int literals are defined by simply using integral values within the range of int: int i = 5;

uint literals are defined by using the suffix U or u, or by using an integral values within the range of uint: uint ui = 5U;

string literals are defined by wrapping the value with double-quotes ": string s = "hello, this is a string literal"; String literals may contain escape sequences. See String Escape Sequences Additionally, C# supports verbatim string literals (See Verbatim Strings). These are def...

char literals are defined by wrapping the value with single-quotes ': char c = 'h'; Character literals may contain escape sequences. See String Escape Sequences A character literal must be exactly one character long (after all escape sequences have been evaluated). Empty character literals are ...
