Each cell carries out various functions of life
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
The haploid chromosome number is half the chromosome number of the body cells. For example, in humans, body cells have 46 chromosomes. In human haploid cells (sex cells), there are 23 chromosomes.
The function of a haploid cell is to participate in sexual reproduction, where it combines with another haploid cell to form a diploid cell containing genetic material from both parents. In humans, haploid cells are sperm cells in males and egg cells in females.
Haploid (prefix ha- half) Diploid (prefix di- two) Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes. Diploid cells have 46 chromosomes. Haploid cells contain HALF the number of chromosomes whereas a Diploid has 2x the chromosomes a haploid cell has. 23 -- Haploid x 2 ---- 46 -- Diploid

It has to be defined what organism. Anyway, in human, the only haploid cells are spermatozoons, oocytes, and some of their developmental stages.

Yes, sperm and egg cells are n. They both have 23 chromosomes, which is the haploid count.
Human somatic cells are diploid, 2n. Human sex cells are haploid, n. Thus, the ploidy of human cells is 2, while n=23.

Diploid
Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes, while diploid cells have two sets. For example, human sperm and egg cells are haploid, containing 23 chromosomes each. In contrast, most human body cells are diploid, with 46 chromosomes, inherited from both parents.
Officially, the egg cell is the ovum which is haploid. However, the precursor cells in the ovaries, which people commonly refer to as eggs, are diploid. During the process known as oogenesis, the diploid cells undergo meiosis and become haploid.
