Why does Int64.MaxValue return Long?

Question

Wow, ironic , during the game today I wondered if there was any way to increase Int64.MaxValue and had just founded Int64.MaxValue not Int64, but Long.

Why is this so, does it mean, if I store as Int64 myInt = Int64.MaxValue;, than myInt will still be Int or it will become long, what is the purpose of the Long storage instead of Int64in this field.

Answer 1

Because Int64 and long are of the same type.

Int64 = long    
Int32 = int    
Int16 = short

Answer 2

long is synonymous Int64
