Is an int a 64-bit integer in 64-bit C#?
32-bit, 64-bit, c#, primitive
Solution
No. The C# specification rigidly defines that `int` is an alias for `System.Int32` with exactly 32 bits. Changing this would be a major breaking change.
Problem
In my C# source code I may have declared integers as: ``` int i = 5; ``` or ``` Int32 i = 5; ``` In the currently prevalent 32-bit world they are equivalent. However, as we move into a 64-bit world, am I correct in saying that the following will become the same? ``` int i = 5; Int64 i = 5; ```
