type(x)

Question

what does type(x) do?

Answer 1

I suppose you're talking about python, in python there is a built-in function called type, it checks for the type of the object x, integer or string or tuple and so on.

Examples:
type(2) <class 'int'>
type("Hi") <class 'str'>

Answer 2

Yes you need the print statement to output it's type, it can be used without print for other purposes like: if type(x) == int

Answer 3

Yes, python.
So if it checks for the type do you have to print to get <class int>

Answer 4

In python type(x) will return the type of the object.

Answer 5

yes. you have to print to get <class int>. e.g. print(type(2))
