Expressions and Operators - Illustrated C# 2005 - page 205

li3 = li1 - li2;
Console.WriteLine(" {0} - {1} = {2}",
li1.TheValue, li2.TheValue, li3.TheValue);
}
}

This code produces the following output:

li1: 10, li2: 26
-10 = 0
26 - 10 = 16
10 - 26 = 0

The typeof Operator
The typeof operator returns the System.Type object of any type given as its parameter. From
this object, you can learn the characteristics of the type. (There is only one System.Type object
for any given type.) The operator's characteristics are listed in Table 8-17.
The typeof operator is unary.

Table 8-17. The typeof Operator

Operator Description

typeof Returns the System.Type object of a given type.

The following is an example of the syntax of the typeof operator. Type is a class in the
System namespace.

Type t = typeof ( SomeClass )

You cannot overload the typeof operator, as that would defeat the .NET type-safety
mechanisms.
