Answer 1

check out one of the simple way to do this

// Read string from console
        string line = Console.ReadLine(); 
        int valueInt;
        float valueFloat;
        if (int.TryParse(line, out valueInt)) // Try to parse the string as an integer
        {
            Console.Write("This input is of type Integer.");
        }
        else if (float.TryParse(line, out valueFloat)) 
        {
            Console.Write("This input is of type Float.");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("This input is of type string.");
        }
