Introduction

All type instances have a default value.

The default value for the predefined types is the result of a bitwise zeroing of memory:

TypeDefault value
All reference types null
All numeric and enum types 0
char type '\0'
bool type false

The default value in a custom value type (i.e., struct) is the same as the default value for each field defined by the custom type.

You can obtain the default value for any type with the default keyword:

Demo Code

using System;/* www . j a va2 s  . co m*/
class Test
{
   static void Main(){
      decimal d = default (decimal);
      Console.WriteLine (d);
   }
}
