Use the Python type() built-in function to check the variable type and after that show the result in the console with the help of the print method.
type(object)If want to check if a variable is of a given type, use the isinstance method.
isinstance(object, classtype)How to determine a Python variable’s type Example
Python simple example code gets the type of variable and prints it.
Example of type()
Check string, number, float, a complex number, list, tuple, dict, and set.
str1 = "Hello World"
age = 50
pi = 3.14
c_num = 3j + 10
my_list = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]
my_tuple = ("A", "B", "C", "D")
my_dict = {1: "a", 2: "b", 3: "c", 4: "d"}
my_set = {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'}
print(type(str1))
print(type(age))
print(type(pi))
print(type(c_num))
print(type(my_list))
print(type(my_tuple))
print(type(my_dict))
print(type(my_set))
Output:
Example isinstance() String check
Python isinstance() takes in two arguments, and it returns true if the first argument is an instance of the class info given as the second argument.
message = isinstance("Hello World", str)
print(message)Output: True
