The is and as operators in C# are used for type checking and casting, but they have some key differences:

The is operator checks if an object is compatible with a given type. It returns true if the object is compatible, and false otherwise[1][3]. For example:

object obj = "hello";
bool isString = obj is string; // isString = true
bool isInt = obj is int; // isInt = false

In contrast, the as operator attempts to cast an object to a given type. If the cast is successful, it returns the object as the target type. If the cast fails, it returns null[1][4]. For example:

object obj = "hello";
string str = obj as string; // str = "hello"
int? i = obj as int; // i = null

Some other key differences:

• is can be used for reference, boxing, and unboxing conversions, while as is limited to nullable, reference, and bo...
