Keywords are the words in a language that are used for some internal process or represent some predefined actions. short is a keyword that is used to declare a variable which can store a signed integer value from the range -32, 768 to 32, 767. It is an alias of System.Int16.
Syntax:
short variable_name = value;
short keyword occupies 2 bytes (16 bits) space in the memory.
Example:
Input: num: 2
Output: num: 2
Size of a short variable: 2
Input: num = 20200
Output: num: 20200
Type of num: System.Int16
Size of a short variable: 2
Example 1:
using System;
using System.Text;
class Prog {
static void Main( string [] args)
{
short num = 2;
Console.WriteLine( "num: " + num);
Console.WriteLine( "Size of a short variable: " + sizeof ( short ));
}
}
|
Output:
num: 2
Size of a short variable: 2
Example 2:
using System;
using System.Text;
namespace Test {
class Prog {
static void Main( string [] args)
{
short num = 20200;
Console.WriteLine( "num: " + num);
Console.WriteLine( "Type of num: " + num.GetType());
Console.WriteLine( "Size of a short variable: " + sizeof ( short ));
Console.WriteLine( "Min value of short: " + short .MinValue);
Console.WriteLine( "Max value of short: " + short .MaxValue);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Output:
num: 20200
Type of num: System.Int16
Size of a short variable: 2
Min value of short: -32768
Max value of short: 32767
