How to check if type of a variable is string

Question

Is there a way to check if the type of a variable in python is a string, like:

isinstance(x,int);

for integer values?

Answer 1

Hello @kartik,

You can do:

var = 1
if type(var) == int:
   print('your variable is an integer')

or:

var2 = 'this is variable #2'
if type(var2) == str:
    print('your variable is a string')
else:
    print('your variable IS NOT a string')

Hope this helps!
