JShell is the REPL tool that has introduced in Java 9. We can use this tool to execute simple snippets in the command-line prompt.
When we enter an arithmetic expression, variable, etc in JShell, then it displays the result without details of the type of variable created. It is possible in JShell to display more information about the execution of an entered command, use verbose mode. We need to obtain more information on the commands executed by using the command: "/set feedback verbose" (the command can be preceded by "/").
In the below snippet, the verbose mode is on, and it can able to display more information about the type of variable.
