I have this program to generate data randomly, I need to display the data type of table columns in the output when I generate data, data type have to be next to the field name for example First_Name (CHAR), ID (CHAR). How can I make this please with some explanation because I am still beginner? Thank you.

I would use SALV table for the display and there you can edit the field names easily. Otherwise you can try other solutions, but this is the first one that came to my mind.
If you use this code instead of cl_demo_output=>display( ). it should work. At least it worked fine for me.

ENDTRY.
DATA(go_columns) = go_salv_table->get_columns( ).
SELECT fieldname, datatype
FROM dd03l
INTO TABLE @DATA(gt_dd03l)
WHERE dd03l~tabname = @lv_thrash
AND datatype <> ''.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
LOOP AT gt_dd03l ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<ls_dd03l>).
DATA(lo_column) = go_columns->get_column( columnname = <ls_dd03l>-fieldname ).
lo_column->set_short_text( |{ lo_column->get_short_text( ) }({ <ls_dd03l>-datatype })| ).
lo_column->set_medium_text( |{ lo_column->get_medium_text( ) }({ <ls_dd03l>-datatype })| ).
lo_column->set_long_text( |{ lo_column->get_long_text( ) }({ <ls_dd03l>-datatype })| ).
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
go_salv_table->display( ).
The explanation is simply that you can use several approaches to display, but the best solutions for editing field names are SALV or ALV_GRID. SALV can be generated with the factory method and then a fieldcatalog is automatically created based on the fields in your table. To edit it, you have to query the columns. SELECT will look up all the fields in the table and their corresponding data type, which will be added to the column name in the LOOP section later. Then it is displayed at the end with a display method.
Here is a good description of SALV: https://blogs.sap.com/2021/06/28/salv-alv-quickstart-snippets-%F0%9F%9A%80/
