C# | Print Type, Max, and Min Value of Various Data Types

Here, we are going to learn about the various types of data types in C#. In this example, we will print type of the data types, their min values and max values. By Pankaj Singh Last updated : April 15, 2023

Getting Type, Max, and Min Value of Different Data Types

In the below example – we are printing types, min value, max value of various data types in C#, like integer data types, floating point data types, Boolean data type, Reference types, Nullable types.

C# program to get type, max, and min value of different data types

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
