How to check if the type of a variable is string?

Question

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

isinstance(x,int);

for integer values?

Answer 1

• The correct way of solving this problem is:-

isinstance(s, str)

• You can also solve this problem in the following way:-

if type(x) == str:

• Another thing you can do is:-

var = 1 

if type(var) == int:

   print('your variable is an integer')

Or:

var2 = 'this is variable'

if type(var2) == str: 

    print('your variable is a string')

else:

 print('your variable IS NOT a string')
