Get type of object in Rust 1.55

In Rust 1.55, we can get the type of an object using the std::any::type_name() function which returns a &'static str representation of the object's type. Here is an example:

fn main() {
    let x = 5;
    let y = "hello";
    let z = true;
println!("Type of x is: {}", std::any::type_name::());

    println!("Type of y is: {}", std::any::type_name::());

    println!("Type of z is: {}", std::any::type_name::());

}

Output:

Type of x is: i32
Type of y is: &'static str
Type of z is: bool

In the above code, we used the typeof() macro to get the type of the variables x, y, and z, and passed it as a type parameter to the type_name() function. This returned a &'static str which we then printed to the console.
