The correct syntax to output the type of a variable or object in Python is to
use the built-in type() function with the variable or object as its
argument:
python
type(variable_name)
For example:
python
x = 5
print(type(x)) # Output: <class 'int'>
name = "Alice"
print(type(name)) # Output: <class 'str'>
This will print the class type of the object that the variable references,
showing its data type such as <class 'int'>, <class 'str'>, <class 'list'>, etc.
In summary:
- Use
type(variable)to get the type of the variable's value. - Wrap it in
print()to display it.
This is the standard and straightforward way to check and output the type of any variable or object in Python.
