The following table shows the sizes and ranges of the integral types, which constitute a subset of simple types.

Type	Range	Size
sbyte	-128 to 127	Signed 8-bit integer
byte	0 to 255	Unsigned 8-bit integer
char	U+0000 to U+ffff	Unicode 16-bit character
short	-32,768 to 32,767	Signed 16-bit integer
ushort	0 to 65,535	Unsigned 16-bit integer
int	-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647	Signed 32-bit integer
uint	0 to 4,294,967,295	Unsigned 32-bit integer
long	-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807	Signed 64-bit integer
ulong	0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615	Unsigned 64-bit integer

If the value represented by an integer literal exceeds the range of ulong, a compilation error will occur.
