How to determine a Python variable's type?

Question

How do I see the type of a variable whether it is unsigned 32 bit, signed 16 bit, etc.?How do I view it?

Answer 1

You can use Python's type function to determine a variable's type. See sample code below.

x=-3.222

if x<0:

sign = 'negative'

else:

sign = 'positive'

print(x, type(x), sign)

OUTPUT:

(-3.222, <class 'float'>, 'negative')
