How to specify a short int literal without casting?

Question

Is there a way to specify that my variable is a short int? I am looking for something similar to M suffix for decimals. For decimals, I do not have to say

va         


        

Answer 1

There is no suffix for the short data type in C#. If you want an integer literal to be a short, you need to explicitly state the type and provide a literal that is in range.

short s = 123;
