storing data in variables

Question

User364607740 posted

I have to store value between 0-100. Which data type will be optimized int or int16 or int 32 or int64? Now I have to store the value from this operation

(Convert.ToInt32(grnd_ttl) * 100.00) / 800.00;

The value of the above operation should have only two decimal places eg. 45.28 , 78.96, 88.26... what type of variable should I use to store double or decimal or float?

Hi scala_1988,

Generally speaking , int64's number range is wider than int32 and int32's number ranger is wider than int.

Decimal has  higher precision than double and double has higher precision than float.
