C# UInt16 Struct
In C#, the UInt16 struct, defined under the System namespace, represents a 16-bit unsigned integer, commonly referred to as the ushort data type. It does not support negative values and provides a range from 0 to 65,535. The UInt16 struct inherits the ValueType class, which further inherits the Object class.
- UInt16 Range: It ranges from 0 to 65535.
- Operations: Converting the value of an instance to its string representation, converting a string representation of a number to an instance.
- This is useful when the need to store unsigned values does not allocate space for negative values, it provides a higher range.
Fields
- MaxValue: It represents the largest possible value of UInt16. This field is constant.
- MinValue: It represents the smallest possible value of UInt16. This field is constant
Example:
// C# program to illustrate the fields of UInt16 struct
using System;
class Geeks
{
static public void Main()
{
// Unsigned 16-bit integer
ushort val = 295;
// Checking the unsigned integer
if (val.Equals(UInt16.MinValue))
Console.WriteLine("Equal to MinValue..!");
else if (val.Equals(UInt16.MaxValue))
Console.WriteLine("Equal to MaxValue");
else
Console.WriteLine("Not equal");
}
}
Output
Not equal
Methods
Method | Description |
|---|---|
Compares the current instance to a specified object or UInt16 and returns an indication of their relative values. | |
Returns a value which shows whether the current instance is equal to a specified object or UInt16. | |
Returns the hash code for this instance. | |
Returns the TypeCode for value type UInt16. | |
Parse() | Converts the string representation of a number to its 16-bit unsigned integer equivalent |
| Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation. | |
TryParse() | Converts a number in string form to a 16-bit unsigned integer, indicating success or failure. |
Example: Using GetHashCode() Method
// C# program to illustrate how to get the hash
// code of a 16-bit Unsigned integer
using System;
class Geeks
{
static public void Main()
{
// UInt16 variable
ushort val = 545;
// Get the hash code using GetHashCode Method
int res = val.GetHashCode();
Console.WriteLine("Hash code of val: {0}", res);
}
}
Output
Hash code of val: 545
