Idiom #109 Number of bytes of a type

Set n to the number of bytes of a variable t (of type T).

unsafe
{
    n = sizeof(T);
}

use iso_c_binding
n = c_sizeof(i)
import "reflect"
var t T
tType := reflect.TypeOf(t)

    String s = t.getClass().getSimpleName();
    return switch (s) {
        case "Boolean" -> 1;
