Next, we dove into the details of the built-in data types of C#, and came to understand that

each data type keyword (e.g., int) is really a shorthand notation for a full-blown type in the System

namespace (System.Int32 in this case). Given this, each C# data type has a number of built-in

members. Along the same vein, you also learned about the role of 

widening and narrowing as well

as the role of the checked and unchecked keywords.

We wrapped up by checking out the various iteration and decision constructs supported by C#.

Now that you have an understanding of some of the basic nuts and bolts, the next chapter com-

pletes our examination of core language features. After this point, you will be well prepared to

examine the object-oriented features of C#.
