To determine the type of an object, we use type() function – which is a built-in function in python.

Python type() function

type() function is used to determine the type of an object, it accepts an object or value and returns it's type (i.e. a class of the object).

Syntax:

    type(object)

Example:

    Input:
    b = 10.23
    c = "Hello"

    # Function call
    print("type(b): ", type(b))
    print("type(c): ", type(c))

    Output:
    type(b):  <class 'float'>
    type(c):  <class 'str'>

Python code to determine the type of objects

# Python code to determine the type of objects

# declaring objects and assigning values
a = 10
b = 10.23
c = "Hello"
d = (10, 20, 30, 40)
e = [10, 20, 30, 40]

# printing types of the objects
# using type() function
print("type(a): ", type(a))
print("type(b): ", type(b))
print("type(c): ", type(c))
print("type(d): ", type(d))
print("type(e): ", type(e))

# printing the type of the value
# using type() function
print("type(10): ", type(10))
print("type(10.23): ", type(10.23))
print("type("Hello"): ", type("Hello"))
print("type((10, 20, 30, 40)): ", type((10, 20, 30, 40)))
print("type([10, 20, 30, 40]): ", type([10, 20, 30, 40]))

Output

type(a):  <class 'int'>
type(b):  <class 'float'>
type(c):  <class 'str'>
type(d):  <class 'tuple'>
type(e):  <class 'list'>
type(10):  <class 'int'>
type(10.23):  <class 'float'>
type("Hello"):  <class 'str'>
type((10, 20, 30, 40)):  <class 'tuple'>
type([10, 20, 30, 40]):  <class 'list'>
