GetTypeCode() method is used to get the TypeCode of the specified string.
Here TypeCode enum represents a specific type of object. In TypeCode every data type is represented by a specific number like String is represented by 18, Int32 is represented by 9, etc.
Syntax:
public TypeCode GetTypeCode ();
Return value: This method return an enumerated constant.
Below given are some examples to understand the implementation in a better way:
Example 1:
// C# program to illustrate the // GetTypeCode() Method using System;
class GFG {
// Main method
public static void Main()
{
// variables
string str1 = "Geeksforgeeks" ;
int a = 12;
// get the TypeCode by
// using GetTypeCode() method
Console.WriteLine( "The TypeCode for {0}': {1}" ,
str1, str1.GetTypeCode());
Console.WriteLine( "The TypeCode for '{0}': {1}" ,
a, a.GetTypeCode());
}
} |
Output:
The TypeCode for Geeksforgeeks': String The TypeCode for '12': Int32
Example 2:
// C# program to illustrate the // GetTypeCode() Method using System;
class GFG {
// Main method public static void Main()
{ // given string
String str1 = "Geeks" ;
// get the TypeCode of the given String
// using GetTypeCode() method
TypeCode g = str1.GetTypeCode();
Console.WriteLine( "TypeCode for '{0}': {1}, Which means it represents a {2}." ,
str1, g.ToString( "D" ), g.ToString( "F" ));
} } |
Output:
TypeCode for 'Geeks': 18, Which means it represents a String.
