How do you check the data type of a variable?

Question

ICSM Computer · Answer

In Python, you can check the data type of a variable using the built-in function
type().
Example:
x = 42
print(type(x))  # Output: andlt;class 'int'andgt;
y = "Hello"
print(type(y))  # Output: andlt;class 'str'andgt;
z = [1, 2, 3]
print(type(z))  # Output: andlt;class 'list'andgt;
Additional tips:
To check if a variable is of a specific type, use isinstance():
if isinstance(x, int):
    print("x is an integer")
type() returns the exact type, while isinstance() supports inheritance (useful for checking subclasses).
