C Sharp (C#) Short and ushort datatypes

The short and ushort datatypes that are used in C# are similar to int. The only difference between them is the range thats supported. Short supports from –32,768 to 32,767 and ushort supports from 0 to 65,535.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            short num1 = 20000;

            short num2 = 20000;

            short num3 = (short)(num1 + num2);

            Console.WriteLine("The addition of num1 and num2 is : {0}", num3);

            Console.ReadLine();

            //Here the numbers that can be accommodated by ushort but not by short.

            ushort num4 = 20000;

            ushort num5 = 20000;

            ushort num6 = (ushort)(num4 + num5);

            Console.WriteLine("The addition of num4 and num5 is : {0}", num6);

            Console.ReadLine();           

        }

    }
