This sure looks like C#. I use typeof every once in a while when I want to check that the type of a reference is a specific type and not a parent or derived type. But yea, really not that often.
If you declare a class Pie<T>{} then attempt to call typeof(Pie<T>) or typeof(T) it won’t even build because you failed to specify what type T is. typeof(Pie<object>) would work but that just returns “Pie1[System.Object]”.
I have used typeof(T) inside the generic class, so fx a function inside the class Pie where T can be refered.
But out of context, if you were to call typeof(T) inside Program.cs’s main function, it would not work.
Yeah, but to do that you’d need an instantiated instance of the Pie class, which would answer in the context of the generic type parameter, not the whole Pie class.
This is too funny. Everyone here, me included, is profoundly overthinking this, lol.

It looks exactly like c++ and c# and java and probably others.
Typescript! Though it’s less useful, since the Typescript types aren’t available at runtime, so you’ll just get
objectfor non-primitive values.Java only has
instanceofandgetClass, not typeof.Probably because Java and C# take much inspiration from C++. They aren’t called “C-based” languages for nothing 😉
But neither c++ or Java have typeof
It can’t be actual C#, but it does look like it.
