Decimal.GetTypeCode Method in C# with Examples

Decimal.GetTypeCode method is used to get the TypeCode for value type Decimal.

Syntax: public TypeCode GetTypeCode ();

Return Value: This method returns the enumerated constant Decimal.

Below programs illustrate the use of the above discussed-method:

Example 1:

// C# program to illustrate the
// Decimal.GetTypeCode() Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Taking decimal variable
        // having fractional part
        Decimal dec1 = 214748.78549M;

        // Getting the typecode for Decimal
        // using GetTypeCode() method
        TypeCode result = dec1.GetTypeCode();

        // Display the time
        Console.WriteLine("TypeCode for Decimal is: {0}",
                                                 result);
    }
}

Output:

TypeCode for Decimal is: Decimal

Example 2:

// C# program to illustrate the
// Decimal.GetTypeCode() Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // using result() Method
        result(Decimal.MinValue);
        result(Decimal.MaxValue);
    }

    // result() method
    public static void result(decimal val)
    {

        // using GetTypeCode() method
        TypeCode code = val.GetTypeCode();

        // Display the hashcode
        Console.WriteLine("TypeCode for {0} is {1}",
                                         val, code);
    }
}

Output:

TypeCode for -79228162514264337593543950335 is Decimal
TypeCode for 79228162514264337593543950335 is Decimal
