Last Updated :

Int16: This Struct is used to represents 16-bit signed integer. The Int16 can store both types of values including negative and positive between the ranges of -32768 to +32767.
Example :
C#
using System;
using System.Text;
public
class GFG {
static void Main( string [] args) {
Console.WriteLine( "Minimum value of Int16: "
+ Int16.MinValue);
Console.WriteLine( "Maximum value of Int16: "
+ Int16.MaxValue);
Console.WriteLine();
Int16[] arr1 = {-3, 0, 1, 3, 7};
foreach (Int16 i in arr1)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}
}
|
Output:
Minimum value of Int16: -32768
Maximum value of Int16: 32767
-3
0
1
3
7
UInt16: This Struct is used to represents 16-bit unsigned integer. The UInt16 can store only positive value only which ranges from 0 to 65535.
Example :
C#
using System;
using System.Text;
public class GFG{
static void Main( string [] args)
{
Console.WriteLine( "Minimum value of UInt16: "
+ UInt16.MinValue);
Console.WriteLine( "Maximum value of UInt16: "
+ UInt16.MaxValue);
Console.WriteLine();
UInt16[] arr1 = { 13, 0, 1, 3, 7};
foreach (UInt16 i in arr1)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}
}

Output:
Minimum value of UInt16: 0
Maximum value of UInt16: 65535
