Here, as we are iterating over the contents of myObjects, we print out the underlying type of

each item using the GetType() method of System.Object as well as the value of the current item.

Without going into too much detail regarding System.Object.GetType() at this point in the text,

simply understand that this method can be used to obtain the fully qualified name of the item

(Chapter 16 fully examines the topic of type information and reflection services). Figure 4-5 shows

the output of the previous snippet.

Arrays of type object can hold anything at all.
