Int64.GetTypeCode Method in C# with Examples

Int64.GetTypeCode method is used to get the TypeCode for value type Int64.

Syntax: public TypeCode GetTypeCode ();

Return Value: This method returns the enumerated constant Int64.

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

Example 1:

// C# program to illustrate the
// Int64.GetTypeCode() Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Taking long value
        // i.e. Int64
        long val = 4578123;

        // Getting the typecode for Int64
        // using GetTypeCode() method
        TypeCode result = val.GetTypeCode();

        // Display the TypeCode
        Console.WriteLine("TypeCode for Int64 is: {0}",
                                               result);
    }
}

Output:

TypeCode for Int64 is: Int64

Example 2:

// C# program to illustrate the
// Int64.GetTypeCode() Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // using result() Method
        result(Int64.MinValue);
        result(Int64.MaxValue);
    }

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

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

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

Output:

TypeCode for -9223372036854775808 is Int64
TypeCode for 9223372036854775807 is Int64
