Determine variable type in Python

Determine variable type in Python

To get the type of a variable in python you can use the built in type() method.

x=1
print(type(x))

output:

<class ‘int’>

In the following code we are printing the value the data type of variable x.

x=1
print(type(x))
y=type(x)
if y==int:
print("variable is integer")
elif y==str: 
print("variable is string")
elif y==float:
print("variable is float")

If you execute the code above then the following will be printed:
variable is integer

try changing the value of x to different types such as string,float.To set float value you can assign x as:

x=1.1

Similarly to assign string to x:

x=”Hello!”
