The C# Type System

Harness the power of the C# type system to write programs that are clearer, simpler, and more efficient.

The type system is the foundation upon which all C# programs are built. The C# Type System will show you how todefine and implement value types effectively, and write more performant and robust code. Real-world code examplesand test cases throughout will elevate your programming with C# and show you how best to implement the principlesyou're learning.

Among the core aspects of working with the type system, you'll learn:

How user-defined value types, and even simple types, can enhance your code's readability
How reference and value types differ within C#
How method parameters and arguments relate to reference and value types
How differences in copy semantics between value and reference types affect a program's behavior
How the different methods of value comparisons for equality work behind the scenes
The unique characteristics and roles of various types in an application, especially how value types go beyond meredata storage
Why inheritance isn't optimal for value types
How to measure and evaluate the performance of an app's use of different data types

Whether you're a novice or seasoned programmer, you'll find The C# Type System indispensable in your efforts to turngood code into great.
