What is the type?> there's no difference in current version of CLR Just a pedantic point; the CLR doesn't get to choose here - it is the *language* that defines both the "long" keyword and the conversion rules that it chooses to follow (and how to implement them). And "long" is /defined/ as an alias to global::System.Int64, so we should be OK for the time being... http://ayende.com/4493/riddle-me-this-what-is-the-type#comment11http://ayende.com/4493/riddle-me-this-what-is-the-type#comment11Mon, 10 May 2010 12:39:59 GMTKaare Skovgaard commented on Riddle me this?

What is the type?Since an implicit conversion exists from int32 to int64 and not vice versa, the type of this expression is int64.

What is the type?It's long; the second part of the expression is automatically converted, which makes the conditional unnecessary. http://ayende.com/4493/riddle-me-this-what-is-the-type#comment7http://ayende.com/4493/riddle-me-this-what-is-the-type#comment7Sun, 09 May 2010 13:47:09 GMTStefan Wenig commented on Riddle me this? What is the type?only if you remove the extra semicolon. sorry, I was just nitpicking. http://ayende.com/4493/riddle-me-this-what-is-the-type#comment6http://ayende.com/4493/riddle-me-this-what-is-the-type#comment6Sun, 09 May 2010 13:44:52 GMTAyende Rahien commented on Riddle me this? What is the type?Stefan, This is an expression. As a proof of that, you can put that thing in a 3.5 linq expression (which doesn't support statements). http://ayende.com/4493/riddle-me-this-what-is-the-type#comment5http://ayende.com/4493/riddle-me-this-what-is-the-type#comment5Sun, 09 May 2010 12:41:55 GMTtobi commented on Riddle me this?
