C# code to show example of byte keyword

Here, we are pronouncing a byte variable num, instating it with the worth 120 and printing its worth, type, and size of a byte type variable.

using System;
using System.Text;

namespace Test
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //byte variable declaration
            byte num = 120;

            //printing value
            Console.WriteLine("num: " + num);
            //printing type of variable
            Console.WriteLine("Type of num: " + num.GetType());
            //printing size of a bool 
            Console.WriteLine("Size of a byte variable: " + sizeof(byte));

            //hit ENTER to exit
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Output:

num: 120
Type of num: System.Byte
Size of a byte variable: 1
