  • 0

According to Eric “a type in C# is a mathematical entity that obeys certain algebraic rules”.

Now the question is what is “public” keyword in c# (besides the usage that public is a keyword used on class , field and delegate by which there accessibility for outside world is defined as accessible) ?

Similar questions can go like what is “var” key word , is it a type in c# of some type?

If they are type then what algebraic rules do they follow ?

EDIT : May be this question is misinterpreted and I got ban on posting the question.
Looking forward for someone to lift the ban.
I was confused when I read “Everything is type in any language”

Thanks.

    public is really just an access modifier used, as you already know, on classes, fields etc.

    The var keyword on the other hand is a shortcut for “whatever type the statement on the right returns”. This is really just compiler candy, as it will be resolved to a concrete type (e.g. Int32) during compilation.

    EDIT: If you are interested in what is a type and what is not, then you might want to have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3ewxz6et.aspx. It will answer the first part of the question explicitly.
