Determine the type of an object?

Question

Is there a simple way to determine if a variable is a list, dictionary, or something else? I am getting an object back that may be either type and I need to be able to tell the difference.

Answer 1

To determine the type of an object you can do that using type():-

a = [] 

type(a) 

f = () 

type(f)
