How to find data type in Python?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to find data type in Python?

Answer 1

In Python, you can use type () in-built method to find the data type of that variable as follows:

score = 95

type(score)

output:

int

You can use .dtypes to find the data types of all the columns of a data frame as follows:

import pandas as pd

#creating a dataframe

items = [['Phone', 10000], ['Telivision', 25000], ['Laptop', 48000]]

df = pd.DataFrame(items, columns=['Item', 'Cost'], dtype=float)

#to find datatypes of all columns

df.dtypes

 output:

Item     object

Cost    float64

dtype: object
