In C#, the UInt32 struct represents a 32-bit unsigned integer (commonly referred to as the uint data type). It is defined in the System namespace and provides various methods for mathematical computations, parsing, and type conversion. Because of it is an unsigned type, it only holds non-negative values.
- Range: UInt32 ranges from 0 to 4,294,967,295.
- Bitwise Operations: It supports bitwise operations like AND (&), OR (|), XOR (^), NOT (~), and shifts (<<, >>).
- Convert and Math Class Compatibility: It works with methods from the Convert and Math classes for operations like rounding, absolute value, and power calculations.
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: Using MaxValue and MinValue Fields
// C# program to demonstrate the
// fields of UInt32 struct
using System;
class Geeks
{
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: Using GetHashCode() Method
// C# program to illustrate GetHashCode() method
using System;
class Geeks
{
static public void Main()
{
// UInt32 variable
uint val = 33453242;
// Get the hash code
int res = val.GetHashCode();
Console.WriteLine("The hash code of val is: {0}", res);
}
}
Output
The hash code of val is: 33453242
