      //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();
    }
  }
