Stackoverflow has become a go-to resource for programming questions or discussions that I like to follow. One discussion that I stumbled on was the difference between String and string in C#.
According to the thread, String stands for System.String and is a .NET Framework type. string is an alias in the C# language for System.String. Both of them are compiled to System.String in IL (Intermediate Language), so there is no difference.
Here are some other aliases:
- object: System.Object
- string: System.String
- bool: System.Boolean
- byte: System.Byte
- sbyte: System.SByte
- short: System.Int16
- ushort: System.UInt16
- int: System.Int32
- uint: System.UInt32
- long: System.Int64
- ulong: System.UInt64
- float: System.Single
- double: System.Double
- decimal: System.Decimal
- char: System.Char
