Write a C# Sharp program to determine the type of a particular object.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;

public class Example27
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Array containing different data types
        object[] values = { (int)24, (long)10653, (byte)24, (sbyte)-5, 26.3, "string" };

        // Loop through each value in the 'values' array
        foreach (var value in values)
        {
            // Get the type of the current value
            Type t = value.GetType();

            // Check the type and print the corresponding message
            if (t.Equals(typeof(byte)))
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is an unsigned byte.", value);
            else if (t.Equals(typeof(sbyte)))
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is a signed byte.", value);
            else if (t.Equals(typeof(int)))
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is a 32-bit integer.", value);
            else if (t.Equals(typeof(long)))
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is a 64-bit integer.", value); // Fix: Corrected the comment to indicate 64-bit integer
            else if (t.Equals(typeof(double)))
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is a double-precision floating point.", value);
            else
                Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is another data type.", value);
        }
    }
}

Sample Output:

24 is a 32-bit integer.                                                                                       
10653 is a 32-bit integer.                                                                                    
24 is an unsigned byte.                                                                                       
-5 is a signed byte.                                                                                          
26.3 is a double-precision floating point.                                                                    
'string' is another data type.
