How to literally define an array of decimals without multiple casting?

Question

How can I define an array of decimals without explicitly casting each one?

//decimal[] prices = { 39.99, 29.99, 29.99, 19.99, 49.99 }; //can't convert double to decimal
//var prices = { 39.99, 29.99, 29.99, 19.99, 49.99 }; //can't initialize... 
decimal[] prices = { (decimal)39.99, (decimal)29.99, (decimal)29.99, (decimal)19.99, (decimal)49.99 };

Answer 1

You need to add an M to the end

Answer 2

Use the m suffix.

decimal[] prices = { 39.99m, 29.99m, 19.99m, 49.99m };

Without the m (or M) suffix, the compiler treats it as a double.

Answer 3

A decimal literal is 39.99m
