting from range 0 to 4,294,967,295. It also provides different types of methods to compare instances of this type, convert the value of an instance to its String representation, convert the String representation of a number to an instance of this type, etc. This struct is defined under System namespace. UInt32 struct inherits the ValueType class which inherits the Object class.

Fields

Field	Description
MaxValue	Represents the largest possible value of UInt32. This field is constant.
MinValue	Represents the smallest possible value of UInt32. This field is constant.

Example:

// C# program to illustrate the
// fields of UInt32 struct
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    static public void Main()
    {

        // Unsigned 32-bit integer
        uint val = 4294967295;

        // Checking the unsigned integer
        if (val.Equals(UInt32.MinValue))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Equal to MinValue!");
        }

        else if (val.Equals(UInt32.MaxValue))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Equal to MaxValue!");
        }
        else {
            Console.WriteLine("Not Equal!");
        }
    }
}

Output:

Equal to MaxValue!

Methods

Method	Description
CompareTo()	Compares the current instance to a specified object or UInt32 and returns an indication of their relative values.
Equals()	Returns a value which shows whether the current instance is equal to a specified object or UInt32.
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code for this instance.
GetTypeCode()	Returns the TypeCode for value type UInt32.
Parse()	Converts the string representation of a number to its 32-bit unsigned integer equivalent.
ToString()	Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation.
TryParse()	Tries to convert the string representation of a number to its 32-bit unsigned integer equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

Example:

// C# program to illustrate how to get the
// hash code of the 32-bit Unsigned integer
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    static public void Main()
    {

        // UInt32 variable
        uint myval = 33453242;

        // Get the hash code
        // Using GetHashCode Method
        int res = myval.GetHashCode();
        Console.WriteLine("The hash code of myval is: {0}", res);
    }
}

Output:

The hash code of myval is: 33453242
