C# Type Operators

Type operators in C# are used to check or cast the type of an object. These operators include:

Key Topics

Example 1: The is Operator

// is Operator Example
object obj = "Hello";
bool result = obj is string;
Console.WriteLine(result);  // Outputs True

Output:

True

Code Explanation: The is operator checks if obj is of type string and returns true.

Example 2: The as Operator

// as Operator Example
object obj = "Hello";
string str = obj as string;
if (str != null) {
    Console.WriteLine(str);  // Outputs Hello
}

Output:

Hello

Code Explanation: The as operator attempts to cast obj to a string. If the cast is successful, str is not null, and the value is printed.

Key Takeaways

  • The is operator checks if an object is of a specific type.
  • The as operator attempts to cast an object to a specific type, returning null if it fails.
