sizeof() Operator in C#

The sizeof() operator is used to obtain the size of a data type in bytes in bytes. It will not return the size of the variables or instances. Its return type is always int. Syntax:

int sizeof(type);

Examples:

Input : sizeof(byte);
Output : 1

Input : sizeof(int);
Output : 4

csharp

// C# program to illustrate the 
// sizeof() operator
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
 
namespace IncludeHelp
{
    class Test
    {
        // Main Method 
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("sizeof(char)     : {0}", sizeof(char));
            Console.WriteLine("sizeof(byte)     : {0}", sizeof(byte));
            Console.WriteLine("sizeof(sbyte)    : {0}", sizeof(sbyte));
            Console.WriteLine("sizeof(float)    : {0}", sizeof(float));
            Console.WriteLine("sizeof(ushort)   : {0}", sizeof(ushort));
            Console.WriteLine("sizeof(double)   : {0}", sizeof(double));
            Console.WriteLine("sizeof(int)      : {0}", sizeof(int));
            Console.WriteLine("sizeof(bool)     : {0}", sizeof(bool));
            Console.WriteLine("sizeof(short)    : {0}", sizeof(short));
             
        }
    }
}

Output:

sizeof(char)     : 2
sizeof(byte)     : 1
sizeof(sbyte)    : 1
sizeof(float)    : 4
sizeof(ushort)   : 2
sizeof(double)   : 8
sizeof(int)      : 4
sizeof(bool)     : 1
sizeof(short)    : 2
