type()
type() is a Python function in the Built-in Functions category. Returns the type of an object, or creates a new type with three arguments. The syntax is type(object) / type(name, bases, dict). Parameters: object — any Python object. Returns: Type object. A typical example: type(42) #
type("hello") # . A close sibling is print(), which prints objects to the text stream, separated by `sep` and followed by `end`. A close sibling is len(), which returns the length (number of items) of an object. Works with sequences, collections, and strings. A close sibling is range(), which returns an immutable sequence of numbers. Commonly used in for loops. A close sibling is int(), which converts a number or string to an integer, or returns 0 if no arguments.
