C# | Char.GetTypeCode() Method with Examples

This method is used to return the TypeCode for value type Char.

Syntax:

public TypeCode GetTypeCode ();

Return Value: This method returns the enumerated constant, Char.
Below programs illustrate the use of Char.GetTypeCode() Method:
Example 1:

csharp

// C# program to demonstrate
// Char.GetTypeCode() Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Declaring val1 and val2
        char val1;
        bool val2;

        // initializing the
        // val1 and val2
        val1 = 'A';
        val2 = true;

        // getting TypeCode
        // using GetTypeCode() method
        TypeCode t1 = val1.GetTypeCode();
        TypeCode t2 = val2.GetTypeCode();

        // Display TypeCode
        Console.WriteLine("TypeCode of val1 is {0}", t1);
        Console.WriteLine("TypeCode of val2 is {0}", t2);
    }
}

Output:

TypeCode of val1 is Char
TypeCode of val2 is Boolean

Example 2:

csharp

// C# program to demonstrate
// Char.GetTypeCode() Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Declaring val1 and val2
        char val1;
        float val2;

        // initializing the
        // val1 and val2
        val1 = 'a';
        val2 = 20f;

        // calling get() method
        get(val1);
        get(val2);
    }

    // Defining the get() method
    public static void get(char val)
    {

        // getting TypeCode
        // using GetTypeCode() method
        TypeCode t = val.GetTypeCode();

        // Display the TypeCode
        Console.WriteLine("TypeCode of {0} is {1}",
                                          val, t);
    }

    public static void get(float val)
    {

        // getting TypeCode
        // using GetTypeCode() method
        TypeCode t = val.GetTypeCode();

        // Display the TypeCode
        Console.WriteLine("TypeCode of {0} is {1}",
                                            val, t);
    }
}

Output:

TypeCode of a is Char
TypeCode of 20 is Single
