I am very new to Python.Is there any method through which i can find out which type of value is stored in a particular variable?
In below code how to find out type of stored value in a variable?
counter = 100 miles = 1000.0 name = "John" name =10 print counter print miles print name 
>>> type('1') <class 'str'> >>> type(1) <class 'int'> >>> type(1.000) <class 'float'> >>> type({1:2}) <class 'dict'> >>> type([1,2,3]) <class 'list'> Quite simply, use type command built into python.
For example, you could check the type of this variable:
>>> name = 'John' >>> print(type(name)) <class 'str'> Use this method wherever you want on a variable, and you don't necessarily have to print it. You could use it to do different things with different variables based on what type it is, for example.
Hoped this helped :)
print type(counter)?Typefunction. You can check it here stackoverflow.com/questions/402504/…
