      Console.WriteLine($"Assembly Name: {info.Name}");
      Console.WriteLine($"Module Name: {info.Module.Name}");
      Console.WriteLine();

      var calculator = new Calculator();
      var typeObject = calculator.GetType();
      var methods = typeObject.GetRuntimeMethods();

      foreach (var method in methods)
      {
          Console.WriteLine($"Method name : {method.Name}, 
          ---> Return type : {method.ReturnType}");
      }

      Console.ReadLine();
