How to declare number in C#?

Question

In as3 I'd say

public var time:Number;

How to declare such in C#?

Answer 1

public long time;

This will create a new variable with the type long and the default value. (0)

Answer 2

public decimal time;

decimal depending of course on the type you want.

Answer 3

C# has a a DateTime data type, so for dates I would create a variable like this:

public DateTime time;

This lets you do things like subtract dates, and make use of the TimeSpan structure.

Answer 4

See "Types".

You probably want an int, long, float, double, decimal - or maybe DateTime or TimeSpan.

Answer 5

Depending on the type you want:

public double time;

or you could use the DateTime struct provided by .NET

public DateTime time;

or really, you would probably want to create auto-properties for these like this:

public double Time {get;set;}

or

public DateTime Time {get;set;}
