Hi Surya, C# compiler will show an error for the second statement as it is not syntactically correct. We cannnot assign multiple values in a single value type variable. int i=2,4; it will give an erro like the following Error 1 Identifier expected c:\users\rajarshi\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\WindowsFormsApplication1\WindowsFormsApplication1\Form1.cs 23 21 WindowsFormsApplication1 So what we can do is that we can use an array,structure or collection class to hold multiple values. If you find my post as useful please mark it as an answer

The second statement: int i = 2,4; is illegal because you can't assign two integer values to the integer variable 'i' at the same time. However, you could do this: int i = 2; i = 4; // value of i changed to 4 // or declare and initialize two variables in the same statement: int i = 2, j = 4;
