What is the data type of the variable data??

Answer 1

It could be dictionary, because dictionary has a the method items, which turns the dictionary into an dict_items object which is filled with lists as [key, value] pairs.

{1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 27, 4: 64}.items()
---> dict_items([1, 1], [2, 4], [3, 27], [4, 64])

Answer 2

You can just try it:

print(type(data))

Answer 3

HonFu since it is part of the django-project it can't be executed by itself we have to run the django development server for this, in which the output is only in form of Html pages and when I tried to get the type in html output it is showing something like type is not subscriptable (i don't remember the error message completely)

Answer 4
