Basic types
This topic lists the basic types that are defined in F#. These types are the most fundamental in F#, forming the basis of nearly every F# program. They are a superset of .NET primitive types.
Type | .NET type | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|
bool |
Boolean | Possible values are true and false . |
true /false |
byte |
Byte | Values from 0 to 255. | 1uy |
sbyte |
SByte | Values from -128 to 127. | 1y |
int16 |
Int16 | Values from -32768 to 32767. | 1s |
uint16 |
UInt16 | Values from 0 to 65535. | 1us |
int |
Int32 | Values from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. | 1 |
uint |
UInt32 | Values from 0 to 4,294,967,295. | 1u |
int64 |
Int64 | Values from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. | 1L |
uint64 |
UInt64 | Values from 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615. | 1UL |
nativeint |
IntPtr | A native pointer as a signed integer. | nativeint 1 |
unativeint |
UIntPtr | A native pointer as an unsigned integer. | unativeint 1 |
decimal |
Decimal | A floating point data type that has at least 28 significant digits. | 1.0m |
float , double |
Double | A 64-bit floating point type. | 1.0 |
float32 , single |
Single | A 32-bit floating point type. | 1.0f |
char |
Char | Unicode character values. | 'c' |
string |
String | Unicode text. | "str" |
unit |
not applicable | Indicates the absence of an actual value. The type has only one formal value, which is denoted () . The unit value, () , is often used as a placeholder where a value is needed but no real value is available or makes sense. |
() |
Note
You can perform computations with integers too big for the 64-bit integer type by using the bigint
type. bigint
is not considered a basic type; it is an abbreviation for System.Numerics.BigInteger
.
