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();
}
}
}
