| 5 | + * Note: the program does not accept strings |

| 7 | + * How to use: |
| 8 | + * rezzcode@linux$ rustc get_type.rs |
| 9 | + * rezzcode@linux$ ./get_type.rs 4 |
| 10 | + * |
| 11 | + * 4 is of type i32: 4 bytes |

| 13 | + * Size of char: 4 bytes |
| 14 | + * Size of u32: 4 bytes |
| 15 | + * Size of f64: 8 bytes |
